Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this 0.740" thick polycarbonate sheet measures 23" in length and 20" in width. Composed of high-grade polycarbonate resin, it exhibits superior impact resistance (Izod notched impact strength typically > 50 ft-lb/in) and excellent tensile strength (approximately 8,000-9,000 psi). Its broad operating temperature range (-40°F to 250°F) and inherent UV stability make it suitable for demanding hydraulic applications requiring visual monitoring or protective barriers. This material's chemical resistance also contributes to its longevity in fluid power systems.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without washers, leading to localized stress concentrations and potential cracking.Always use flat, wide washers with fasteners to distribute pressure evenly across the polycarbonate surface.
Drilling holes too close to the edge without proper consideration for material expansion.Allow adequate edge distance when drilling holes, and consider slightly oversized holes to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic system sight glasses
  • Protective guards for hydraulic equipment
  • Enclosures for hydraulic control panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to strong alkaline chemicals, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or tools, as they can scratch the surface.
