Test for SAE AS 2078 Polytetrafluoroethylene Hose Assemblies

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of SAE AS 2078 testing. This SAE standard describes test methods for flexible PTFE hose and hose assemblies used in aircraft fluid systems in the pressure and temperature ranges defined in specific purchasing specifications.

PTFE is a popular material for hydraulic hoses due to its high chemical resistance, low friction and ability to withstand high temperatures.

The PTFE hose specifications set out in SAE AS 2078 include requirements for materials used in hose construction, such as PTFE liner, reinforcement layers, and outer casing. The standard also includes requirements for dimensions, pressure ratings and test procedures for PTFE hoses to ensure their safety and reliability in aviation hydraulic systems.

In addition, SAE AS 2078 contains specific requirements for end fittings used with PTFE hoses, such as the types of materials used and the design of the fitting. These requirements are important to ensure that the hose and fittings are properly matched and can withstand the high pressures and temperatures encountered in aviation hydraulic systems.

Overall, SAE AS 2078 helps ensure their safety and reliability in critical applications by providing a comprehensive set of specifications and requirements for PTFE hoses used in aviation hydraulic systems.
