Q

What type of tubes can double flaring be done on?

A

Soft aluminium with a external diameter of 3/8 or smaller

25
Why is double flaring used?
It forms a better seal and more resistant to shearing
26
In relation to tube damage what is meant by sharp-bottomed surface defect?
Loss of material with a sharp edge at the deepest point (scratch)
27
In relation to tube damage what is meant by round-bottomed surface defect?
Los of material with a non sharp edge at the deepest point (abrasion)
28
In relation to tube damage what is meant by a round-bottom surface impact?
A dent in the tube walling
29
What does it mean if damage limitations are not described in the manual?
It is not permitted
30
Why must you have slack between both fittings of a hose?
Because they reduce their length but increase in diameter when under pressure
31
What percentage does a hose reduce in length when under pressure?
2-4%
32
Why must hoses not twist when the end fittings are tightened?
Can be damaged or buckle when there is movement and can come loose
33
What are the three types of hose ratings?
High, medium, low pressure
34
What is the definition of a high pressure hose?
A hose that can handle anything above 3,000psi
35
What is the definition of a medium pressure hose?
A hose that holds pressure between 600-3,000psi
36
What is the definition of a low pressure hose?
A hose that holds pressures up to 600psi
37
What is the job of a lay line?
To indicate whether the hose assembly has twisted?
38
What colour are lay lines?
Yellow, red or white
39
What can be found on lay lines?
MIL-SPEC numbers and manufacturers information
40
What must the inner layer of a hose be compatible with?
The fluid being transported
41
Why is a reinforcement layer (middle) used in hoses?
To give the hose its strength
42
Why is a outer cover used on a hose?
To protect it from external physical damage or heat
43
What is the outer cover of a hose normally made from?
Rubber-impregnated fabric or stainless steel braid
44
What is meant by assembly length in relation to hoses?
The total length from both end fittings
45
What is meant by hose length in relation to hoses?
The total length of from both ends of the rubber (including under fittings)
46
Is it possible to re-use certain hose assembly end fittings?
Yes after thorough inspection
47
How is a new hose assembly cleaned internally?
Compressed air is blown down both ends alternately
48
How is a new hose proof tested?
It’s capped at one end and pressurised at 1 1/2 times working pressure
49
Who can complete a hose proof test?
Only a trained specialist
50
How often should a hose assembly be supported?
At least every 24 inches
51
What determines bend radius?
- Operating pressure - type of hose - normal size
52
What are the three types of protective sleeves?
- heat shrink - nylon spiral wrap - Teflon
53
Why must you be careful removing old fire sleeves?
May contain asbestos
54
What type of end does a standard MS fitting have?
A flareless end
55
What type of end does a AN fitting have?
A flared end
56
Why are quick disconnect couplings used?
Ease of use and elimination of hazards from exposed fuel
57
What is special about the screw-type quick disconnect coupling?
You can hear clicking as the teeth engage
58
How does a inst-o-magic push/pull quick disconnect work?
When pulling black the spring loaded outer shell the ball bearings on the inside loosen
59
Why must you not used gripping tools to connect or disconnect coupling halves?
Because the desired tightness can normally be accomplished by hand
