Example 1
If a bulk length of tubing is 1,000' and the desired
length of each individual piece is 6", the minimum
order requirement is 2,000 pieces.
Given (length of reel)........................................1,000'
Convert to inches by multiplying by 12.......12 x 1,000
Length of reel in inches ...............................= 12,000
Divide by desired length............................12,000 ÷ 6
Total number of 6" pieces
in a 1,000' reel (Minimum Order)................= 2,000
Example 2
If a bulk reel of tubing is 400' and the desired length
of each individual piece is 2", the minimum order
requirement is 2,400 pieces.
Given (length of reel)...........................................400'
Convert to inches by multiplying by 12..........12 x 400
Length of reel in inches .................................= 4,800
Divide by desired length.............................4,800 ÷ 2
Total number of 2" pieces
in a 400' reel (Minimum Order)...................= 2,400

Custom-Cut Length of Bulk
Packaging — Thin-Wall Tubing
To best meet your requirements for thin-wall heat-shrinkable tubing, Thomas & Betts
welcomes the opportunity to cut bulk reels of tubing. Minimum order requirement is
one standard bulk reel, and multiples thereof. See table for bulk reel length by size.
Tubing cannot be cut smaller than
1
2".
When ordering custom-cut lengths of tubing, order by piece, not by length.
To determine the minimum number of pieces to order, simply figure how many
pieces of a specific length of tubing are required to make use of a complete bulk
reel. See examples to convert bulk reels to cut pieces.
Custom order lengths for those special jobs!
