I did a quick Google on "Kuri Tec K010", and found the page for this make of tubing at http://www.kuriyama.com (it's on their literature page). One thing that I noticed that was of interest was the hardness of this tubing... it was given as 73 +/- 3 on the Shore A scale. Unfortunately this means that the tubing is quite hard compared to Tygon or Clearflex, which have hardness values of around 55-57. I agree that you'll be able to make this work, but it doesn't appear to be much more than your typical thickwall PVC. Sorry.
