Amalga Composites, Inc. Tolerances

 








Cylinder Quality Tubing

Precision inside diameter without the expense or delays of honing operations.
Precision tooling developed and maintained by Amalga Composites is a critical element in providing the close tolerance pressure tubing you demand. Cylinder tubing offered by Amalga Composites has the following inside diameter characteristics that improve piston performance. The table provides geometric characteristics and tolerances for the range of diameters available.

Cutting
Composite tubing produced by Amalga Composites is cut to blueprint specified lengths. Depending on the tube diameter, either a horizontal stroke or abrasive cut off saw is utilized.

Chamfers, Shoulders and Grooves
Amalga Composites can offer a cylinder body that is completely machined and ready for assembly.
