What are 2 piping categories
Rigid and Flexlines
What are Rigid tubing used for
stationary applications. High strength to weight ratio ALUMINUM
Rigid piping categories
1Low,2 medium, 3high
Rigid tube diameter is determined by
outside diameter measured in 1/16
To secure Rigid tubing you need
sleeve, nut, tube flare, fitting
The devise plumbing will secure against
37 degree flare
nuts thread onto
the fitting to pull sleeve and applies pressure behind the flare
the sleeve
creates pressure on the backside of flare for sealing
What can be used if the flare is leaking
Conicle seal
Tube Bending parts
Lock Clip, slide Bar, Radius Block
Rigid piping is bent using minimum bend radius and must
maintain minimum 75% original tube outside diameter
Adel Clamps are used to
secure lines
To help absorb stress from vibrations
tubing should have at least one bend
What are flex lines used on
areas with moveable components
Flex line parts
Lay Line, outer Layer, reinforcement layer, inner liner
Inner Liner
carries content
most not be porous to hold the fluid
mist be compatible with fluid being xmited
must have smooth surface to reduce friction
must be flexible in all temperatures
Reinforcement Layer
used for strength
made of cotton/ polyester fabric/ carbon steel or stainless steel braid
under high pressure reinforcement materials will expand in diameter and contract in length
