Amalga Composites, Inc.RESERVOIR QUALITY (RQ)
Translucent Pressure Tubing

"At-A-Glance" Fluid Level Indication

Designed specifically for pressurized air-oil system reservoirs, translucent Reservoir Quality (RQ) Tubing provides the ease of "at-a-glance" fluid level indication from any angle. RQ tubing is available in ID sizes ranging from 1 inch to 30 inches (metric sizes also available) and is typically used in systems of 150 psi or higher.

 Eliminates Costly Sight Glass.  RQ tubing is translucent, eliminating the need for an expensive and fragile sight glass.
 Shatter Resistant.  RQ tubing is formulated to withstand high impact and it is chip resistant. With an impact strength of 40 lzod ft.-lbs., unlike metals, RQ simply does not dent.
 10 Times as Strong.  RQ tubing offers at least 10 times the tensile strength of conventional thermoplastics such as polycarbonate, polystyrene and acrylic.
 Superior Corrosion Resistance.  Trouble-free performance in chemical, acid, high moisture and other corrosive conditions and adverse environments including salt, and chlorinated water.
 75% Reduction in Weight.  Composite construction reduces material handling and shipping costs. Approximately 1/4 the weight of steel or brass, and 3/4 the weight of aluminum, RQ is much easier to handle than traditional metal tubing. Assembly times are reduced and stress loads on connected component parts are decreased.
