Q

A certain amount of slack must be left in a flexible hose during installation because, when under pressure it

A

Contracts in length and expands in diameter

17
Q

The term ‘cold flow’ is generally associated with

A

Rubber hose

18
Q

Flexible lines must be fitted with a slack

A

Of 5-8% of the length

19
Q

The material specifications for a certain aircraft require that a replacement oil line be fabricated from 3/4 inch, 0.072 5052-0 aluminium alloy tubing. What is the inside dimension of this tubing?

A

0.606 inch

20
Q

Excessive stress on fluid or pneumatic metal tubing caused by expansion and contraction due to temperature changes can best be avoided by

A

Using short, straight sections of tubing between fixed parts or the structure of the aircraft
OR
Providing bends in the tubing

21
Q

Flexible hose used in aircraft systems is classified in size according to the

A

Inside diameter

22
Q

Which tubing have the characteristics (high strength, abrasion resistance) necessary for the use in a high pressure (3,000 PSI) hydraulic system for operation of landing gear and flaps?

A

Corrosion resistant steel annealed 1/4H

23
Q

A gas or fluid line marked with the letters PHDAN

A

Is carrying a substance which may be dangerous to personnel

24
Q

A 3/8 inch aircraft high pressure flexible hose compared to a 3/8 inch metal tubing used in the same system will

A

Have equivalent flow characteristics

25
Q

How do you assemble a banjo hose?

A

Put washer either side of the banjo

26
Q

To install a flareless coupling

A

Turn until torque is felt plus 2 flats

27
Q

In most aircraft hydraulic systems, two-piece tube connectors consisting of a sleeve and a nut used when a tubing flare is required. The use of this type of connector eliminates

A

The possibility of reducing the flare thickness by wiping or ironing during the tightening process

28
Q

Adaptor nipples are not required on

A

Pipe to externally coned adaptor

29
Q

A butyl rubber seal is made from

A

Synthetic rubber

30
Q

What is the colour of an AN steel flared-tube fitting?

A

Black

31
Q

Which statement about military standard (MS) fitting is correct?

A

MS flareless fittings must be tightened to a specific torque
OR
During installation MS flareless fittings are normally tightened by turning the nut a specified amount after the sleeve and fitting sealing surface have made contact, rather than being torqued

Q

A flexible sealing element subject to motion is a
