Answer:
No Question 3: What are three characteristics of Teflon that make it a good material for flexible hoses for aircraft hydraulic installations?
Answer:
- Broad temperature range
- Low resistance to flow
- Less volumetric expansion than rubber
Question 4: What color-code and color-blind symbolos are used to identify a hydraulic line?
Answer:
Blue and yellow bands with bands of circles and the word hydraulics on them Question 5: What is the main disadvantage of using copper tubing for aircraft plumbing?
Answer:
Copper tubing will harden and crystalize when subject to vibration.Question 6: How do you determine what should be used as a replacement tubing in an aircraft hydraulic system?
Answer:
Use the same size and material as the original.Question 7: Is flexible hose made of Butyl material recommended for phosphate ester base hydraulic fluid?
Answer:
Yes Question 8: What information must you have about a piece of tubing other than its outside diameter or material?
Answer:
Wall Thickness Question 9: What operation takes the place of forming a flare when fabricating a flareless tube fitting?
Answer:
Presetting, which consists of forcing a sleeve pilot into the tubing Question 10: Would a piece of 3/4 inch aluminum tubing flattened in the bend to 1/2 inch be considered airworthy?
Answer:

Answer:
18-8 stainless steel
Question 13: Where should fluid line identification be placed?
Answer:
At each end of the line and once in each compartment Question 14: Name four ways of attaching fluid lines to a component or to another line.
Answer:
- Flared fitting
- Flareless fitting
- Bead and clamp
- Swagged fitting
Question 15: Why must every run of aircraft tubing have at least one bend?
Answer:
To absorb strain on joints, expansion and contraction, and vibrations
Question 16: What color are aluminum alloy AN fittings?
Answer:
Blue Question 17: What procedure may be used to prevent a tube collapsing in a bend if no tubing bender is available?
Answer:
Fill the tube with dry sand and plug both ends for bending
Question 18: What is the correct way to determine that you have the correct hose for replacement purposes?
Answer:
Manufacturer's part number is the final authority Question 19: Is it propper to tighten a flareless fitting to a value beyond its recommended torque in order to stop a drip leak?
Answer:
Never, it will only make it worse Question 20: Should a cushion clamp on a line carrying hydraulic fluid be of the bonded or unbonded type?
Answer:
Use bonded clamps for fluid lines Question 21: What are the distinguishing features between and AN and AC fitting?
Answer:
Flare, colors, shoulder, and thread pitch are different
Question 22: What is meant bye the marking "PHDAN" on a fluid line?
Answer:
Material carried in this line is physically dangerous Question 23: How is Teflon hose checked to determine that it is not kinked excessively?
Answer:
A ball of a specified size is dropped down the tube, if it is excessively twisted it will not pass through.
