Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
3. Aircraft Fluid Lines and Fittings
All aircraft depend upon a number of systems to provide vital functions for
operation. Fuel, oxygen, lubrication, hydraulic, instrument, fire extinguishing, air
conditioning, heating, and water systems all require fluid lines. The malfunction of
these systems due to fluid-line failure seriously jeopardizes the aircraft’s safety.
6. ▪ Metal tubing or rigid fluid line are used in
stationary applications where long and
relatively straight runs are possible.
▪ Widely used in aircraft for fuel, oil, coolant,
oxygen, instrument and hydraulic lines.
Rigid Fluid Lines
7.
8. Copper tubing
▪ Earlier aircrafts uses in aviation fluid applications.
▪ Replaced by Al alloy, steel (CRES) and titanium tubings.
▪ Vibration can harden it and cause it to crack.
Rigid Fluid Lines
9. Aluminum Alloy Tubing
▪ 1100 H14 or 3003 H14 used in general purposes such as
instrument lines and ventilating conduits.
▪ 2024-T3, 5052-O and 6061-T6 used in hydraulics and
pneumatics systems, fuel and oil lines (low and medium
pressures 1000 to 1500 psi)
Rigid Fluid Lines
10. Steel tubing
Corrosion-‐RESistant steel (CRES or stainless steel)
▪ Used in high pressure hydraulic systems such as
landing gear operation, flaps, brakes and in fire
zones. (above 3000 psi).
▪ High tensile strength - thinner wall - less weight.
▪ Uses MS flareless fittings or swaged fittings
Rigid Fluid Lines
11. Titanium Tubing
▪ 30 % stronger than steel and 50 % lighter.
▪ Used in high performance aircraft hydraulic system for
pressure above 1500 psi.
▪ Should not use in any oxygen system assembly.
(oxygen reactive)
Rigid Fluid Lines
12. Rigid Fluid Lines
Material Identification
▪ Aluminum alloy, steel or titanium tubing can be identified readily by sight.
▪ Carbon steel, stainless steel and alloys of aluminum are difficult to determine.
▪ Compare code markings of the replacement tubing with the original markings on
the tubing for positive identification.
16. ▪ Metal fluid lines are sized by their Outside Diameter (OD).
▪ Measured fractionally in sixteenths of an inch (1/16).
▪ Tube diameter is printed on all rigid tubing.
▪ Wall thickness is printed on the tubing in thousandths of an
inch.
Size
17. Outside Diameter (OD)
No. 8 Tubing – 8/16 – 1/2 inch
No. 10 Tubing – 10/16 – 5/8 inch
Inside Diameter (ID)
i.e.: “10 with 0.065 wall thickness
OD = 10 x1/16 inch = 10/16 or 5/8 inch
ID = 5/8 inch -2 x 0.065 inch = 0.495 inch
i.e.: “12 with 0.072 wall thickness
OD = 12 x12/16 inch = 12/16 or 3/4 inch
ID = 3/4 inch -2 x 0.072 inch = 0.606 inch
Size
19. It is important when installing tubing to know not only the material
and outside diameter, but also the thickness of the wall.
20. Tube Fittings
Fittings for tube connections are made of aluminum alloy, titanium
steel, corrosion-resistant steel, brass, and bronze.
21. Fluid Line End Fittings
Depending on the type and use, fittings will have either pipe threads
or machine threads.
Pipe Threads Machine Threads
22. Fluid Line
End Fittings
▪ Pipe threads are similar to those used in ordinary
plumbing and are tapered, both internal and external.
▪ External threads are referred to as male threads and
internal threads are female threads.
▪ Pipe thread lubricant approved for particular fluid
application should be used when joining pipe threads
to prevent seizing and high-pressure leakage.
▪ Use care when applying thread lubricant so that the
lubricant does not enter and contaminate the system.
▪ Do not use lubricants on oxygen lines. Oxygen reacts
with petroleum products and can ignite (special
lubricants are available or oxygen systems).
23. Fluid Line
End Fittings
▪ Machine threads have no sealing capability and are
similar to those used on common nuts and bolts.
▪ This type of fitting is used only to draw connections
together or for attachment through bulkheads.
▪ A flared tube connection, a crush washer, or a
synthetic seal is used to make the connection fluid
tight. Machine threads have no taper and do not
form a fluid-tight seal.
▪ The size of these fittings is given in dash numbers,
which equal the nominal outside diameter in
sixteenths of an inch.
24. Universal Bulkhead Fittings
Used when a fluid line passes through a bulkhead, and it is desired to secure the
line to the bulkhead.
The end of the fitting that passes through the bulkhead is longer than the other
end(s), which allows a locknut to be installed, securing the fitting to the bulkhead.
25.
26.
27. Universal Bulkhead Fittings
Fittings attach one piece of tubing to another or to system units.
1. Bead and clamp
2. Flared fittings
3. Flareless fittings
4. Permanent fittings (Permaswage™, Permalite™, and Cyrofit™)
Note:
The amount of pressure that the system carries and the material used are
usually the deciding factors in selecting a connector.
31. Universal Bulkhead Fittings
Permanent Fittings
(Permaswage™, Permalite™, and Cyrofit™)
Used as connectors in all systems, regardless of the pressure.
32. Rigid Tubing Flare
Single Flare
37° flare is used for AN fittings. Older
AC fittings used 35° and Automotive
lines are usually 45°
Double Flare
Used on soft aluminum alloy tubing 3⁄8“
outside diameter and under. Necessary
to prevent cutting off the flare and
failure of the tube assembly under
operating pressures.
5052-O and 6061-T aluminum alloy
tubing in sizes 1⁄8 to 3⁄8 may be double
flared.
33. Cutaway view of single-flared (A) and double flared (B) tube ends.
39. Tube Flaring Tool
Used for aircraft tubing has male and female
dies ground to produce a flare of 35° to 37°.
Uses pressure to make a fabricated mechanical
joint for joining or sealing aluminum, copper
etc. tubing with a flare connection.
40. Fabrication of Metal Tube Lines
Tube forming consists of four processes: cutting, bending, flaring, and
beading. If the tubing is small and made of soft material, the assembly
can be formed by hand bending during installation.
If the tube is 1⁄4" diameter or larger, hand bending without the aid of
tools is impractical.
41. ▪ When cutting tubing, it is important to produce
a square end, free of burrs. Tubing may be cut
with a tube cutter or a hacksaw. The cutter can
be used with any soft metal tubing, such as
copper, aluminum, or aluminum alloy.
▪ Special chipless cutters are available for cutting
aluminum 6061-T6, corrosionresistant steel, and
titanium tubing.
Tube Cutting
42.
43. Tube
Cutting
▪ A new piece of tubing should be cut
approximately 10 percent longer than the tube to
be replaced to provide for minor variations in
bending.
▪ Too much pressure on the cutting wheel at one
time could deform the tubing or cause excessive
burring.
▪ If a tube cutter is not available, or if tubing of hard
material is to be cut, use a fine-tooth hacksaw,
preferably one having 32 teeth per inch.
44. ▪ When performing the deburring operation, use
extreme care that the wall thickness of the end of
the tubing is not reduced or fractured. Very slight
damage of this type can lead to fractured flares or
defective flares, which do not seal properly. Use a
fine-tooth file to file the end square and smooth.
Tube Deburring
45. This tool is capable of removing both the inside and outside burrs by just
turning the tool end for end.
46. Tube Bending
▪ The objective in tube bending is to
obtain a smooth bend without
flattening the tube.
▪ Tubing under 1⁄4" in diameter usually
can be bent without the use of a
bending tool.
▪ For larger sizes, either portable hand
benders or production benders are
usually used.
47. Tube
Bending
▪ Using a hand bender, insert the tubing into
the groove of the bender so that the
measured end is left of the form block.
▪ Align the two zeros and align the mark on the
tubing with the L on the form handle. If the
measured end is on the right side, then align
the mark on the tubing with the R on the
form handle.
▪ With a steady motion, pull the form handle
until the zero mark on the form handle lines
up with the desired angle of bend, as
indicated on the radius block.
48.
49.
50. Tube
Bending
▪ Bend the tubing carefully to avoid excessive
flattening, kinking, or wrinkling.
▪ A small amount of flattening in bends is acceptable,
but the small diameter of the flattened portion
must not be less than 75 percent of the original
outside diameter.
▪ Tubing with flattened, wrinkled, or irregular bends
should not be installed. Wrinkled bends usually
result from trying to bend thin wall tubing without
using a tube bender. Excessive flattening causes
fatigue failure of the tube.
51. Maintain at least 75% of outside diameter
Material or mandrels may be used inside
Hand benders can be used up to number 12 tubing
Small thin wall tubes (1/4” or less) can be bent by hand with special coil bending spring
Acceptable and Unacceptable Tube Bending
54. The tool consists of a flaring block or grip die, a
yoke, and a flaring pin. The flaring block is a hinged
double bar with holes corresponding to various
sizes of tubing.
These holes are countersunk on one end to form
the outside support against which the flare is
formed. The yoke is used to center the flaring pin
over the end of the tube to be flared.
Two types of flaring tools are used to make flares on
tubing: the impact type and the rolling type.
Single-flare
55. Instructions
for Rolling-
Type Flaring
Tools
▪ Use these tools only to flare soft copper, aluminum, and brass
tubing. Do not use with corrosion-resistant steel or titanium.
▪ Cut the tube squarely and remove all burrs. Slip the fitting nut
and sleeve on the tube. Loosen clamping screw used for locking
the sliding segment in the die holder. This permits their
separation. The tools are self-gauging; the proper size flare is
produced when tubing is clamped flush with the top of the die
block.
▪ Insert tubing between the segments of the die block that
correspond to the size of the tubing to be flared. Advance the
clamp screw against the end segment and tighten firmly.
▪ Move the yoke down over the top of the die holder and twist it
clockwise to lock it into position.
▪ Turn the feed screw down firmly and continue until a slight
resistance is felt. This indicates an accurate flare has been
completed.
▪ Always read the tool manufacturer’s instructions, because there
are several different types of rolling-type flaring tools that use
slightly different procedures.
56.
57. Single-flare
1. Slip the nut and sleeve on the tube.
2. Place the tube in the proper size hole in the flaring block.
3. Center the plunger, or flaring pin, over the tube.
4. Project the end of the tube slightly from the tip of the flaring tool,
about the thickness of a dime.
5. Tighten the set screw securely to prevent slippage.
6. Strike the plunger several light blows with a lightweight hammer or
mallet, and turn the plunger one-half turn after each blow.
58. Double Flaring
A double flare is smoother and more concentric than a single
flare and therefore seals better. It is also more resistant to the
shearing effect of torque.
59. Double
Flaring
Instructions
▪ Deburr both the inside and outside of the tubing to be flared.
Cut off the end of the tubing if it appears damaged. Anneal
brass, copper, and aluminum by heating to a dull red and cool
rapidly in cold water.
▪ Open the flaring tool by unscrewing both clamping screws.
Select the hole in the flaring bar that matches the tubing
diameter and place the tubing with the end you have just
prepared, extending above the top of the bar by a distance
equal to the thickness of the shoulder of the adapter insert.
▪ Tighten clamping screws to hold tubing securely. Insert pilot of
correctly sized adapter into tubing. Slip yoke over the flaring
bars and center over adapter. Advance the cone downward until
the shoulder of the adapter rests on the flaring bar.
60. Double
Flaring
Instructions
(Cont.)
▪ This bells out the end of the tubing. Next, back off the cone just
enough to remove the adapter. After removing the adapter,
advance the cone directly into the belled end of the tubing. This
folds the tubing on itself and forms an accurate double flare
without cracking or splitting the tubing. To prevent thinning out
of the flare wall, do not overtighten.
▪ Next, back off the cone just enough to remove the adapter. After
removing the adapter, advance the cone directly into the belled
end of the tubing. This folds the tubing on itself and forms an
accurate double flare without cracking or splitting the tubing. To
prevent thinning out of the flare wall, do not overtighten.
61.
62. AN Flared Fittings
A flared tube fitting consists of a sleeve and a nut. The nut fits over the sleeve
and, when tightened, draws the sleeve and tubing flare tightly against a male
fitting to form a seal. Tubing used with this type of fitting must be flared before
installation. The male fitting has a cone-shaped surface with the same angle as
the inside of the flare.
The sleeve supports the tube so that vibration does not concentrate at the edge
of the flare and distributes the shearing action over a wider area for added
strength.
63. AN Flared Fittings
Fitting combinations composed of different alloys should be avoided to prevent
dissimilar metal corrosion. As with all fitting combinations, ease of assembly,
alignment, and proper lubrication should be assured when tightening fittings
during installation.
64. AN Flared Fittings
Standard AN fittings are identified by
their black or blue color.
All AN steel fittings are colored black,
all AN aluminum fittings are colored
blue, and aluminum bronze fittings
are cadmium plated and natural in
appearance.
65. Flared Tube End Fittings
There are two types of nuts that may be used on a flared tube;
✓ Single Piece AN817 nut
✓ Should not be used near bend
✓ Two-Piece AN818 nut and AN819 sleeve
✓ Reduce wiping or ironing action on flare
Over tightening a flared tube coupling nut will likely weaken or damage the tube
and it is most likely to fail at the sleeve and flare junction.
66.
67. Flared Tube End Fittings
✓ The AN817 nut cannot be used on tubing where there is a bend near the end.
✓ The AN818 nut and AN819 sleeve combination is the preferred type of
connector because it lessens the possibility of reducing the thickness of the
flare by the wiping or ironing action when the nut is tightened. With the two-
piece fitting, there is no relative motion between the fitting and the flare when
the nut is being tightened.
68.
69.
70.
71.
72. ✓A popular repair system for connecting and repairing hydraulic lines
on transport category aircraft is the use of Permaswage™ fittings.
✓Swaged fittings create a permanent connection that is virtually
maintenance free.
✓Swaged fittings are used to join hydraulic lines in areas where
routine disconnections are not required and are often used with
titanium and corrosion-resistant steel tubing. The fittings are
installed with portable hydraulically-powered tooling, which is
compact enough to be used in tight spaces.
Swaged Fittings
75. ▪ A tube fitting that is mechanically attached to the tube
by axial swaging. Permalite™ works by deforming the
fitting into the tube being joined by moving a ring, a
component of the Permalite™ fitting, axially along the
fitting length using a Permaswage Axial swage tool.
Permalite™
77. ▪ Many transport category aircraft use Cryofit fittings to join hydraulic
lines in areas where routine disconnections are not required. Cryofit
fittings are standard fittings with a cryogenic sleeve. The sleeve is
made of a shape memory alloy, Tinel.
▪ The sleeve is manufactured 3 percent smaller, frozen in liquid
nitrogen, and expanded to 5 percent larger than the line. During
installation, the fitting is removed from the liquid nitrogen and
inserted onto the tube. During a 10 to 15 second warming up
period, the fitting contracts to its original size (3 percent smaller),
biting down on the tube, forming a permanent seal.
▪ Cryofit fittings can only be removed by cutting the tube at the
sleeve, though this leaves enough room to replace it with a swaged
fitting without replacing the hydraulic line. It is frequently used with
titanium tubing. The shape memory technology is also used for end
fittings, flared fittings, and flareless fittings.
Cryofit Fittings
78. Rigid Tubing
Installation and Inspection
Before installing a line assembly in an aircraft, inspect the line
carefully. Remove dents and scratches and be sure all nuts and sleeves
are snugly mated and securely fitted by proper flaring of the tubing.
The line assembly should be clean and free of all foreign matter.
79. Connection and Torque
✓ Never apply compound to the faces of the fitting or the flare, as it destroys the
metal-to-metal contact between the fitting and flare, a contact which is
necessary to produce the seal. Be sure that the line assembly is properly
aligned before tightening the fittings. Do not pull the installation into place
with torque on the nut.
✓ Always tighten fittings to the correct torque value when installing a tube
assembly. Overtightening a fitting may badly damage or completely cut off the
tube flare, or it may ruin the sleeve or fitting nut.
80. Connection and Torque
✓ Failure to tighten sufficiently also may be serious, as this condition may allow
the line to blow out of the assembly or to leak under system pressure.
✓ The use of torque wrenches and the prescribed torque values prevents
overtightening or undertightening. If a tube fitting assembly is tightened
properly, it may be removed and retightened many times before reflaring is
necessary.
82. Rigid Tubing
Inspection
and Repair
▪ Minor dents and scratches in tubing may be repaired.
Scratches or nicks not deeper than 10 percent of the wall
thickness in aluminum alloy tubing, which are not in the heel
of a bend, may be repaired by burnishing with hand tools.
▪ The damage limits for hard, thin-walled corrosion-resistant
steel and titanium tubing are considerably less than for
aluminum tubing and might depend on the aircraft
manufacturer.
▪ Consult the aircraft maintenance manual for damage limits.
Replace lines with severe die marks, seams, or splits in the
tube. Any crack or deformity in a flare is unacceptable and is
cause for rejection.
▪ A dent of less than 20 percent of the tube diameter is not
objectionable, unless it is in the heel of a bend.
83. Dent removal using a bullet
▪ To remove dents, draw a bullet of proper size through the tube by means of a length of cable, or
push the bullet through a short straight tube by means of a dowel rod. In this case, a bullet is a
ball bearing or slug normally made of steel or some other hard metal. In the case of soft
aluminum tubing, a hard wood slug or dowel may even be used as a bullet.
Rigid Tubing Inspection and Repair
84. ▪ Aluminum 6061-T6, corrosion-resistant steel 304-1/8h and Titanium 3AL-2.5V tubing can be
repaired by swaged fittings. If the damaged portion is short enough, omit the insert tube and
repair by using one repair union.
▪ When repairing a damaged line, be very careful to remove all chips and burrs. Any open line that
is to be left unattended for some time should be sealed, using metal, wood, rubber, or plastic
plugs or caps.
Rigid Tubing Inspection and Repair
87. Metal tubing may be repaired by removing the damaged area and splicing in a new section using the
appropriate nuts, sleeves, and unions.
88. ▪ When repairing a low-pressure line using a flexible
fluid connection assembly, position the hose clamps
carefully to prevent overhang of the clamp bands or
chafing of the tightening screws on adjacent parts.
If chafing can occur, the hose clamps should be
repositioned on the hose.
Rigid Tubing Inspection and Repair
89. ▪ Fluid line should be installed below the wire bundle to prevent a leak wetting the wires.
▪ Fluid lines must be installed in such a way that they are supported and protected from physical
damage.
▪ Each section of rigid tubing should have at least one bend in it to absorb vibration and the
dimensional changes that occur when the tubing is pressurized, and when the temperature of
the fluid increases.
▪ The tubing should fit squarely against the fitting before the nut is started. Pulling a tube to the
fitting with the nut will deform the flare and can cause a flare to fail.
▪ Metal fluid lines are installed in an aircraft with bonded cushion clamps.
Installation of Rigid Fluid Lines
90. Metal fluid lines are installed in an aircraft with bonded
cushion clamps.
▪ Bonded clamps have a strip of metal inside the
cushion that electrically connects the tubing to the
aircraft structure.
▪ To provide a good electrical connection between the
tubing and the aircraft structure remove all of the
paint and the anodized oxide film from the location
to which the clamp is fastened.
Installation of Rigid Fluid Lines
94. Rigid tubing is marked with colored tape and symbols to
identify its contents.
Identification tape code indicate the function, contents,
hazards, direction of flow and pressure in the fluid line.
Tapes are applied in accordance with FAA regulations
and MIL-STD-1247C.
Identification of Fluid Lines
96. ▪ Fluid lines carrying hazardous materials are marked with tape carrying an abbreviation which
identifies the hazard.
▪ Tubing that must be handled with special care because of its contents is marked with a warning
symbol, which is a white band with black skull and crossbones.
Identification of Fluid Lines
97. Supply lines - Lines that carry fluid from the reservoir to the pumps are called supply (or suction)
lines.
Pressure Lines - Lines that carry only pressure are called pressure lines. Pressure lines lead from
the pumps to a pressure manifold, and from the pressure manifold to the various selector valves,
or they may run directly from the pump to the selector valve.
Operationg Lines - Lines that alternately carry pressure to an actuating unit and return fluid from
the actuating unit are called operating lines or working lines. Each operating line is identified in
the aircraft according to its specific function for example : Landing gear up. Landing gear down,
flaps up, flaps down, etc., as the case may be.
Return lines - Lines that are used to return fluid from any portion of the system to the reservoir
are called return lines.
Vent Lines - Lines that carry excess fluid overboard or into another receptacle are vent lines.
