High Strength 3K Carbon Fibre Twill Plain Matte Gloss High Modulus Carbon Fiber Tube
High modulus carbon fiber tubes are characterized by their high stiffness or modulus of elasticity. This means they have a high resistance to deformation under load, making them suitable for applications where rigidity and strength are critical.
The modulus of elasticity of carbon fiber is typically measured in gigapascals (GPa). Standard modulus carbon fiber has a modulus of around 230-250 GPa, while intermediate modulus carbon fiber ranges from 300-350 GPa. High modulus carbon fiber, on the other hand, can have a modulus exceeding 400 GPa, providing significantly greater stiffness and strength compared to standard and intermediate modulus fibers.
High modulus carbon fiber tubes are used in a variety of applications where lightweight, stiffness, and strength are essential, such as aerospace, automotive, marine, and sporting goods industries. They are often more expensive than standard modulus carbon fiber tubes due to the more advanced manufacturing processes and materials used to produce them.
What are carbon fiber tubes used for?
Carbon fiber tubes are used in a wide range of applications, including tactical ladders, systems, rods, and beams. Carbon fiber provides low weight, and better mechanical properties over conventional materials like aluminum, and steel.
Are carbon fiber tubes strong?
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.
Do carbon fiber tubes bend?
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!
