In our last piece, we discussed fire risks in four-stroke airplanes. This makes protecting oil lines even more critical. Early in aviation history, burning fuel in fuel and oil lines caused many problems. So, people revised hose protection standards. Today, decisions to protect fuel, oil, and other system hoses often depend on the aircraft’s working…
Fiberglass silicone sleeves are new eco-friendly fireproof materials. They combine silicone rubber and glass fiber through a special process. These sleeves offer high strength and resist high temperatures, acids, alkali, and corrosion. For these reasons, they’re popular in shipbuilding, food processing, steel factories, aerospace, and other fields. Today, high-temperature sleeves mainly come in two types:…
Hose joints mainly fall into two categories: low-pressure joints and high-pressure joints. High-pressure joints are often called hydraulic fittings. When selecting hydraulic hose joints, most people start by referencing existing product technical standards. Next, they choose materials based on working conditions. Finally, they factor in the pressure the product will handle. Steps to Choose the…
