    • ~0.005 reduction on outer diameter (OD)."
    • This removes the outer cello wrap gloss finish.
    • Sand outer diameter to specified thickness.
    • Patterns will likely distort in appearance
    Please select a value within the allowed range.
    Sanding Tolerance Options:
    Please select a tolerance option.

If you are requesting bulk discounts, cutting, or standard sanding services only, we will send you a cart with your product selections. You may enter your shipping information and purchase directly at that time. Please note, the cart will not allow edits to the quote. Any changes will have to be completed by our team. If we do not have enough information to complete your quote we will reach out to you directly. If you are requesting additional services or custom sanding, a team member will reach out to you to finalize a quote.

If you request a custom length you will be charged for a full length item (or items if more than 1 is needed to meet your request) plus a cutting fee. You will then be shipped the item sized to your specification and any remaining length of the orginal item (drops). Sanding also incurs a fee which will be included in the quote. All items that have been sanded or cut may not be returned.

Estimated lead time for quantities greater than what is Available Now is expected to be between 2 and 4 weeks.

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. 

Features & Benefits

Roll wrapped tubing is manufactured using multiple layers of prepreg carbon fiber (and if noted, other) materials. In general each layer is about 0.006 inches thick which means that a tube with a wall thickness of 0.060 inches will typically be composed of 9-10 individual layers of carbon fiber. The number of layers (plys) allows us to vary the orientation of the fibers throughout the thickness, creating a high performance, engineered product.

*Please note, the diagram below shows an outer "0/90" ply however the product you are currently viewing does NOT have this outer twill ply.

*This diagram illustrates a "generic" layup. The SKU being viewed may not have the layup schedule shown in this diagram. To view this SKU's particular layup please check out the "LAYUP ORIENTATION" tab.

Technical Data

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.

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: CTE values listed here are on average 20x lower than typical carbon fiber laminates!

  • 0° Fibers maximize bending stiffness. Consider bending the tube over your knee.
  • 45° Fibers maximize torsional stiffness. Typically plied together in an opposing manner, i.e. ±45°. Consider twisting the tube like a vehicle's driveshaft.
  • 90° Fibers maximize crushing stiffness and generally assist in overall tube strength. Consider laying the tube on the ground and stepping on it.
