3K Roll Wrapped Carbon Fiber Tube 1 Inch High Pressure Resistance

High Pressure Resistance Good Toughness 3K Roll-Wrapped 1 inch Carbon Fiber Tube

Roll wrapped carbon fibre tubes offer superior strength in general use to ‘pultruded’ tubes (which have all their fibres running in exactly the same direction. This 1 inch carbon fiber tubing is fabricated with multiple layers of high strength unidirectional carbon fiber prepreg and has a 3K 2×2 twill fabric on the exterior.

The use of unidirectional fibres and maximum strength in the lateral axis does mean that the tube is not strong across its diameter as it is along its length so should be used in such a way as to avoid unnecessary crushing forces across the tube.

Due to their unique properties, carbon fiber tubes are used in numerous applications over traditional materials such as aluminum, steel and titanium.

• High strength and stiffness with low weight
• Excellent fatigue resistance
• Dimensional stability: Low to Zero CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion)

Standard Modulus Carbon Fiber Tubing (SM)

This is the most common grade of carbon fiber used for our carbon fiber tubes. Standard modulus offers excellent strength and stiffness. It is 1.5X stiffer than aluminum and is the most economical grade.

Intermediate Modulus Carbon Fiber Tubing (IM)

This grade of tubing offers enhanced stiffness over standard modulus carbon fiber tubing with the same or better strength. Intermediate modulus is approximately two times stiffer than aluminum tubing.

High Modulus Carbon Fiber Tubing (HM)

At three times stiffer than aluminum (or equivalent to steel stiffness), this grade of tubing has very similar strength to standard modulus carbon fiber tubing. It is an excellent choice for demanding, weight sensitive applications.

Ultra-High Modulus Carbon Fiber Tubing (UHM)

Incredible stiffness at four-five times that of aluminum or 1.5 times that of steel. Ultra-high modulus has lower strength and is not recommended for high stress applications.
