This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) establishes the requirements for the design, manufacture, and qualification of four hydraulic switching valves used in airborne applications. Two are pressure operated, Type IA and IB and two are solenoid/pilot operated, Type IIA and IIB. They are applicable to four pressure classes 3000, 4000, 5000 and 8000 psi. The equipment as designed is intended to be installed in hydraulic systems designed to AS5440 for military applications or ARP4752 and ARP4925 depending on the type of aircraft for commercial applications. Additional or refined requirements shall be contained in the detail (procurement) specification and these shall take precedence over any potentially conflicting requirements of this ARP or documents referenced by this ARP.

This recommended practice encompasses design, analysis, fabrication, and installation of pressurized plain metal tubing used in fluid power systems to provide relative motion. Specific data given are for MIL-T-6845 tubing ranging from 1 4" to 1" dia. used in 3000 psi hydraulic or pneumatic systems, Types I, II, III or IV applied to any type of vehicle. The flexible configurations of plain metal tubing are intended for application to actuators that oscillate about a pivot, to areas of large structural deflection such as reservoirs installation, and to areas of extreme environment where flexible hose could not survive.

This Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) specifically discusses five configurations of flexible tubing. The design data given will aid in design of coiled tube assemblies using Ti-3Al-2.5V cold worked, stress relieved (CWSR) tubing per specification AMS4944. It should be noted that a particular system operating pressure level is not specified. The configurations discussed should be compatible with pressure levels up to 8000 psi upon completion of analysis for the actual stress and life requirement of the intended application. Formal qualification tests are recommended to verify satisfactory installation, clamping, and life of each unique design.

This document provides recommended practices for the design and selection of tube, hose, and fitting systems that are used to transmit hydraulic fluid on aircraft. NOTE: Guidance for the sizing of hydraulic tubing is contained in Appendix A.

This document is a compendium of recommended practices for the design of tubing systems for the transmission of liquid and gasses influid power systems for aerospace vehicles such as aircraft, missiles and boosters, and is considered applicable to the design of future space vehicles and other applications using aircraft technology. Primary emphasis is given to recommended practices for line sizing, tube routing, supports and clamping, stress considerations and permissible defects, and provisions for flexure through the use of flexible hoses, coiled tubes, swivel joints, and expansion glands. Fluid power systems are differentiated from the normal aircraft fuel and oil systems and the various fluid systems used for environmental control and air conditioning systems; however, the practices cited herein will in many cases be applicable to these other systems.
