Description / Abstract:
Application:
This Metric Aerospace Standard (MA) covers the requirements for
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) hose assemblies for use in aerospace
hydraulic, fuel, and lubricating oil systems at temperatures
between -55°C and 232°C for Class I assemblies, -55°C and 135°C for
Class II assemblies, and at nominal pressures up to 10 500 kPa (105
bar). The hose assemblies are also suitable for use within the same
temperature and pressure limitations in aerospace pneumatic systems
where some gaseous diffusion through the wall of the PTFE liner can
be tolerated.
The use of these hose assemblies in pneumatic storage systems is
not recommended. In addition, installations in which the limits
specified herein are exceeded, or in which the application is not
covered specifically by this standard, for example oxygen, shall be
subject to the approval of the purchaser.
Classification:
The hose assemblies shall be of the following classes:
Class I - All corrosion resistant steel or titanium combination
fittings, (232°C)
Class II - Combination aluminum alloy and corrosion resistant
steel fittings, (135°C), size DN12 and larger
