Ultra-Formable 260 Brass Hex Tubes
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Not Rated
- Temper: H02 (1/2 Hard) to H03 (3/4 Hard)
- Heat Treatable: No
- Specifications Met: ASTM B135
The most formable brass we offer, 260 offers better weldability than 300 series brass but it’s not as machinable. Sometimes called cartridge brass, it's commonly used for ammunition casings, radiator components, and decorative door hardware.

Telescoping Ultra-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Hexagonal Tubes
- Color: Black
- Temperature Range: -65° F to 180° F
- Tensile Strength: 120,000-175,000 psi (Excellent)
- Fiber Tensile Stiffness: Standard (33-36 msi)
- Impact Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Not Rated
- For Use Outdoors: No
These tubes are stiff and have tensile strength comparable to aluminum—but are still lightweight—and can be placed inside one another to create an adjustable-length tube that resists twisting. Because they have flat sides, they’re easier to mount than round tubes. Use them to support moving equipment such as cameras and sensors. Built with a 0°/90° construction layup, they’re crush resistant and good for transferring torque. These tubes have a checked, glossy exterior, the standard for carbon fiber. They can be given a clear coat or sanded down for a matte finish. All tubes are roll wrapped.
For secure telescoping, choose a tube one size larger than the tube you’ll put inside it.
