Dear Craig, > Does anybody have the mass and tensile strength values for carbon > fiber strings. (Saverez strings claim not to be carbon fiber so those > numbers won't necessarily work.) Thanks,
I use 1791 Kg/m³ for "carbon" (high density hydrocarbon polymer?) strings in my calculator. Seems to work well. And if you do not know the material and its density, but you have the string, you may measure its diameter, length and weight, and then use my "sub-calculator" , see the link Density in the calculator: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/wikla/mus/Calcs/wwwscalc.html Arto PS I hope I understood right the terms "mass and tensile strength value", my English is not so very good...
