Frequently Asked Questions

DragonPlate Carbon Tube ~ .394"OD x .288"ID x 24" — Product Details & Usage

What are the exact dimensions of the DragonPlate Carbon Tube ~ .394"OD x .288"ID x 24"?

This tube has an outside diameter (OD) of 0.394 inches, an inside diameter (ID) of 0.288 inches, and a length of 24 inches. These precise measurements make it suitable for applications requiring tight tolerances and consistent sizing.

What materials and manufacturing process are used for this carbon tube?

The DragonPlate Carbon Tube is manufactured from high-performance carbon fiber composite materials. DragonPlate uses advanced engineering tools, such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA), to optimize tube design and ensure superior strength-to-weight ratio. All products are produced under ISO 9001:2015 quality standards at the Elbridge, New York facility. See technical specs.

What are the typical applications for the .394"OD x .288"ID x 24" carbon tube?

This tube is ideal for lightweight structural applications where high strength and durability are required, such as robotics, aerospace, industrial automation, and custom engineering projects. Its precise sizing and carbon fiber construction make it suitable for use as a structural element, shaft, or connector in demanding environments.

How does the strength-to-weight ratio of this tube compare to traditional materials?

DragonPlate carbon fiber tubes offer a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to metals like aluminum or steel. This means you achieve high structural performance with significantly less weight, which is critical for applications where minimizing mass is essential. The tube is also highly resistant to corrosion, temperature extremes, and UV exposure.

Are technical resources or CAD models available for this tube?

Yes, DragonPlate provides downloadable CAD models and detailed technical documentation for its carbon fiber tubes. These resources help engineers and designers integrate the tube into their projects efficiently. Download CAD models.

Is this tube manufactured under any quality certifications?

All DragonPlate carbon fiber tubes, including the .394"OD x .288"ID x 24" model, are manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality standards. This ensures consistent quality, reliability, and performance for demanding applications. View ISO certification.

Pultruded in an epoxy resin, DragonPlate Carbon Fiber Tubes and Rods are exceptionally straight and rigid and are an ideal building material for frames, trusses and for use as reinforcing material. Because tube and rod are fundamental building blocks, they find great utility in the building of engineering and high performance structures, and work well in concert with DragonPlate Carbon Fiber Laminate.

 

DragonPlate Carbon Fiber Tubes and Rods are easy to work. They can be cut with a band saw, coping saw, scroll saw, end mill, or dremmel tool. Because DragonPlate Carbon Fiber Tube and Rod are pultruded in an epoxy matrix they will bond readily with Scotch-Weld 2216 epoxy resin.
