Carbon Fibre Tubes - Everything You Need to Know

Product Links ► Further information ▼ In this composites tutorial we take a deep dive into the world of carbon fibre tubes, discussing the different types, their construction, advantages and disadvantages. We compare carbon fibre tubes to each other, and also benchmark them against stainless steel and aluminium to see how carbon fibre tubes perform and compare in a range of tensile, compressive, torsional and 3-point bend tests.
