Material: glass fiber tube is a composite material tube composed of glass fiber and resin substrate. Glass fiber is an inorganic fiber composed of silicate, with good corrosion resistance and insulation. Epoxy resin and unsaturated polyester resin are usually used as resin base materials. Carbon fiber tube is composed of carbon fiber and resin substrate. Carbon fiber is a kind of organic fiber made of protoplasm graphite fiber or polypropylene fiber through high-temperature carbonization, with high strength and stiffness.
Characteristics: Glass fiber tube has good corrosion resistance, and has little corrosion to acid, alkali and other chemicals. It also has good insulation performance and can effectively prevent leakage of current and voltage. However, the strength and rigidity of glass fiber tube are low, and it is easy to bend and deform. Carbon fiber tube With high strength and rigidity, it is relatively more durable and suitable for the occasions under greater pressure and load. In addition, the carbon fiber tube also has good flame retardancy, and is not easy to burn when encountering high temperature, which is conducive to safe use.
Application field: Due to its good corrosion resistance and insulation performance, fiberglass pipes are commonly used in pipeline systems in chemical, petroleum, power and other fields. It can be used to transport acid-base liquids, oil and gas and other media, and has good wear resistance and aging resistance in industrial equipment. Carbon fiber tube is widely used in aerospace, automobile, sports equipment and other fields due to its excellent strength and stiffness. It can be used to manufacture structural parts such as aircraft and car body, and sports equipment such as golf clubs and tennis rackets. In addition, carbon fiber tubes can also be used in the construction field, such as making bridges, stairs, etc.
Cost: The production cost of glass fiber tube is low, the material cost is relatively low, and the production process is relatively simple. The production cost of carbon fiber tube is relatively high, the price of carbon fiber raw materials is high, the production process is complex, and the production is difficult.
