Sky Ranch Aircraft Hose Fabrication

 

  Sky Ranch TSO hose assemblies are fabricated to exacting specifications and requirements as approved by the FAA and Stratoflex under the FAA/TSO system. To fabricate FAA/TSO hose assemblies requires:
  • Quality Materials
  • Trained Workmanship
  • Precision Equipment
  • Quality Control

 

Quality Materials: Sky Ranch hose assemblies are produced with all new Stratoflex hose and fittings. All incoming material is monitored for product conformance using FAA approved procedures. Traceability is maintained on all parts to assure that genuine Stratoflex parts are used in all hose assemblies. Testing for conformity includes destructive testing of hoses at specified intervals.

 Trained Workmanship: Sky Ranch is recognized by the FAA and Stratoflex as being qualified to fabricate TSO approved hose assemblies. Hose assemblies are assembled by FAA rated technicians who have factory training.

 Precision Equipment: Precise measuring and testing devices are used at Sky Ranch to assure quality and conformance to technical requirements. All measuring and testing equipment is calibrated on a scheduled basis. All hose assemblies are 100% proof tested. At periodic intervals selected hose assemblies are "blown-up" to verify minimum burst pressure capability.

Sky Ranch thoroughly tests hose assemblies:
 
 

  1. Correct parts
  2. Proper assembly length
  3. Proper twist angle when appropriate
  4. Inside assembly inspection
  5. Outside assembly inspection
  6. Proper identification
  7. All rubber aircraft hose assemblies are 100% bulge gauged per mil specification.
  8. Correct gap between nut and socket and/or nipple hex and socket
  9. Ball gauge inspection for proper I.D.
  10. Electrical conductivity
Testing
  1. Proof-testing. All hose assemblies are proof-tested generally at twice maximum operating pressure.
  2. Teflon hoses in addition to proof testing are leak tested at 500 psi air under water.
  3. Sampling and periodic control tests
  4. Sample control tests are done in conformance with appropriate MIL-specifications and Stratoflex Assembly Inspection Specifications.
  5. Age Control
  6. Hose assemblies, at time of receipt by customer may not be older than specified under MIL-STD-1523 or Stratoflex QC-189
