We are looking for electropolished 316L stainless with an RA of 10 microinch or better. Many vendors do not have stock. Apparently a lot of vendors have been sourcing this material from South Korea, but they have reached their import limit for 2022. As a result, some vendors are stating tubing will not be available until 2023. Others are saying December or some time in Q4. </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone know of a potential vendor who may have stock?</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Best Regards,</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br>Matt</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">--</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Matthew T.
