Hi Robert,
The T5 (Zaunkoenig)had a total length of 7175mm according to a drawing in Roessler's 'Torp. of the Germ. Uboats'(though officially listed at 7163mm)and a max. diameter of 534.6mm. Diam. was standard for all German torps used in WW2 boats. Late war developments showed 2 being tested with diam. of 533.4mm
Sorry, my drawing of a Torptube not detailed enough to take measurements. Perhaps after checking a.m. book, I'll find something on this.
