One turn is quoted by Fair-Rite with 190 ohms at 10MHz, 290 ohms at 25MHz
31 mix would not be my choice for a balun anyway, at least not with decent
power.
It´s curie temperature ist just over 130°C.

4-5 turns with 4 x 2.4" OD #31 ferrites is more effective than the 30 turns
on the PVC pipe! Probably double the choking impedance!

A solenoid winding made of coax is more effective then those 4 wraps.
I use SCF12-50 Cellfex to wind my choke baluns.
30 turns on a pvc tube of 4-5" diameter do the trick (2000 ohms at 14MHz).

##  coiled up coax is not the answer either, the Z is  too low.   Like
gerald sez,
the wire leads on the baluns output is part of the total DE ele  length. 
So if using coax... factor that in...and make the Y the correct length. 

##  4 wraps  of  213 U around   4 x 2.4 inch OD    type 31 ferrite will do
the trick
for a balun....
