Policarbonate Tubular Gage Glass
Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic group easy to mold, thermo-form, and work with. They are widely used in modern manufacturing. The name "polycarbonate" is because they are based on polymers which are presented on functional groups linked by carbonate groups in a long molecular chain.
These tubes are used primarily in liquid storage tank levels in which the hydrostatic pressure needs to be supported, and where security is sought to prevent a break due to an accident.
The material has been approved for use by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration).
