Description

Carbon Fiber Tube
Size
Inner Diameter x Outer Diameter x Length
Listed in inches
To convert inches into mm, multiply inches by 25.4
Strength & Weight
Carbon Fiber is about 1.4 times stiffer than aluminum and weighs 1/3 less
Fabric
Looks dark black, has a woven exterior (traditional Carbon Fiber look) and is glossy – texture has cello lines (textured ribbing)
Sanded version retains the woven exterior, looks grey in color, matte and is paint / bond ready – texture is smooth
Comprised of various angle plies throughout the layup with the outer (and sometimes inner ply) being a woven carbon fiber fabric either plain weave (checkerboard pattern) or twill (diagonal bias pattern)
IN GENERAL tubes listed as "Fabric" are comprised of ~65% (0) degree unidirectional plies = Good bending stiffness & ~25% (90) or (+45/-45) degree Multi-directional plies = Good torque resistance & crushing strength & ~10% (0/90) weave for the outermost layer = Good looks and provides good strength guarding against damage
Uni
Looks solid dark black and is glossy – texture has cello lines (textured ribbing)
Sanded version looks solid grey in color, matte and is paint / bond ready – texture is smooth
Also comprised of various angle plies throughout the layup with the outer ply being a unidirectional layer of Carbon Fiber
IN GENERAL tubes listed as "Uni" are comprised of ~70% (0) degree unidirectional plies = Good bending stiffness & ~30% (90) or (+45/-45) degree Multi-directional plies = Good torque resistance & crushing strength
Filament Wound
Looks vary quite a bit though generally these tubes have a “delta” “large thread weave” pattern to them, glossy – texture has cello lines (textured ribbing)
Sanded version looks grey in color, sometimes takes on a “camo” type look, matte and is paint / bond ready – texture is smooth
Comprised of purely angled plies of carbon fiber – Fiber angles vary from ~15 to ~80 degrees
