Tubular tires are really only found in the realm of high-end road racing and cyclocross bikes, and predominantly the 700c size.
There was a 650c (571 ERTO?) in the 1990-y2k era that saw use on low-pro time-trial bikes, but is an obsolete size today. These tires were often given the 26" designation, because tire manufacturer Continental is German, and under the traditional German naming scheme, 650c are called 26"
650C tubular tires are still available for wheelchair racing athletes, from the same companies that make tubular tires for bicycles, e.g.:
