Clear plastic tube
Clear plastic tube
(OP)
I want to know if there is a clear plastic tube that is suitable for exposure to 160degsC. The ID needs to be 4" but the wall thickness is not important.
It forms part of a test rig but will be backed up with a steel casing with slots so that we can see in.
Would glass be an option - just thinking about it (and looking out of the window!)
Cheers
Phil.

RE: Clear plastic tube
Off the top of my head, TPX might take 160, polycarbonate probably won't, Polysulphone will. Amorphous nylons probably will.
I don't expect any except the polycarbonate are available ex stock, but if the requirement was sufficient, they could all be made.
