0.5m PVC Heat Shrink 10/17/20/24/29/55/70/80/86/90/110/164/220/230/250/280/320/360/400/500mm Battery Heatshrink

• 0.5 metre.
• 0.5M Black PVC Heat Shrink Tubing 10-500mm FLAT WIDTH (see how to convert below for diameter or a rectangular/square shape).
• Note: We also have blue PVC heat shrink in stock in sizes from 17mm up to 500mm flat width. We also have transparent/clear, green and grey heatshrink in lengths from 0.5m to 20m.
• PVC heat shrink is much thinner than polyolefin heatshrink.
• The measurement is for FLAT WIDTH (see how to convert below for diameter, rectangular measurements and for any shape whatsoever).
• Applications: battery pack, rope covering, pool hose covering etc.
• Smooth surface, uniform thickness, no obvious spots, no traces of oil, impurities or creasing (other than the flatended edge with is removed in the shrinking process).
• Sizes available: choose 17/20/24/29/50/55/70/80/86/90/103/110/140/164/220mm (flat widths - use conversion below for diameters).
• Colour: Black.
  
• Insulation, soft and stable performance.
• Low shrinkage temperature, fast contraction.

How to choose the size

• The measurements you are choosing above are the flat widths of the heat shrink. Easy calculations are below. Alternatively, please view the table below.
• If you are sliding the heatshrink over the end of a rectangular object, the quick way to calculate the flat width required is to simply add the height and width and add a small percentage to ensure it fits over. That's because the flat width is the circumference (perimeter) divided by two plus a small extra percentage such as 10-20% to make sure it goes over. Flat width = 2(L+W)/2, which equals LW.
• If you are sliding the heatshrink over the end of a circlular object you can either measure the diameter, radius or circumference of the object. If you measure the circumference, divide by two and then add a small percentage. If your object is 200mm circumference you need a flat width of 120mm approximately (20% more than half). Use a string to span the circumference and then measure the string that went around. 
• Whatever the shape of the object, run a string around it, measure the length of the string, divide by 2 and then add a small percentage.
• If you want to convert the other way i.e. flat width to round width, then multiply flat width by 2/pi.
• You can use much larger heat shrink because of the large shrinkage ratio of PVC heat shrink. Slowly apply heat due to the low melting temperature of PVC. Even a hair dryer of reasonable quality is hot enough.

* remember to add a small percentage to the Exact Flat Width's below.
