Polycarbonate Tubes 5/8" Manufactured by Zight
Polycarbonate Tubes manufactured by Zight offer exceptional clarity and durability. These tubes are highly resistant to impact and temperature variations, making them ideal for use in environments where safety and visibility are critical. Their robustness and chemical resistance ensure reliable performance in industries such as oil & gas, chemical, and pharmaceutical sectors, where clear and strong tubing is essential.
What is Polycarbonate?
Polycarbonate is a tough thermoplastic which is easy to work with at high temperatures. It is widely used in modern manufacture for its excellent characteristics and chemical resistance. The name “polycarbonate” derived from its structure in which polymers are present in functional groups bonded by carbon-based molecular structures.
What is Polycarbonate?
| Type of Observation | Transparent |
|---|---|
| Outside Diameter | 5/8" |
| Wall Thickness | 1/8" |
| Inside Diameter | 3/8" |

Tubular Gauge Glass
This products are mainly used in Vision-Type control equipment where safety against breakage form glass may occur. Due to the fact that polycarbonate is approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) it is widely used in food, chemical and pharma-ceutical companies.
Transparent - Full Visibility
Transparent polycarbonate tubes, recommended for when the fluid is not translucid or the color in the level is important for the process at hand.
