Q

From the following sequences of steps, indicate the proper order you would use to make a single flare on a piece of tubing:

  1. Place the tube in the proper size hole in the flaring block.
  2. Project the end of the tube slightly from the top of the flaring
    tool, about the thickness of a dime.
  3. Slip the fitting nut and sleeve on the tube.
  4. Strike the plunger several light blows with a lightweight hammer or
    mallet and turn the plunger one-half turn after each blow.
  5. Tighten the clamp bar securely to prevent slippage.
  6. Center the plunger or flaring pin over the tube.

Q

What is an advantage of a double flare on aluminum tubing?

A

It is more resistant to the shearing effect of torque.

17
Q

Which statement about Military Standard (MS) flareless fittings is/are correct?
1. During installation, MS flareless fittings are normally tightened by
turning the nut a specified amount, rather than being torqued.
2. New MS flareless tubing/fittings should be assembled clean and dry
without lubrication
3. During installation, MS flareless fittings are normally tightened by
applying a specified torque to the nut

Q

Which statement is true regarding the geometric symbols on identifying color-code bands that are currently used on aircraft plumbing lines?

A

Symbols are always black against a white background regardless of line content.

19
Q

The term “cold flow” is generally associated with

A

impressions left in natural or synthetic rubber hose material.

20
Q

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

A

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

21
Q

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

A

Corrosion resistant steel annealed or 1/4H.

22
Q

If a flared tube coupling nut is overtightened, where is the tube most likely to be weakened/damaged?

A

At the sleeve and flare junction.

23
Q

Which coupling nut should be selected for use with 1/2-inch aluminum oil lines which are to be assembled using flared tube ends and standard AN nuts, sleeves, and fittings?

A

AN-818-8.

24
Q

When installing bonded clamps to support metal tubing,

A

remove paint or anodizing from tube at clamp location.

25
Q

Which of the following defects are NOT acceptable for metal lines?
1. Cracked flare.
2. Seams.
3. Dents in the heel of a bend less than 20 percent of tube diameter.
4. Scratches/nicks on the inside of a bend less than 10 percent of wall
thickness.
5. Dents in straight sections that are 20 percent of wall thickness.

A

1, 2, 3, and 5.

26
Q

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

A

0.606 inch

27
Q

Which of the following hose materials are compatible with phosphate-ester base hydraulic fluid?
1. Butyl.
2. Teflon.
3. Buna-N.
4. Neoprene

A

1 and 2

28
Q

When a Teflon hose has been in service for a time, what condition may have occurred and/or what precaution should be taken when it is temporarily removed from the aircraft?

A

The hose may have developed a set, or have been manufactured with a pre-set shape, and must be supported to maintain its shape

29
Q

In a metal tubing installation

A

tension is undesirable because pressurization will cause it to expand and shift

30
Q

Which statement(s) about Military Standard (MS) flareless fittings is/are correct?

  1. During installation, MS flareless fittings are normally tightened by
    turning the nut a specified amount, rather than being torqued.
  2. New MS flareless tubing/fittings should be assembled clean and dry
    without lubrication.
  3. During installation, MS flareless fittings are normally tightened by
    applying a specified torque to the nut.

Q

A gas or fluid line marked with the letters PHDAN is

A

used to carry a hazardous substance

32
Q

The best tool to use when cutting aluminum tubing, or any tubing of moderately soft metal is

A

hand operated wheel-type tubing cutter

33
Q

Flexible lines must be installed with a slack of

A

5 to 8 percent of the length

34
Q

Scratches or nicks on the straight portion of aluminum alloy tubing may be repaired if they are no deeper than

A

10 percent of the wall thickness.
