Carbon-fiber airframe tubes
A replacement arm can match the outside diameter and still fail to seat correctly in the existing clamp. Wall construction and cut-end quality belong in the purchasing specification.
What to specify
Use these fields to describe your requirement. Values are supplied by the buyer or the responsible integrator; this reference does not list an in-stock SKU or a universally compatible replacement.
| Requirement | Information to include |
|---|---|
| Outside/inside diameter | Nominal sizes and tolerances, with units |
| Length | Finished cut length and end treatment |
| Construction | Required laminate or supplier construction reference |
| Interface | Clamp length, holes and cable access |
| Mass | Target and permitted variation |
| Revision | Platform and approved drawing version |
Sample and acceptance review
Request dimensional inspection against the drawing, photographs of both cut ends, and a sample fitted in the actual clamp before batch approval.
A common purchasing mistake
Do not treat a tube described only as carbon fiber as an equivalent structural replacement.

Reviewing a proposed material substitution
Two quotations can share a part name while using different materials, finishes or composite constructions. Price comparison should start by exposing those differences.
