As measured with a dial caliper:
.31" OD
.25" ID

Ok, I froze my toes off in my garage for you! Now settle my curiosity and tell me what you are up to ;-)

haha! thanks pal, I appreciate it!

i'm trying to figure out if I can use a dip tube as a thermowell, cut the curved end off, crimp and weld. Unfortunately my sensor probe is right at 1/4", so it doesn't seem like it'll work....

KY and a hammer! I'm sure there is some variance in the tubes, but I believe they are all probably made to be about 1/4"

Perhaps something could be found in the way of stainless brake or 3/8" fuel line at an automotive store, or something in the plumbing department. I think toilet supply lines are 3/8" aren't they? When they are rigid tube. Good luck!

thanks. I found some 304 stainless on amazon of all places, so I might just stick with that.
