10mm (8mm) Roll Wrapped Carbon Fibre Tube

This tube has an outside diameter (OD) of 10mm and an inside diameter (ID) of 8mm, resulting in a 1mm wall thickness and is manufactured using high strength unidirectional carbon fibre down the length of the tube for stiffness, interspersed with layers of unidirectional Carbon fibre at 90° around the tube to provide strength in the hoop direction. The tube is not cosmetically finished and shows unidirectional carbon fibre on the outside with a slight ribbed texture from the manufacturing process.

Available in 1000mm (1m) and 2000mm (2m) lengths.

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

This tube is manufactured using unidirectional prepreg carbon fibre oriented to provide maximum strength in the lateral (length-ways) axis but the use of prepreg reinforcement oriented at 90° also ensures that the tube has good crush-strength; ideal for real-world applications.

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.
