Greg,

Diameter is the key - but it is both the outside diameter and inside diameter (and the tensile strength of the material used of course - modulus of elasticity to be precise)
Its proportional to (OD^4 - ID^4) so the two are inseparable (meaning wall thickness is almost equally important)
Length is a squared function

I calculate that out as between 0.30 to 0.36 arc secs deflection using a standard lateral load. Using some assumptions.
The dimensions you have given fall in between two different sizes of standard Nominal Bore pipe - not sure which, if any, it is.

Is this intended for the CDK17 ?
