Hello,

I'm looking to run a finite element analysis to determine which of your standard tubes would be most suitable for use as wishbones. Would it be possible to get information on the lay-up of your standard tubes? Particularly the 14mm ID and 18mm ID tubes.

Also I'm a bit unfamiliar with the roll wrapping process and was wondering if the process electrically insulates the tube on the inside in any way so as to avoid corrosion as it shall be in contact with aluminium.

Lastly I was hoping to find out if you offer a tube cutting service before sending the tubes out for delivery as I would not be confident in our ability to cut the tubes in our workshop here.

Thanks,

Stuart

Thanks. Great explanations!w00t

Im clear for the T700 as it is from Toray. However, may I know the supplier for the 300gsm E-Glass ~UD (80/20) since the link given is only for E-Glass fibres. I will need the data sheet for Pre-preg E-Glass UD (80/20) for my simulation.


Cheers!

Hi Roxane,

I can't provide a datasheet for the pre-preg glass but I've provided the mechanical properties for the glass fibres and you know that they are 80% warp, 20% weft and you even know the thickness of the layer and the density of the glass fibres so you should be able to derive anything you need for your simulation from this.

Best regards, Matt
