High Modulus 3K Light Weight Filament Winding Round Tube Carbon Fiber Pipe

Filament Winding

The filament winding process begins with a tow of carbon fiber, fiberglass, or carbon fiber-fiber glass hybrid. The tow is put on the spools at the winding machine. There is a mandrel that is at the front of the spools. This process involves winding filaments under tension over a rotating mandrel. The mandrel rotates around the spindle while a delivery eye on a carriage traverses horizontally in line with the axis of the rotating mandrel, laying down fibers in the desired pattern or angle. Once the mandrel is covered with the desired thickness, it will be placed in the oven for curing. After the resin is cured, the mandrel is removed, leaving the hollow final product.

With our thin ply tech, multiple thin-layered film construction using CF and AL or selected fiber layer, low FAW CF ply combined with AL foil or selected fiber backing, it is strong and lightweight.

Carbon Fiber Tubes FAQ

1. How is the diameter of your tubes measured?
Except for pultruded tubes (diameter measured from outside), all DragonPlate tube diameters are measured from the inside of the tube (ID). To determine the approximate outside diameter, add 2x the wall thickness to the ID measurement.

2. What finish options do you offer for your tubes?
Finish options include gloss, natural, textured, and tooled, depending on tube type. Please see each tube type for finish options. We also offer a sanded finish upon request. Contact us for more details.

3. How do you recommend cutting DragonPlate carbon fiber tubes? Is there any safety gear that I should use?
DragonPlate carbon fiber tubes are pre-cut to the specified lengths or slightly oversized. The tubes are easily cut to length using a bandsaw, coping saw, or Dremel tool. Recommended precautions include wearing safety glasses, a dust respirator, and protective clothing when cutting, sanding or drilling, to limit exposure to the dust, which is an irritant.

4. Do you offer custom cutting of your carbon fiber tubes?
Yes! We can custom cut our carbon fiber tubes to your specified length. Contact us for details.
