Filament-Wound Fiber Glass Rocket and Motor Tubes
Composite motor-case tubing wound to pressure and thrust load. Rocket and motor tubes are pressure vessels. We wind them to the case pressure and thrust load with a fiber angle that carries both hoop and axial stress. We work from the motor drawing and qualification plan, and we document winding, cure and inspection per aerospace or commercial requirement. Yes. Send the case pressure and thrust an

Applications by industry
- Model rocket motor and body tube stock

- Sport rocket casing and airframe structural tubing
- Composite drive shaft and tube stock for prototype builds
- Lightweight high-strength tube for aerospace test articles
- Custom ID/OD composite tubing for high-strain applications
Why filament-wound fiberglass for this application
Bidirectional glass winding delivers the hoop strength a motor case or rocket airframe needs at low weight, which is exactly why this composite tube is chosen over metal for impact and weight-critical builds.
This is a structural product, not an insulator request — confirm winding angle, burst/testing requirement and resin cure before build. Do not use as electrical tube unless specced.
Standards: ASTM D2584 / D3039 (composite testing), NAR/TRA motor casing standards where applicable.
Feature and remaining-wall review
Diamond-coated tools for clean edges; CNC turning, grinding and drilling to drawing. Dimensional stability excellent with controlled moisture content. Review feature depth, edge distance and remaining wall against critical geometries. Capability is confirmed on your drawing, not from a blanket tolerance.
Inspection and traceability
We state the control plan with you. Batch traceability links raw material lot to finished part.
- First-article inspection (FAI) per your plan
- In-process dimensional checks at every station
- Batch certificate of conformance (COA) supplied on request
- Lot traceability to incoming material certificate
- Dielectric strength and insulation resistance testing available on request

Common questions
What voltage class can epoxy glass handle?
Dielectric strength ≥ 20 kV/mm. Voltage rating depends on thickness, geometry and safety factor — your drawing determines the insulation level.
Can epoxy glass be machined to tight tolerances?
Yes. We hold ±0.05 mm on ID/OD with CNC turning and grinding using diamond-coated tools to avoid delamination.
Is epoxy glass arc-resistant?
It has good arc resistance but is not arc-quenching. For direct arc contact, pair with ceramic-filled or synthetic arc-quenching composites.
What certifications do you provide?
Material COA, batch traceability, first-article and final inspection per your plan. Certificates comply with RoHS and REACH on request.
Do you build to a pressure spec?
Material COA, batch traceability, first-article and final inspection per your plan. Certificates comply with RoHS and REACH on request.
