What does the ‘K’ of carbon fiber cloth mean? What does it stand for?

Jul. 26, 2018


As the global climate is becoming warmer and warmer, extreme weather is increasing. During this season's heavy rain, typhoons and droughts are often "randomly broadcasted" together. Under the influence of such extreme weather, the building is constantly being tested. More and more companies are beginning to realize the importance of precautions, and strengthen the vulnerable parts of the building in advance. At this time, as a new type of reinforcement material, carbon fiber cloth will show its function. Because of the unique properties of carbon fiber cloth, it can be used in many environments to strengthen the work, and is well received by the majority of construction units. However, when you buy, you will find that carbon fiber cloth has a different K number? So what does this K mean? Today, we will explain the meaning of K in carbon fiber cloth to you.

According to carbon fiber specifications: 1K, 3K, 6K, 12K carbon fiber cloth and large tow carbon fiber cloth (for example, 15K, 24K, or even 48K). "K", which stands for the specification of carbon fiber cloth. The carbon fiber cloth is woven from a bundle of carbon fiber filaments, and 1K represents a carbon fiber cloth in which one bundle of filaments contains 1000 filaments, and 3K represents a bundle includes 3000 carbon filaments.

Is that the more the tow, the better? In fact, in the production some manufacturers produce inferior carbon fiber cloth and generally uses large tow carbon fiber in order to reduce costs, which feels not good. And the hardness is large, thick and dense. It has poor impregnation with the glue. It is very dangerous to use it for structural reinforcement. The small tow bundle is more expensive and strict in process control. The carbonization equipment is expensive, and the carbon fiber cloth produced is high in cost. Among such a wide variety of categories, especially 12K carbon fiber cloth is the most cost-effective.
