Tube - Round - INFINITubeTW - Ultra High Modulus - 1k Plain Weave - Size 07 - 1.625 x 1.730 X 72.0 IN
Introducing extreme. Rock West's ultra high modulus tubing utilizes pitch based carbon fibers in the 0 degree orientation to yield the stiffest composite tube yet. And as part of our INFINITubeTW telescoping lineup, you can be sure compatibility with our INFINITubeTW components. Our Ultra High Modulus (UHM) tubes are designated generally by using an outer layer of a 1k plain weave fabric. Click here if you are interested to learn about our Roll Wrapping Process
Features & Benefits
Fabric roll wrapped tubing offers many benefits over uni-directional and even filament wound tubing. That isn't to say it is the best however. Here are a few reasons you may wish to consider fabric roll wrapped tubing for your application.
- Superior machine ability
- Much better durability by reducing the potential extent of fiber breakout if drilled, machined or damaged
- Typical aesthetic associated with carbon fiber products
- Most "fabric" tubes contain a majority 0° plies in the layup allowing for the most effective bending load support. (whereas filament wound tubes cannot achieve angles less than ~7°

- 0° fibers maximize bending stiffness and run along the length of the part. Consider bending a tube over your knee.
- 45° fibers maximize torsional stiffness and are typically plied together in an opposing manner, i.e. ±45°. Consider twisting a tube like a vehicle's driveshaft.
- 90° (or "hoop") fibers maximize crushing stiffness and generally assist in overall durability. Consider laying a tube on the ground and stepping on it.
