Q

What is the purpose of a sleeve on a flared-tube connection?

A

The nut and sleeve together when tightened will draw the sleeve and tubing flare tightly against the male fitting to form the seal

Q

What happens to a flareless tube fitting when it is overtightened?

A

The nut drives the cutting edge of the sleeve deeply into the tube, causing the tube to be weakened

16
Q

What is the most significant difference between AN and AC fittings?

A

Sleeve length, thread pitch and the shoulder between the threads and the flare cone on AN fittings

17
Q

How do you a flareless fitting from a glare type fitting?

A

Flareless fitting don’t have a flare cone and there is no space between the threads and the end of the fitting

18
Q

What is the effect of o er tightening a flare type fitting?

A

The sealing surface may be damaged or the flare cut off

19
Q

In addition to being securely clamped, what is an additional requirement for installing metal fuel, oil and hydraulic lines?

A

The lines must be electrically grounded to the structure

20
Q

What are some of the important advantages of Teflon tubing?

A

Compatible with most fluids, temperature range, low resistance to fluid flow and long shelf and service life

21
Q

Describe the operation of quick disconnect couplings

A

Each half has a valve that is held open when coupled and spring loaded closed when disconnected

22
Q

Why are quick disconnect fittings used?

A

Quick means to connect or disconnect a fluid line without loss of fluid or entrance of air into the system

23
Q

When fabricating a flexible hose, what percent of the total length must be allowed for freedom of movement under pressure?

A

5-8% of its total length

24
Q

How can you tell that a flexible hose has been installed in a twisted position?

A

A twisted lay line indicates an incorrect installation

25
Q

Name at least two considerations when installing flexible hose assemblies

A

Slack, flexing, twisting, bending, clearance and clamps

26
Q

Scratches and nicks may be repaired if they are less than what percent of the wall thickness?

A

10%

27
Q

Flexible hoses should be clamped at least every how many inches?

A

24 inches

28
Q

What is the difference between flare angles for aviation and automotive flares?

A

45* flares are used on cars and 35* - 37* used in aviation
