This document provides recommended practices for the design of tubing systems that are used for the transmission of liquid and gasses in fluid power systems for aerospace vehicles such as aircraft, missiles and boosters. The 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. The sections regarding tubing materials and fitting types are included for reference, but particular recommendations are purposely avoided since their selection is dependent upon the specific requirements of each particular vehicle system and many other factors.

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.

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 SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) addresses the design, installation, and testing of coiled tube assemblies using Ti-3Al-2.5V cold worked, stress relieved (CWSR) tubing per AMS4945. It specifically details five different configurations of coiled tubing. The configurations detailed herein should be compatible with pressure levels up to 8000 psi (55.2 MPa) 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 the life of each unique design. NOTE: For information on design of coiled tube assemblies using CRES steel tubing, see ARP584.
