High Pressure Resistance Large Diameter Carbon Fiber Tube Manufacturer
 

A composite tube is manufactured from two or more constituent materials. Individually, these materials have significantly distinctive properties. These properties could be either physical or chemical, and when these materials have been combined by the Composite Tubes manufacturer, the result is a composite material with characteristics unconventional to that of either of the individual components. The preference for composites comes down to several reasons. It could be their lower cost, higher strength, or even their lighter weight. One of the most primary applications for a Composite Tube is its use in structural purposes for buildings, bridges, and construction.

Carbon fiber tubes are ideal for both hobbyists and industry professionals. Using the rigidity of the carbon fibers, an extremely stiff yet lightweight tubular structure can be used in a wide range of applications.

Carbon fiber tubes can replace steel, but more often than not, it is replacing aluminum. In many instances, a carbon fiber tube can weigh 1/3rd of an aluminum tube and still have the same or better strength characteristics. Because of this, carbon fiber reinforced tubes are often found in applications lightweight is crucial, like aerospace, race cars, and recreational sports.

Carbon Fiber Tube Applications

Any application where weight is crucial, switching to carbon fiber will be beneficial. The following are some of the most common uses of carbon fiber tubes:

• Aerospace beams and spars
• Formula 1 structural components
• Arrow shafts
• Bicycle tubes
• Kayak paddles

Manufacturing Carbon Fiber Tubes

LIJIN composite structures can be difficult to manufacture. This is because pressure needs to be applied to both in internal and the external side of the laminate. More often than not, carbon fiber tubes with a continuous profile are manufactured by either pultrusion or filament winding.

Pultruded tubes are by far the most cost-effective method of manufacturing continuous composite profiles. When pultruding a hollow tube, a "floating mandrel" is required. A chromed steel rod is firmly affixed in place on the side of the die where the raw material enters. The mounting hardware is far enough away that does not interfere with the impregnated fiber as it enters the die.

The space between the mandrel and the die will determine the wall thickness of the carbon fiber tube.

Pultruding carbon fiber tubes allow for the production of tubing of virtually any length. Transportation of the tube is generally the restriction on length. In pultrusion, most of the fiber will run the direction of the tube. This creates a tube with a tremendous about of stiffness, but not much hoop strength, or cross-directional strength.
