Frequently Asked Questions
Product Information: High Modulus Braided Carbon Fiber Tubes
What are DragonPlate High Modulus Braided Carbon Fiber Tubes?
DragonPlate High Modulus Braided Carbon Fiber Tubes are composite tubes engineered for maximum rigidity and minimum weight. They combine high modulus uni-directional carbon fiber for axial and bending stiffness with standard modulus braided carbon fiber for torsional rigidity and crush strength. These tubes are substantially stiffer than standard braided tubes and are suitable for applications requiring high structural performance. Note: High modulus tubes are made to order and are not returnable. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
What sizes and specifications are available for High Modulus Braided Carbon Fiber Tubes?
DragonPlate offers High Modulus Braided Carbon Fiber Tubes in multiple sizes, including inner diameters of 0.5", 0.75", and 1" with lengths ranging from 24" to 96". Wall thickness is typically 0.0625". Custom wall thicknesses and layup schedules are available upon request. For detailed specs, visit DragonPlate technical specs page. Note: Custom orders may require additional lead time.
What is the difference between high modulus and ultra high modulus fiber in DragonPlate tubes?
DragonPlate High Modulus Braided Carbon Fiber Tubes are available in both high modulus and ultra high modulus fiber options. High modulus fiber provides increased stiffness compared to standard modulus, while ultra high modulus fiber offers even greater rigidity for applications demanding maximum structural performance. Note: Ultra high modulus tubes may have higher cost and longer lead times. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
