34
Q

Fittings for tube connections are made of what materials?

36
Q

The two major tube joint fittings are the _______ and ______.

A

Flared and Flareless

37
Q

What are the benefits of a double flare over a single flare?

57
Q

What color are carbon steel fittings?

58
Q

What color are CRES fittings?

59
Q

What color are Aluminum-bronze fittings?

A

Cadmium plate (goldish)

60
Q

What color are titanium fittings?

A

Natural to grey

61
Q

Describe Cryofit fittings.

A

The sleeve is manufactured 3% smaller, frozen in liquid nitrogen and expanded 5% larger than the line. Sleeve is removed from the liquid nitrogen and inserted on to the tube where the sleeve contracts to its original 3% smaller size and creates a permanent seal.

62
Q

What color are AC fittings?

A

Grey or yellow

63
Q

What is the difference between a AN fitting and a AC fittings?

A

AN fittings have 37 degree flares and AC fittings have 35 degree flares and are slightly longer.

64
Q

The liquid medium for proof testing tube assemblies should be what?

A

Hydraulic fluid, water or oil

65
Q

What should oxygen tubing be proof tested with?

A

Dry nitrogen

66
Q

True or False: You should always apply a compound to the faces of the fitting or flare.

A

FALSE. You should never apply any compound as it will destroy the metal on metal contact between the fitting and flare.

67
Q

If an AN flared tube assembly leaks after being tightened to the proper torque what steps do you take next?

A

Disassemble the line for repair or replace the line completely

68
Q

What can be done if a flareless tube assembly leaks?

A

It can be tightened 1/16th turn beyond the noted torque

69
Q

Leakage of a flared tube assembly is usually caused by what?

A

Flare distortion in the nut threads, sleeve cracked, flared out of roundness, flare is cracked or split

70
Q

Tubing that has nicks scratches or dents are acceptable if the dent has a depth of what?

A

Less than 20% of the tubing diameter unless its in the heel of a short bend radius

71
Q

A nick or scratch of that has a depth of less then _____ of the wall thickness on aluminum or steel should be reworked before it is acceptable.
