Frequently Asked Questions

Braided Carbon Fiber Round Tubing ~ 2.375" ID x 48"

What are the key specifications of the 2.375" ID x 48" braided carbon fiber round tubing?

This tubing has an inner diameter (ID) of 2.375 inches and a length of 48 inches. It is constructed using braided carbon fiber, which provides a balance of strength, stiffness, and lightweight properties. For additional details such as wall thickness and weight, refer to the technical documentation or contact DragonPlate directly.

What are the main benefits of using braided carbon fiber round tubing in this size?

Braided carbon fiber tubing offers an optimal strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for applications where both high performance and minimal weight are required. It is highly resistant to corrosion, temperature extremes, and UV exposure, ensuring durability in demanding environments. The braided construction also provides enhanced torsional strength compared to some other layup methods.

What typical applications are suitable for the 2.375" ID x 48" braided carbon fiber round tubing?

This tubing size is commonly used in robotics, aerospace, industrial automation, and custom structural projects where lightweight and high-strength materials are essential. Its large diameter and length make it suitable for load-bearing arms, frames, and support structures in advanced engineering applications.

Can this tubing be customized or cut to specific lengths?

Yes, DragonPlate offers CNC cutting and custom fabrication services for carbon fiber tubing, including the 2.375" ID x 48" size. Customers can request custom lengths, specialized laminate schedules, or additional machining to meet their project requirements. Learn more about custom fabrication.

This round tubing is comprised of Carbon Fiber Braid and Unidirectional Fabrics. This product is ideal for building light weight frames and structures. Our Carbon Fiber round tubing has been engineered to be much stronger under torsional and side loading than pultruded tubing. Our tubing is also significantly lighter than pultruded tubing. Our carbon fiber round tube has been designed so that the unidirectional layers are captured in a sandwich structure, eliminating longitudinal cracking and splitting. Two options for finish on this tube are available. Natural, where the finish shows the texture of the carbon fiber braid with a wet shiny appearance and gloss, which has a flatter, more uniform glossy surface. Dimensions are taken from the inside.
