Looking for carbon graphite tube

Looking for carbon graphite tube

Looking for carbon graphite tube

(OP)
I have a project where I need carbon graphite tubes from 10mm to 80mm diameters, as rigid as possible (minimum 3mm tickness).
Where can I find a supplier ? Preferably in the usa, but anywhere else is welcome too.
(Circle sections, but why not other shapes such as square or triangle).
Thanks !

RE: Looking for carbon graphite tube

Right
there are quite a few suppliers of carbon fiber/epoxy and carbon fiber/Vinylester rods and tubes.
Try...

http://www.cssales.com

or

http://www.voltaircube.com

or you can try a Google search, Keyword  "Micro Carbon Rods"

RE: Looking for carbon graphite tube

What length do you want and how many?  Contact www.AmericanMatrixCorp.com.  They can make all the diameters and wall thickness you are looking for.  They can also make varible wall thickness.

Thank you for your help.

Quantity : 500bars of 10ft, but may be more.
I am actually interested in a company with a range of existing products (circle, square... sections). We use aluminum right now, but it's too heavy.
