Many different composite cylinders and pipes can be produced by various fabrication methods such as filament winding, prepreg rolling method, braiding technique and so on. It is desirable to understand the mechanical behavior of pipe made by the different method. In this paper torsional behavior of braided composite tube, particularly the effects of braiding angle, was investigated. Numerical model was applied to estimate the torsional rigidity. The torsional rigidity increases with increase of braiding angle from 30{degree} to 45{degree}. However above 45{degree} braiding angle the torsional rigidity remains constant. These results can be compared to numerical results.
