CARBON FABRICS

This table summarizes the properties of some of the QuakeWrap® carbon fabrics; other products are available or can be developed to meet the specific project requirements.†

Maximum Load per Inch Width §	4,100 lbs.	2,250 lbs.
Tensile Strength, ASTM-D3039	102.7 ksi	45.1 ksi
Modulus of Elasticity, ASTM-D3039	9,950 ksi	6,440 ksi
Elongation at Failure	1.1%	1.0%

Notes:
† The above results were obtained based on samples produced with two plies of fabric and under ideal laboratory conditions from a single lot. The average resin content of samples measured in accordance with ASTM-D2584 varied from 55% to 60% by weight. Due to variation in material properties from different lots, it is recommended that a strength reduction factor of 20% be applied to the above values.
‡ Unidirectional fabrics have negligible strength and stiffness in the transverse direction.
§ Values are reported for a single ply of fabric. Narrower width fabrics are available by special order.
