When a certain application is requiring for a material that was trusted in its strength, rigidity and light weight reinforcement, nothing can stand in the way of carbon fiber tubes. Almost everywhere we go, we see various applications of this composite material. A great deal of supply of this material was used in different areas and applications due to its stiffer structure. More industries now prefer composites rather than other metals they once trusted like aluminum and steel. Applications of this material varied from the most simple to the most intricate. We have seen the engagement of this in machine rollers used for papers; manufacturing equipments for textile and plastics; to the more complex things like the microphone booms, movie camera, annex poles, covered awnings and even sonar equipment.

But where does the carbon fiber tube get its fantastic strength-to-weight ratio? A tube was made up of many carbon fibers. Each filament thread was made up of a thousand more carbon filaments. This comprises of almost carbon entirely. Added strength of the material was brought about by the microscopic crystal alignment which spun the fibers together. Then, these fibers can be weaved together to form a yarn and in turn makes a fabric out of it. This is rolled over to form a tube which is then ready to use for many applications.
