These tubes are structural components made from carbon fiber braid and unidirectional fabrics, manufactured with flame retardant epoxy resins. They are designed to resist the spread of fire and are suitable for lightweight frames and structures, such as trusses, especially in aviation and marine applications. Note: Flame retardancy depends on both resin and geometry; customers must verify suitability for their application.
Available sizes and prices (all lengths are 96"):
Please allow 10-15 days before this product ships. Note: Lead times may vary for custom orders or large quantities.
Technical resources include a specification sheet and downloadable CAD models for all braided carbon fiber square/rectangular tubes. Additional technical guides and CAD models are available on the DragonPlate CAD Models page. Note: For advanced engineering support, contact DragonPlate directly.
These tubes are manufactured using flame retardant epoxy resins and are engineered to be stronger under torsional and side loading than pultruded tubing, while also being significantly lighter. The unidirectional layers are captured in a sandwich structure to eliminate longitudinal cracking and splitting. Note: Standard pultruded tubes may be more cost-effective for non-flame-retardant applications.
The flame retardant carbon fiber veneer used in these tubes is tested and certified to pass the FAR 25.853(a) Appendix F vertical burn specification. However, flame retardancy for the finished tube depends on resin, geometry, and assembly; customers must verify compliance for their specific application. For higher flame retardancy, custom tubes can be made with prepreg materials to meet both FAR 25.853 and smoke/toxicity requirements. Note: Standard tubes are not guaranteed to pass all application-specific tests.
Yes, DragonPlate offers custom thicknesses, sizes, and finishes for flame retardant braided carbon fiber square/rectangular tubes. Contact the engineering team to discuss your project requirements. Note: Custom orders may have longer lead times and minimum order quantities.
The tubes display the texture of the carbon fiber braid with a wet, shiny appearance. Note: Surface finish may vary slightly between production runs.
Yes, the flame retardant properties and lightweight strength make these tubes suitable for aviation and marine applications. However, customers must verify that the tubes meet all specific regulatory and performance requirements for their intended use. Note: Not all applications will be covered by standard certifications; additional testing may be required.
DragonPlate manufactures its products under ISO 9001:2015 quality standards at its facility in Elbridge, New York. This ensures consistent quality and reliability. Note: ISO 9001:2015 certification covers manufacturing processes, not product-specific regulatory compliance.
DragonPlate has completed a CMMC Level 1 self-assessment (submitted to SPRS) and a NIST SP 800-171 self-assessment to meet DFARS 252.204-7012 requirements. The company is actively advancing its cybersecurity program to meet CMMC Level 2. For details, contact service@dragonplate.com or call 315-252-2559. Note: These certifications relate to information security, not product flame retardancy.
You can contact DragonPlate's engineering team for technical support or to discuss custom requirements by visiting the Contact Us page, emailing service@dragonplate.com, or calling 315-252-2559 (Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5:00pm ET). Note: Response times may vary during peak periods.
Customers are responsible for verifying that the selected carbon fiber materials meet the flame retardancy requirements for their specific application. If additional flame retardancy is required, many shapes can be made with flame retardant carbon fiber prepreg materials, which can be manufactured to meet FAR 25.853 vertical burn testing and smoke/toxicity requirements. Contact engineering for guidance. Note: Standard products are not guaranteed to pass all application-specific tests.
These tubes are commonly used for building lightweight frames and structures, such as trusses, in aviation and marine environments where flame retardancy and high strength-to-weight ratios are required. Note: For applications requiring guaranteed compliance with specific flame retardancy standards, custom solutions may be necessary.
This square/Rectangular tubing is comprised of Carbon Fiber Braid and Unidirectional Fabrics. Tubing is manufactured using flame retardant epoxy resins that resist the spread of fire, making them ideal for aviation and marine applications. This product is great for building light weight frames and structures such as trusses. Our Carbon Fiber square/rectangular 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. Tube finish shows the texture of the carbon fiber braid with a wet shiny appearance.
Dimensions are taken from the inside.
Dragonplate flame retardant structural carbon fiber materials are manufactured with the same flame retardant epoxy resin system used to create our flame retardant carbon fiber veneers. The carbon fiber veneer is tested and certified to pass the FAR 25.853(a) Appendix F vertical burn specification. Since flame retardancy is dependent upon both the resin system, as well as the geometry, orientation, and integration of the components into the overall assembly, we cannot guarantee any particular standard flame retardant structural component will meet and pass the specific burn testing necessary for your application. It is the responsibility of the customer to verify that these carbon fiber materials will meet the requirements for any specific application. If additional flame retardancy is required, many shapes can also be made with flame retardant carbon fiber prepreg materials, which have a higher degree of flame retardancy than our standard Dragonplate flame retardant products, and can be manufactured to meet both FAR 25.853 vertical burn testing, as well as smoke and toxicity requirements. Call us any time to discuss your project with engineering.
