Carbon Fibre solid black tube measuring 1000 mm x 6.0mm OD x 4.00 ID

This material is pultruded product and has uniform composition (unidirectional reinforcement) throughout.

Such tubes do not exhibit the characteristic weave pattern of sheet materials.

Some attributes of this material include,

• high strength to weight ratio
• non corrosive
• impact resistence
• coefficient of expansion is low
• when cutting this hollow material.

Working with this material.

• Use only very fine tooth hand saws of thin fine files for cutting and shaping this material to length.
• Avoid fast cutting dust producing shaping methods.
• Exercise care with handling cut pieces to avoid splinters by using gloves.
• Do not use excessive clamping pressure when holding in a vice. Although the material is exceptionally strong longitudinally, crushing pressure exerted by a vice can cause deformation. Additionally to maintain surface integrity use only soft jaws when holding in any vice or clamp.
