Carbon Fiber Tubing

Our carbon fiber tubing is fabricated using “roll-wrap” construction around precision

machined mandrels.  The layup schedules use standard modulus uni-directional

carbon fiber pre-impregnated with a thermoset epoxy.  The use of pre-impregnated

carbon fiber instead of dry fabric maximizes stiffness to weight ratio.  This tubing

has a resin/fiber ratio of about 0.49 for optimum mechanical properties. 

Additionally, to preserve the esthetics of the classic carbon fiber weave seen

in the photos, an outer layer of bi-directional carbon fiber is included in the layup schedule.
