Home / Carbon Fiber Tubes
Shapes
Carbon fiber tubes can be fabricated into virtually any shape. These include:
Round
Square
Rectangle
Oval, elliptical
Octagon, hexagon
Custom shapes and profiles
Diameters
We offer stock, build-to-order, and custom carbon fiber tubes in multiple diameters. Custom tooling can be made to order for reasonable cost. See our current Mandrel List.
Wide range of diameters from 0.060” to over 10”
Most common fractional sizes (ID and OD)
Tapered diameters
Many metric sizes
OD grinding add-on service (+/-0.0005”)
Wall Thickness
Carbon fiber tubes are made with layers of prepreg, typically ~0.006” per layer. Virtually any wall thickness can be made by changing the number of layers or combining different prepreg thicknesses (0.003” – 0.010”).
Common tube thicknesses include:
Thin wall: 0.010”, 0.020”
0.035”, 0.041”, 0.058”, 0.064”, 0.092”
1/8”, 1/4” or thicker
Length
Roll-wrapped carbon fiber tubing is sold in standard lengths or can be built custom to reduce waste.
Maximum length is 96” (for most ID sizes)
Long lengths: tubes can be joined together with internal (or external) ferrules to achieve the required length.
One-piece longer lengths are possible for larger orders
Tubes can be cut to size for an additional charge.
Precision cutting tolerances available (+/-0.010” or better)
Exterior Finishing
Carbon fiber tubes can be made with a variety of exterior finishes. Our standard finishes include:
Cello-wrap (glossy with resin ridges – natural result from production process)
Matte (sanded or centerless ground)
Satin (sanded, high grit)
Glossy (clearcoat)
Painted
Visit our finishing capabilities page to learn more.
Exterior Materials
We offer many standard exterior materials for our roll-wrapped carbon fiber tubes. These include:
2×2 twill fabric
Plain weave fabric
UD (unidirectional)
Silver texalium
Red/black
Blue/black
Custom colors/styles: any fabric that is commercially available can be utilized to make carbon fiber tubing.
