Hi

I need to replace a steel tube 1500mm long (25mm OD - not sure yet what ID is) with one that is made from your roll wrapped tube range. The Tube is supported at either end and is loaded along its length. No Torsional forces are acting on the tube.

 My question is: can I simply replace with a CF tube that is approximately 25mm OD? Will this new CF tube be over or under engineered.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Russell
