TIP 

When reviewing tensile strength from Oribi in regards to ply direction, remember that the PSI or Mpa is measured per "amount of material".  You use those numbers and the quantity of material going each way to get your part strength.

Example: Uni-Directional Fiber Glass PET:  You will note: 1,000 Mpa or 145,000psi tensile strength 

 If you had a 4 ply layup that was 0deg and 90deg you would have the following:

 
0 deg 2 plies @.009" thick, so you have .018" thickness material, calculated to strength using 1000Mpa. 
 
90 deg 2 plies @.009" thick, so you have .018" thickness material, calculated to strength using 1000Mpa.
