GBTECH 8×6×500 mm carbon fiber tube is a round T300 composite member with a 1 mm nominal wall and a matte twill surface appearance. The 500 mm format is a mid-length stock option for prototype members and replacement components. It provides more uninterrupted span than the 250 mm version without the handling length of a one-metre tube.
The 8 mm outside diameter offers a compact circular member with a 6 mm internal opening. It is a useful size to evaluate for model frames and small equipment supports when the connection layout needs more internal room than a 5×3 mm tube.

Choose this length when the assembly needs a member longer than 250 mm but does not require a full metre.
Potential uses to evaluate include model frames, instrument supports, lightweight prototype rails. These are design directions, not certified load-bearing applications.
Match sleeves and connectors to the 8 mm outside diameter.
Check bore tolerance for slide-in fittings.
Use tooling and dust control suitable for carbon-fiber composites. Protect nearby electronics from conductive dust, finish cut edges as required, and validate bonded, clamped or fastened connections before use.
The catalogue lists nominal heat resistance of 150°C. This is not a universal continuous-service temperature: confirm the test method, exposure duration, load and safety margin for the intended duty cycle.
Fiber orientation, resin, unsupported length and joint details determine suitability. Do not infer a certified strength or stiffness value from diameter alone.
Why select 500 mm? The 500 mm format offers a mid-length option. Allow for cutting kerf and finishing if several smaller parts will be made from one piece.
How is wall thickness calculated? (8 − 6) ÷ 2 gives 1 mm nominal wall thickness; actual dimensional tolerances require confirmation.
Also available in the same diameter family:
250 mm length
1000 mm length
