Carbon fiber sheet thickness calculator

Sierra Composites regularily gets questions regarding carbon fiber sheet laminate thickness in metric measurements. We do have unit conversion charts with other sheet data such as weight on every product item in our online store. However to make it even more simple to convert from inches to millimeters or even centimeters, we have built a javascript unit converter so you can easily covert whatever you need to. Once you know what thickness carbon fiber sheet laminate you need, click over to our online store at www.sierracomposites.com to purchase. [inline] [/inline]

Basalt fiber double sided sheet

Our new double sided Basalt fiber sheet is similar to our regular Basalt sheet in that it far surpasses fiberglass G-10 garolite sheets. Again G-10 garolite has a tensile strength of 40,000 psi whereas our Basalt fiber sheet has 70,000 psi. We are currently offering a limited number of these for our customers to try out. Remember Sierra Composites is the only North American manufacturer of basalt fiber sheets. Our double sided sheets have an excellent surface ready for paint. An 10.5″x7.5″ sheet at .047″ (1.2mm)  only weighs 4oz (106g). Price is $22.95. You can purchase these right here from our online store.

Property	Unit	Basalt	E-Glass	S-Glass
Tensile Strength	MPa	484	345	471
Elastic modulus	GPa	89	77	89
Elongation at Break	%	3.15	4.7	5.6

 

Carbon fiber custom dash

Sierra Composites has supplied customers carbon fiber sheet to build custom dash gauge and switch panels for the custom street cars as well as race cars. We are regularily asked what thickness of carbon fiber sheet should I use to build my custom dash with.  There are really only two choices depending on what you are building. The first option is our .041" carbon sheet thickness, this is a perfect thickness for a small panel with a switch and a lightweight gauge or two that has some basic mounting support such as in a street car console area would have. But for a complete custom dash with regular gauges you would need to use our .059" carbon fiber sheet. This material can use a larger span between the mounting and support and is overall stronger to handle full size gauges. The .059" sheet is what our race car customers regularily use when building their dash gauge cluster.  You could also use our Basalt fiber / Carbon fiber hybrids as a lower cost alternative.

Basalt fiber sheets for R/C use

 Sierra Composites has just released the first size of our Basalt fiber sheets specifically designed for R/C use. Basalt fiber composites have mechanical properties close and in some cases greater than carbon fiber sheets, the greatest difference is that they are very inexpensive. Basalt fiber sheets are also a great improvement over the typical fiberglass G-10 sheets. Fiberglass G-10 sheets are designed for printed electronic circuit boards not R/C applications and therefore have all the low grade qualities of e-glass fiberglass, the lowest of all composite fibers. Compare a typical G-10 garolite tensile strength of 40,000 psi to a basalt 9 micron fiber tensile strength of 70,000 psi. If you plan on using G-10 garolite for a structural application you can see how much more strength you could have by using a basalt sheet instead. Remember Sierra Composites is the only North American manufacturer of basalt fiber sheets. Our sheets have an excellent surface ready for paint and a slight texture back for bonding. An 11″x8″ sheet at .022″ only weighs 1.9oz (53g) and the cost is only $11.95.  Check these sheets out on our e-store right here.
