3K Roll-wrapped Carbon Fibre Tube (Hollow) 16mm(OD) * 14mm(ID) * 1000mm(L)

3K Roll-wrapped Carbon Fibre Tube (Hollow) 16mm(OD) * 14mm(ID) * 1000mm(L)

Carbon fibre tube can be used to replace aluminium or steel tubes in a wide range of projects. The Carbon fibre tube of the same weight as an aluminium or steel tube can be much stronger and lighter. This 16mm roll wrapped carbon fibre tube is manufactured predominantly using high modulus (T700) unidirectional prepreg carbon fibre oriented to provide maximum strength in the lateral axis.

Roll wrapped carbon fibre tubes offer superior strength in general use to ‘pultruded’ tubes (which have all their fibres running in exactly the same direction.

The use of unidirectional fibres and maximum strength in the lateral axis does mean that the tube is not strong across its diameter as it is along its length so should be used in such a way as to avoid unnecessary crushing forces across the tube.

Roll Wrapping:

The phrase ‘roll wrapped’ refers to the process used to manufacture these tubes. The prepreg carbon fibre is first laid up around a mandrel in multiple layers. Once the reinforcement is in place it is spiral-wrapped with heat-shrink tape before the whole assembly is oven cured.

Features:

1. Made of Carbon Fiber material
2. High Strength
3. Stable dimension and UV resistant
4. High Corrosion  Resistance
5. Electrical & Thermal Non-Conductivity

3K Roll-wrapped Carbon Fibre Tube (Hollow) 16mm(OD) * Overview

The 3K roll-wrapped carbon fibre tube is a 1 m long hollow cylinder with 16 mm outer diameter and 14 mm inner diameter, crafted from high modulus T700 unidirectional prepreg fibres. It delivers outstanding strength-to-weight performance, making it ideal for replacing aluminium or steel in lightweight structural applications.

• Kite spars or sports equipment reinforcement

How to Use 3K Roll-wrapped Carbon Fibre Tube (Hollow) 16mm(OD) *

Measure and mark the desired length, then cut with a fine-tooth saw or rotary tool equipped with a carbon-cutting blade, clamping the tube firmly to prevent splintering. Deburr both ends with fine-grit sandpaper before inserting into compatible connectors or bonding with epoxy. Align carefully to maintain axial strength and avoid transverse loading beyond its design limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I cut the tube without fraying?

Secure the tube in a vise or clamp and score lightly with a fine-tooth saw or Dremel cutting wheel. Complete the cut in a steady motion, then smooth edges with 240–400 grit sandpaper to remove any splinters.

Can this tube be used outdoors?

Yes. The roll-wrapped carbon fibre is UV resistant, corrosion resistant and non-toxic, making it suitable for outdoor structures exposed to sun, rain and varying temperatures.

What connectors fit the 14 mm inner diameter?

You can use 14 mm ID aluminium or carbon fibre tube connectors, epoxy-sleeve joints or custom 3D-printed adapters designed for a 14 mm bore. Secure with epoxy or stainless-steel set screws rated for composite materials.
