I got some paper phenolic liners custom made by Precision Paper Tube (pptube.com). They are 5" ID, 5.25" OD, .125" wall, and 36" long. When I bought a batch of 5 they were about $200 each. Make sure to specify convolute wound, not spiral wound.


Daryle, I still have some left if that size would work for you.

Those of you who are working with fuel grains in the 150mm / 5.5-6 inch
diameter range, what are you using for your motor cases and liners? The
largest I've done before is 98mm, and I used as much off the shelf Aerotech
hardware as I could. Now I need to do something larger in a hurry at work
and I'm hoping to find a source of pre-made carbon phenolic tubes between
5.5 to 6 inches in diameter. Any sources or ideas? Other things to try?
