CARBON TUBE

Our roll wrapped tubes come in various diameters, thickness and length. Each piece is manufactured to aerospace standards using carbon fiber prepreg materials.

HOW ARE OUR TUBES DIFFERENT?

  • Fabricated to a controlled Engineering drawing
  • Manufactured in the USA
  • Full tracability from raw material source to inspection
  • Inspected with metrology calibrated to NIST standards
  • Each shipment comes with a Certificate of Conformance (CoC)

HOW DO WE FABRICATE OUR TUBES?

Each tube is hand fabricated starting out as thin layers of carbon fabric that is pre-impregnated with epoxy resin. The fabric we use has 3000 filaments per tow commonly known as 3K. To give that classic look, the carbon fiber tows are woven in a 2×2 twill pattern. The fabric is then impregnated with epoxy resin.

The material is wrapped on the outside of a metallic mandrel. This gives a uniform smooth texture on the inside of the tube. The outside surface is glossy from the cello wrapped surface.  Additionally we can polish the outside if you desire for an additional charge.
