Abstract

A carbon filament wound hollow cylinder comprising at least two carbon filament layers, an inner axial direction-wound layer and an outer circumferential direction-wound layer, characterized in that the modulus of longitudinal elasticity in the circumferential direction of the inner layer is lower than that of the outer layer. Such a cylinder is capable of preventing possible crack formation after shaping owing to its much reduced residual stress exerted due to thermal expansion of a mandrel during shaping and capable of being stably employable as a rotary drum for, ultracentrifugation because compressive stress is exerted effectively to cancel tensile stress caused by thermal stress for causing interlaminer delamination during high speed rotation.
