Frequently Asked Questions
Product Information: Roll Wrapped Tapered Carbon Fiber Tubes
What are DragonPlate Roll Wrapped Tapered Carbon Fiber Tubes?
DragonPlate Roll Wrapped Tapered Carbon Fiber Tubes are high-strength, lightweight tubes fabricated from unidirectional carbon fiber. The fiber orientation provides high bending stiffness, axial strength, and hoop strength (resistance to crushing from side loads). These tubes are tapered, meaning one end diameter is greater than the other, and are available in multiple diameters. Note: Only round/tapered shapes are available for this product; custom shapes may require alternative solutions.
What sizes and specifications are available for Roll Wrapped Tapered Carbon Fiber Tubes?
Available sizes include:
- 0.648" ID x 0.340" ID x 36" (Wall thickness: 0.01", Price: $24.95)
- 0.760" ID x 0.415" ID x 36" (Wall thickness: 0.04", Price: $44.95)
- 0.765" ID x 0.415" ID x 36" (Wall thickness: 0.02", Price: $32.95)
All tubes are round/tapered and 36" in length. Note: Only the listed sizes are available; custom dimensions may require contacting DragonPlate for fabrication options.

All prices are quoted and payable in US Dollars. Note: Shipping, handling, and applicable taxes are additional and calculated based on package weight and dimensions. Prices and discounts are subject to change without notice. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
What factors affect the price of DragonPlate carbon fiber tubes?
Prices are determined by product type, size, wall thickness, and additional features such as finishes or face sheet options. Shipping charges are calculated based on package weight and dimensions, with possible surcharges for oversized or overweight packages. Buyers are responsible for all applicable state and local taxes unless valid exemption certificates are provided. Note: Prices and discounts may change without notice due to market conditions and material costs.
Features & Performance
What are the key performance characteristics of DragonPlate Roll Wrapped Tapered Carbon Fiber Tubes?
These tubes offer a high strength-to-weight ratio, providing superior strength while remaining lightweight. The unidirectional carbon fiber layers are engineered for high bending stiffness, axial strength, and hoop strength. DragonPlate products are designed to withstand environmental challenges, ensuring long-term reliability and reduced maintenance costs. Note: For impact-critical applications, consider Kevlar or carbon/Kevlar hybrid products for enhanced toughness; Roll Wrapped Tapered Tubes are optimized for strength and stiffness, not impact resistance.
How does DragonPlate ensure quality and reliability in its carbon fiber tubes?
All DragonPlate products, including Roll Wrapped Tapered Carbon Fiber Tubes, are manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 quality standards at the facility in Elbridge, New York. Advanced engineering tools such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA) are used to optimize designs, reduce material waste, and improve manufacturing efficiency. Note: While ISO certification ensures consistent quality, specific limitations for certain applications may not be publicly documented; contact sales for details.
