Extremely Strong Rectangular Carbon Fiber Tube Low Thermal Expansion

Extremely Strong and Durable Rectangular Carbon Fiber Tube - Low Thermal Expansion

To meet growing market demand, LIJIN is now selling an Economy line of tubes and plates. These products provide a lower bar for entry for customers looking to incorporate carbon fiber and other composites into their projects. This low-cost line is sourced internationally and is best utilized in applications that do not have engineering critical features, but have the convenience of shipping from our Utah operation for expedient delivery.

Our premium tubes and plates are manufactured to our exacting standards in-house. The result is greater strength and stiffness with guaranteed consistent layups, tolerances, and test results. If you need help deciding what is right for you, please contact us and we’ll assist you as best we can.

Unlike metals which have similar properties in all directions (isotropic), the properties of composites are varying, dependent on the orientation of the fibers in each layer. This particular carbon fiber fabric tube has an internal diameter (ID) of 0.25" and an outer diameter (OD) of 0.378". The outer ply of material on this tube is a 2x2 twill weave (diagonal appearance seen below) which will prevent fiber breakout better than unidirectional material. Thus, fabric tubes provide an ideal surface for machining. The core of this tube is almost always comprised of multi-directional "uni" plies which makes most carbon fiber fabric & unidirectional tubes ideal for bending and compression applications.

Key Features

• Exceptionally rigid
• High dimensional stability and UV resistant
• High Corrosion Resistance
