Carbon Fiber Tube: Premium Strength, Lightweight & Custom Shapes for Global Industrial Applications

In industrial production, aerospace, vehicle modification, medical equipment and high-end sports industries, typical metal tubes (aluminium, steel, stainless steel) are now being replaced by carbon fibre tubes. The carbon fibre Composite Tube has remarkable lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistant and dimensionally stable properties, making it the material of choice for demanding, high precision structural applications around the globe. FMS Carbon is an expert in R&D, manufacturing and delivery of standard and bespoke carbon fibre tubes that address the main challenges of global consumers in material choice such as high weight, easy corrosion, poor durability and single shape.
Advantages of Carbon Fibre Tubes Compared to Metal Tubes
In the international market, most clients favour carbon fibre tubes, not only because it is a trend, but also because its practical performance is too suitable for industrial and commercial application situations. The carbon fibre tubes feature 6 essential, irreplaceable benefits compared to steel, aluminium and plastic tubes, which may substantially lower project costs and increase product service life:
1. High strength/weight ratio, important weight saving;
Carbon fibre tubes weigh just 1/5 the weight of steel and 1/2 that of aluminium alloy but have a tensile strength 6-10 times that of ordinary steel. It has light weight and high strength, may minimise the weight of whole equipment and completed product 20%~30%. It greatly increases the scope of mobile equipment and reduces fuel and power consumption and is the main advantage sought by automobile, aircraft and robotic industries.
2. Better Corrosion and Chemical Resistance
Carbon fibre composite tubes are chemically stable, compared to metal tubes that are prone to rust, oxidation and chemical erosion. Resistant to seawater, caustics and alkaline solutions, industrial oil and to humid air. no anti rust coating occasional maintenance needed They are very ideal for severe working environment such as maritime, outdoor engineering, chemical equipment etc., and considerably cut the future maintenance expenses.
3. Small expansion coefficient and excellent dimension stability
The carbon fibre tube has a very low co-efficient of thermal expansion and therefore will not bend or warp with temperature fluctuations.  It has strong structural stability in high and low temperature environments, and completely meets the high precision assembly requirements of medical devices, precise instruments and aerospace equipments.
4. Anti-Fatigue & Long Life Span
Metal tubes are prone to fatigue cracking and ageing damage under long term cyclic stresses and vibrations. Carbon fibre tubes provide superior fatigue resistance. They may have good structural performance after long-time use. Its service life is significantly longer than the typical metal materials, so that the frequency of the parts replacement is reduced for the consumers.
5. Anti-magnetic and insulating property 
The carbon fibre tube has good electrical insulation and anti-magnetic interference performance, no magnetic conductivity, will not interfere with the normal operation of precision electronic components. They are frequently used in electrical equipment, testing devices and communication equipment.
6. Greatly adaptable in design & variety of shapes
Typical pipes can only be made in a single shape, whereas carbon fibre tubes are versatile to fit a variety of shapes and match the structural design requirements for numerous applications. This is also one of the main service benefits provided by FMS Carbon.

Practical issues encountered by customers employing carbon fibre tubes
Based on our experience of the business of global trade services for all these years, we have summarised and answered the challenges that the world clients typically experienced when utilising the carbon fibre tubes as follow:Problem 1: The metal tubes are hefty and impede the effectiveness of the gadget operation.
Instead they were replaced with carbon fibre tubes from FMS. This solution was much lighter, but also provided strength, boosting the mobility of equipment and efficiency of jobs.Problem 2: Traditional pipes are prone to rust and corrosion, high maintenance cost
Our carbon fibre tubes are maintenance free, anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation, appropriate for all the harsh environments, saving the long term maintenance expenditures.
- Problem 3: Unique structure design cannot be fulfilled by single tube shape Complete moulds for round, square, rectangular and octagonal tubes, diversified shape matching and customised customising to fit various structural designs
Problem 4: Slow customising process and delayed delivery impacted project progress
Solution: We have huge stock of traditional tubes and developed mould production technology, which ensure on time delivery to decrease project cycle and grasp market opportunities for clients.Problem 5: Hard to build since wall is not flat and tube is not straight
Solution: Using advanced composite moulding technology and strict dimensional verification before delivery. To ensure each tube is high accuracy and good assembly compatibility.
