Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this 0.633-inch thick polycarbonate sheet offers exceptional impact resistance (typically 30-50 ft-lbs/in notched Izod) and a high tensile strength (around 8,000-10,000 psi). Its wide operating temperature range (-40°F to 250°F) and excellent optical clarity make it suitable for sight glasses, protective covers, and manifold blocks in hydraulic circuits where visibility and durability are paramount. The dimensions of 26 inches by 23 inches provide ample material for fabrication of custom hydraulic components.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Use torque-limiting tools and install gaskets or grommets to distribute load.
Using incompatible cleaning solvents that can craze or degrade the polycarbonate.Only use mild soap and water or approved polycarbonate cleaners.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic Sight Glasses
  • Protective Guards for Hydraulic Machinery
  • Manifold Blocks and Fluid Reservoirs

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without proper coatings, as this can degrade material properties.
  • Do not subject to impact exceeding the material's specified impact strength.
