Question 202General Subjects - Assistant Engineer
70% to passOf the hydraulic tubing fittings illustrated, the flared fitting for high-pressure use is represented by figure _______________. Illustration GS-0100
AA or C
BA or B
CB or C
DC or D
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) A or B. The flared fitting for high-pressure use is represented by figure A or B in the illustration GS-0100. Flared fittings are commonly used for high-pressure hydraulic systems because they create a tight, leak-proof seal by deforming the tubing into the fitting. This type of fitting is preferred over other options like threaded fittings for high-pressure applications. The other answer choices are incorrect because figure C represents a compression fitting, which is not suitable for high-pressure hydraulic systems, and figure D represents a straight coupling, which is a lower-pressure fitting not intended for high-pressure use.
