Modul_6.6_Sunum

The document provides an overview of pipes and unions used in aircraft to transport various fluids, detailing the specifications and types of materials used, including rigid pipes and flexible hoses. It discusses the importance of preventing leaks in both low and high-pressure systems, as well as the different types of couplings and unions used to connect pipes. Additionally, it covers the manufacturing processes, testing, and specific applications of these components in aviation.

Pipes and Unions
Pipes and hoses can be called upon to carry a wide variety of
different fluids within an aircraft, including fuel, hydraulic and
engine oils, de-icing fluids, pitot and static air.
The pressure within these pipes can vary from ambient to 400
MPa (400 bar or 6000 PSI). All pipes and hoses must be
manufactured, installed and connected so that no leaks occur
in service, because a leak in a very low-pressure pitot air tube
can be just as dangerous as a leak in an extremely high-
pressure hydraulic line.

Rigid Pipes
Rigid pipes are manufactured from aluminium alloys, carbon
steel, corrosion resistant or stainless steel and titanium.
Stainless steel tubing is used extensively on gas turbine engine
fuel systems and high pressure hydraulic systems, particularly
undercarriage systems which are exposed to debris thrown up
by the wheels. Aluminium alloys are often used for lower
temperature air and hydraulic return lines in protected areas.
Titanium is used for high pressure, high temperature
applications.

Rigid Pipes Pipe Couplings
Where pipes are required to join together, or to system
components couplings or unions are used. The various types of
coupling include;

High pressure types: Flared coupling


Flareless coupling
Brazed nipple coupling
Low pressure types: Rubber hose coupling
Low pressure coupling

Flared Couplings
The pipe is flared during manufacture and is used with a nipple and
collar to enable connection with a plain union . It is sometimes used
without a nipple when connected to a cone union. A nipple with two
cones is used on pipe to pipe connections.

Flareless Coupling
it employs a sleeve which is pressed into the material of the
tube and therefore does not require a flared end on the pipe.
The sleeve is set in position and deformed using a presetting
fitting. It should be examined carefully for correct assembly
before the final connection is made.

Flexible Hoses
Modern hoses are manufactured from either synthetic rubber
or Teflon. Synthetic rubber hoses are reinforced with cotton or
metal braid depending on the pressure that the hose has to
withstand, with a rubber sheath on the outside to protect the
braiding. pressures below 300 PSI

High-Pressure Hoses
All high-pressure hoses have a maximum working pressure of at least
1500 to 3000 PSI (10.34 x 10³ kN/m² to 20.68 x 10³ kN/m²) and use a
synthetic rubber liner to carry petroleum products. The inner liner is
usually wrapped with two or more steel braids as reinforcement.

Banjo Coupling
A banjo coupling is used wherever a
fluid tight seal is required, but
relative (rotational) movement
between the fitting and hose is also
required (such as on some brake
units).
