JP Carbon Fibre Round Tube
Carbon fibre round tube in various different sizes.
- Length: 1m
- Outer Diameter: 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm

Carbon Fibre Round Tube 5.5mm x 3.5mm x 1mt Key Features:
- Extreme Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Engineered for high-performance applications where structural rigidity is critical but weight must be kept to an absolute minimum, such as in aerospace modelling and RC hobbyist builds.
- Precision Pultruded Construction: Features a consistent round profile with parallel fibres, providing exceptional longitudinal stiffness and resistance to bending under high-stress loads.
- Extensive Diameter Selection: Available in a vast range of outer diameters from 2mm to 12mm, with inner diameters ranging from 1mm to 10mm, allowing for precise selection of wall thicknesses and nesting capabilities.
- Standardised 1-Metre Lengths: Supplied in consistent 1m (1000mm) units, offering a professional format for creating long-span wing spars, fuselage supports, and industrial drone frames.
- Advanced Engineering Utility: The definitive choice for modern structural components, including custom pushrods, lightweight tripod legs, and internal bracing for architectural site models.
- Corrosion-Resistant & Stable: Unlike metal alternatives, carbon fibre is impervious to environmental corrosion and maintains its dimensional stability across a wide temperature range.
- Fabrication Tip: Best cut with a high-speed abrasive wheel or a fine-tooth saw while wearing appropriate protection; compatible with high-strength epoxy resins and CA (cyanoacrylate) adhesives for permanent structural bonding.

Questions & Answers
Real questions from real customers. Why not ask your own?
Hi, this may be a silly question, but is your 5.5 mm tube a pultruded variety?
I’m looking for something which will be suitable for framing a lightweight kite and can take some bending but returns to original shape and retains its strength.

Hi yes they are pultruded , heres some more useful info for you:
