Overview
Carbon fiber tubes offer an exceptional strength to weight ratio with stiffness far above glass composites, suited to high-performance and weight-critical structures.
Key Properties
With very low thermal expansion and high fatigue resistance, carbon tubes outperform FRP pultrusion sections where rigidity per kilogram is the deciding factor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Tensile modulus | 120 to 230 GPa |
| Density | 1.5 to 1.6 g/cm3 |
| Operating temp | -50 to 150 C |
| Wall thickness | 0.5 to 5 mm |
Typical Applications
- Robotics and automation arms
- UAV and drone frames
- Medical imaging gantries
- High-end sporting goods
Related Solutions
For larger structural builds, pair carbon tubes with FRP pultrusion beams and fiberglass grating decks, or use FRP rebar in adjacent concrete works.
