High Pressure Resistance Wide Temperature Range Carbon Fiber Tubing

LIJIN offers a wide range of carbon fiber tubes for many different applications. Our tubes are manufactured by us here in the USA, giving us complete control over the characteristics and quality.

Carbon fiber tubes are used in numerous applications like tactical ladders, trusses, beams, and more. Carbon fiber is typically chosen over traditional materials such as aluminum, steel, and titanium because of the following properties:

• High strength and stiffness to weight
• Excellent resistance to fatigue
• Dimensional stability: Low CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion)
• Resistance to corrosion
• X-Ray transparency
• Chemical resistivity

What is carbon fiber tubing?

Roll wrapped prepreg carbon fiber tubes are constructed using multiple wraps of twill and/or unidirectional fabrics. Rolled tubes are ideal for applications that require the highest bending stiffness and lowest weight, such as automation, robotics, telescoping poles, idler rollers, and UAV components.

Is carbon fiber tube strong?

In the tensile strength test, it was found that the carbon fiber tube can withstand a tensile strength of more than 800MPa, and the maximum strain is 0.03, which shows that the tensile strength of the carbon fiber tube is extremely excellent.

Is carbon fiber stronger than steel?

Carbon fiber is five-times stronger than steel and twice as stiff. Though carbon fiber is stronger and stiffer than steel, it is lighter than steel; making it the ideal manufacturing material for many parts. These are just a few reasons why carbon fiber is favored by engineers and designers for manufacturing.

Can carbon fiber tubes be bent?

Our carbon fiber tubing is built using a thermoset epoxy resin. This means that once cured the epoxy never returns to a liquid state. If you tried to bend our tubing it would break with enough applied force but it will not bend. Carbon fiber/epoxy composite is very stiff!

What is carbon fiber used for?

Carbon fiber-reinforced composite materials are used to make aircraft and spacecraft parts, racing car bodies, golf club shafts, bicycle frames, fishing rods, automobile springs, sailboat masts, and many other components where light weight and high strength are needed.
