Carbon Fibre Straight Pipes Layered With Epoxy Resin And Varnished Outer Finish

Product Specification

Carbon Fibre Straight Pipes - Layered with quality epoxy resin and varnished outer finish

Carbon Fibre Pipes are advanced composite materials known for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making them highly sought after in various industries. These tubes are manufactured using carbon fiber Piping reinforcement, which is composed of extremely thin strands of carbon atoms aligned in a crystal lattice pattern. This alignment provides the material with its remarkable strength and stiffness. Carbon fiber has a distinctive woven texture and high-tech appearance.

We are a professional chinese manufacturer of carbon fiber and also carbon fiber products for more than 10 years!

we produce all types of carbon fiber tubes, panels, bars, rods, CNC sheets, etc. Excellent properties include: corrosion resistance lightness good toughness If you want to order our products, please include ID, OD, length, dimensional tolerances, quantity, structural requirements, surface finish, surface pattern, material (if you know), temperature requirements, processing technology, etc. With these items as the starting point, we can usually very quickly put together a quotation to help you get your project from idea to reality.

How are Carbon Fibre Pipes made?

Carbon fibre pipes are typically manufactured using a process called filament winding. Here are the detailed steps involved:

Preparing the mandrel: A mandrel, which is a cylindrical tool, is prepared with the required dimensions and shape for the carbon fibre pipe. It is made of materials such as aluminum, steel, or plastic and is usually coated with a release agent to prevent the pipe from sticking to it.

Preparing the carbon fiber: The carbon fibre is typically in the form of a woven fabric or unidirectional tow. The fibers are impregnated with a resin, usually epoxy, which is mixed with a hardener to form a tough, durable composite material.

Filament winding: The impregnated carbon fibre is wound around the mandrel in a specific pattern using a filament winding machine. The machine rotates the mandrel while a filament winding head guides the carbon fibre onto the mandrel. The winding pattern is chosen based on the required properties of the finished pipe, such as strength, stiffness, and durability.

Curing: Once the desired number of layers of carbon fibre has been wound onto the mandrel, the pipe is heated to cure the resin. The curing process is typically done in an oven or autoclave, depending on the specific resin used. The heat and pressure applied during the curing process help to bond the fibres and resin together, creating a strong, durable composite material.

Finishing: Once the curing process is complete, the carbon fibre pipe is removed from the mandrel. It may then undergo additional finishing processes such as sanding or polishing to achieve the desired surface finish. The ends of the pipe may also be trimmed or machined to the required dimensions.

Quality control: The finished carbon fibre pipe is inspected for defects and undergoes testing to ensure it meets the required specifications for strength, stiffness, and durability.

Overall, carbon fibre pipes are made using a precise and controlled manufacturing process to ensure high-quality, consistent performance.
