Good question....I honestly don't know... Brake line certainly would hold up...

I'm sure others have used the stuff in the mini spud guns so I imagine it would...

Better ask or look around...

Power brake system pressure is in the order of 1000 - 3000 psi.

It will hold 140psi.

Tell the clerk that you want the brake line for a non-automotive application (science project?), and ask to see what they have in stock.

The brake lines are usually all hanging on a rack in one location, so this should not present much of a problem.

ifr you search for "brass tubing" at mcmaster.com it will bring up a very descriptive page of all the dimensions they carry. the only problem is that they only sell packs of 5 tubes... I have seen brass tubes at hobby stores as well though...

Well I'll go to another shop, because they asked me the serial number and some other stuff but not the size...
