Roll Wrapped High Performance Carbon Fibre Tube 3K For Use In Projects
Whether your project is big or small, we are bound to have round carbon fiber tubing that suits your needs. As a bonus, we are generally able to ship right away on most products listed in our store! Aside from aesthetic variations of our many round stock tubes, you might also wish to consider their superb mechanical properties as well. That is after all the main reason we love carbon fiber so much! Of course, it's a bonus that it looks incredible too.
Roll-wrapped tubing is manufactured using multiple layers of prepreg carbon fiber (and if noted, other) materials. In general, each layer is about 0.006 inches thick which means that a tube with a wall thickness of 0.060 inches will typically be composed of 9-10 individual layers of carbon fiber. The number of layers (plys) allows us to vary the orientation of the fibers throughout the thickness, creating a high-performance, engineered product.
3K High-Performance carbon fibre tubes is our range of 3K Woven Finish tubes which have a stunning high-gloss / Matte woven carbon fibre finish to complement their incredible strength. With the classic appearance of 2/2 twill carbon fibre coupled with 100% roll-wrapped prepreg carbon fibre construction, these remarkable tubes look as good as they perform.
This tube is ideally suited to a wide range of applications such as radio-controlled models (RC Planes), UAVs, Drones, Multicopters, recreational equipment, sporting goods, robotics and photography/video equipment (tripods etc.).
Different from Pultruded carbon fibre tubes, a roll-wrapped tube is lighter in weight, stiffer and stronger. It is widely used for many projects in sports, RC, robots, etc. by hobbyists for surface protection. 3K Carbon fiber tube with high strength, stiffness, and excellent load-bearing performance.
This 3K Woven Finish tube is manufactured from alternating layers of unidirectional prepreg carbon fibre for maximum strength with the final layer swapped for 2/2 twill, 3K woven carbon fibre so that the tube has the classic appearance of woven carbon fibre. This means that although the tubes are designed for demanding mechanical applications, they also look fantastic, adding a cutting-edge carbon fibre appearance to any application.
