Overview: The document provides detailed specifications for Eurocarbon's tubular carbon
fiber braids, categorized by fiber density into light, medium, and heavy weight braids. The fiber densities used are 3K, 6K, and 12K, corresponding to light, medium, and heavy braids respectively.
Light Weight Braids (3K Fibers): These braids are characterized by their lower weight and higher yield per kilogram. Key specifications include diameters ranging from 5 mm to 40 mm, weights per meter from 7 g/m to 41 g/m, and fabric weights from 275 g/m² to 400 g/m². The thickness at 50% fiber volume (FV) varies from 0.31 mm to 0.46 mm.
Middle Weight Braids (6K Fibers): These braids offer a balance between weight and strength. Diameters range from 10 mm to 125 mm, with weights per meter from 13 g/m to 159 g/m. Fabric weights range from 340 g/m² to 500 g/m², and thickness at 50% FV ranges from 0.39 mm to 0.57 mm.
Heavy Weight Braids (12K Fibers): Designed for applications requiring higher strength, these braids have diameters from 20 mm to 150 mm, weights per meter from 41 g/m to 331 g/m, and fabric weights from 510 g/m² to 700 g/m². The thickness at 50% FV ranges from 0.58 mm to 0.80 mm.
Key Parameters: The document highlights critical parameters such as diameter, weight per meter, fabric weight, thickness at 50% FV, and yield per kilogram, which are essential for selecting the appropriate braid for specific applications.
