Carbon Fiber Tubing - 16mm x 14mm x 500mm - 3K Roll Wrapped 100% Carbon Fiber Tube Glossy

Carbon Fiber Tubing - 14mm x 16mm x 500mm. 3K Tow - Twill weave, glossy surface. Super high-strength tubing. Outer Wall (16mm), Inner Diameter (14mm), Wall thickness (1mm), Length (500mm).

A 100% 3k carbon fiber tube is manufactured by wrapping unidirectional carbon fiber prepreg tape around a mandrel with the majority, but not all, of the carbon fiber running longitudinally. This type of construction offers a higher strength-to-weight ratio than is available in pultruded tubes. Typically used where thin-walled, lightweight tubes are required to provide additional torsional stiffness and high strength.

Carbon fiber tubes can be used to replace or substitute aluminum or steel tubes in a wide range of projects. Their superior mechanical properties mean that tubes of the same weight as an aluminum or steel tube can be much stronger, or that tubes of the same strength can be much lighter.

Carbon fibre tubes can be used to replace aluminium or steel tubes in a wide range of projects. The Carbon fibre tube of the same weight as an aluminum or steel tube can be much stronger and lighter. 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.

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.

Roll Wrapping:

The phrase roll wrapped refers to the process used to manufacture these tubes. The prepreg carbon fibre is first laid up around a mandrel in multiple layers. Once the reinforcement is in place it is spiral-wrapped with heat-shrink tape before the whole assembly is oven cured.
