ZTE CARBON Tubing

ZTE CARBONTM High Modulus tubes are specifically designed for extremely low CTE.  Our precision processing and high stiffness materials makes them a good choice as affordable tubes for dimensionally stable structures such as optical benches, precision robotics and other similar structures.

Our tubes are specifically engineered to have essentially no residual distortion (hysterisis) in elongation, bend or twist after exposure to high or low temperatures in applications where such properties are required. 

We offer two tube products to choose from:  -P engineered to have a slightly positive CTE, and -N engineered to have a slightly negative CTE.  Print PDF.

TYPICAL VALUES                      -P                              -N            

Elongation   (ppm/F)                   0.04                          -0.05

Twist   (Arcsec/ft./F)               +/-0.10                       +/-0.15

Bend   (Arcsec/ft./F)               +/-0.08                       +/-0.08

Modulus   (MSI)                         21                               21

Note:  These CTE values listed are on average 20X lower than typical carbon laminates!
