Carbon fibres type HT are @C00831@ with values of @M03966@ between \(150\) and \(275\) to \(300\ \text{GPa}\). The term HT, referring to high tensile strength, was early applied because fibres of this type display the highest tensile strengths.
Note:
The disposition of boundaries between the fibre types is somewhat arbitrary. For carbon fibres type HT, the values of the strength-to-stiffness ratio are typically larger than \(1.5 \times 10^{-2}\). The tensile strength of carbon fibres is flaw-controlled, however, and therefore the measured values increase strongly as the diameter of the filaments is decreased.
