[ATM] Carbon Fiber Truss tubes
I've lost the links I had to sites for small diameter wrapped carbon fiber tubes. I
need them for several open truss designs I am working on.
I'd like to find tubes that are 0.500" OD with a wall thickness of 0.030" and at
least 15" long. Or, failing that, something "close enough".
The operative word here is "wrapped" not pultruded.
Wrapped tubes are well suited to the loads that appear in these designs.
Pultruded tubes are overkill. Besides being many times more expensive,
pultrusions are capable of forces far beyond what appear in this application.
Wrapped wil be fine.
Thanks
