k so... basicaly my 7mm ID 10mm OD is wrong then so i got to take it back. DOH!

6mm ID = 1/4"
7mm ID = 9/32"
8mm ID = 5/16"
10mm ID = 3/8"
12mm ID = 7/16"

dont suppose anyone has a list of all common sizes used in phase change in metric and imperial?

also is it the ID or OD im ment to be using for phase change like this? http://www.coolfreeze.com/mail-order/itmidx12.htm

that is plumbing tubing, refrigeration tubing is dehydrated and is what is normally used.
