High Pressure Hydraulic Tubes for The Aerospace Industry

High-pressure hydraulic tubes for the aerospace industry are key components to ensure the stable operation of various systems of aircraft, and play an irreplaceable role in the entire aerospace field. In order to ensure the safety and performance of aircraft, the high-pressure hydraulic tubes used are usually seamless steel pipe or carbon steel pipe, which have excellent pressure resistance and reliability. So what are the advantages of high-pressure hydraulic tubes in the aerospace industry? What are they used for?

Advantages in the aerospace industry

1. Extreme pressure resistance and reliability

The working conditions in the aerospace field are complex and extreme, and high-pressure hydraulic tubes need to withstand ultra-high pressure. The hydraulic system pressure of modern large passenger aircraft can reach 3000psi - 5000psi (about 20.7MPa - 34.5MPa), and the pressure of high-performance aircraft such as fighter jets is even higher. This requires extremely sophisticated hydraulic tube materials and manufacturing processes to ensure no leakage or bursting under high pressure, and to ensure flight safety.

2. Excellent environmental resistance

Aircrafts must experience a variety of environments from low temperatures at high altitudes to high temperatures on the ground, from dry to humid. High-pressure hydraulic tubes must have excellent corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance. In high altitude and low temperature environment, the hydraulic tube material cannot become brittle to prevent pressure shock from causing rupture; when flying in coastal areas or operating at sea, it must be able to resist salt spray corrosion to ensure long-term stable operation.

3. Good flexibility and bendability

The internal space of the aircraft is compact, and the hydraulic tube needs to be reasonably arranged in a limited space. Therefore, the high-pressure hydraulic tube must have good flexibility and bendability, and can be bent into various shapes according to design requirements to adapt to different installation positions and directions. At the same time, it can still maintain its pressure resistance and sealing performance after bending.

Application in the aerospace industry

1. Flight control system

In the aircraft flight control system, the high-pressure hydraulic tube is responsible for transmitting hydraulic oil and driving components such as rudders, ailerons, and elevators. By accurately controlling the flow and pressure of the hydraulic oil, the pilot can flexibly control the flight attitude of the aircraft.

2. Landing gear system

The landing gear is a key component for aircraft take-off and landing, and high-pressure hydraulic tubes are used to control the retraction and braking of the landing gear. At the moment of landing, the landing gear is subjected to huge impact force. The high-pressure hydraulic tube needs to quickly transmit hydraulic energy to make the braking system work efficiently and ensure safe braking of the aircraft. During the take-off phase, the landing gear must be quickly retracted to reduce air resistance and ensure flight safety and efficiency.

3. Aircraft engine system

The fuel regulation and lubricating oil delivery systems of aircraft engines rely on high-pressure hydraulic tubes. When the engine is working, the fuel regulation system needs to accurately control the fuel flow, and the high-pressure hydraulic tube quickly transmits the hydraulic signal to ensure that the engine operates stably under different working conditions and outputs appropriate thrust to meet the needs of different stages such as take-off, cruising, and landing.

Summary

In summary, high-pressure hydraulic tubes for the aerospace industry are deeply integrated into core systems such as flight control, landing gear, and aircraft engines due to their unique pressure resistance and environmental resistance. It is not only a guarantee for the stable operation of various aircraft systems, but also a key force to promote the continuous progress of aerospace technology.
