    Hi, from Orlando, Florida, U.S.A.! Great presentation. I learned the Metric system when I was a child in the 60's, and they said that was the system to which we were going - 60 years later I'm still waiting. I use both systems, doing machine work as a hobby. Best wishes to you, and I hope that you stay healthy!

  • @MaxPower_Designs
    @MaxPower_Designs 5 лет назад +1

    Also quick tip when making hydraulic hoses, or any hoses for that matter, always clock/orient your fitting and route your hose to go with the natural flow of the hose, meaning bulk hoses comes on a spools and tend to always have a bend or curve in it. Keep that in mine when routing your hose, don’t fight it, use it to your advantage! Specially true if you go above 1/2” hoses and more so if it’s double braided.

    @Grumpy_Stiltskin 5 лет назад +1

    I like to put a piece of tape on the hose after screwing it into the nut(at the point where the hose comes out of the nut), as one could hear it gets quite tight as you thread it together. The tape will show you if the hose pushed out which can happen. We used fittings like these on the oil rigs back in the day.

    I had my steering rack changed a year or two ago on my 97 Camry. They didn't tighten the fitting on the steering rack from the steering wheel. I took it back and said it has a lot of play in it. The steering feels quite light, the steering wheel is off centre and personally I think the rack needs a little more play taken out of it. I like a steering wheel that you can take your hands off and it drives straight down the road with a slight tendency to wander according to road surface.

    Welding the thin pipe to an AN fitting with ER70S filler can make them brittle and prone to failure. Especially in due to heat and vibration fatiguing them. I usually like to use silicon bronze and TIG them together without melting the base metal. You'll notice a lot of engine oil pickups are constructed this way for the same reason.

Although they didnt have the right fittings to do a custom clutch hose for me the last time, but brake line did the trick until I got my hands on the right materials.

    As a hydraulics worker who remakes P/S hoses but the part you'll miss is the internal resister on the high pressure side preventing damage to pumps and boxes due to fluid pulses. with all respect Yoda at 11:14 you shouldn't use the hose to turn the mandrel/hose tail on.

      @NBSV1 5 лет назад +4

      With AN fittings larger numbers are bigger fittings. So -8 would be bigger than -6. And they get sized based on how much flow is needed and what kind of pressure it needs. Smaller hoses can withstand higher pressures without extra reinforcement.
      And the 100 series is the type of the hose. It varies some by brand, but the different series will have different pressure ratings and different fluids they’ll handle.

    I have that engine in my VY SS Commodore & I have already heat wrapped the driver's side header (Genie headers) to protect the power steering rack & starter motor as well as other stuff like the heater valve & battery from getting cooked (the drivers side header tended to warp the heater valve) but I would like to heat wrap the passenger side header next.
    The high pressure power steering pipe comes into close contact (1 inch) with the exhaust header which tends to make the power steering hard to steer.
    I tend to notice that the high pressure pipe also weeps a little bit of fluid & the pump is brand new,I think that the rear of the pump & the power steering pipe gets too hot so I'm going to insulate the exhaust header from the power steering pump.
    I noticed that the same engine in the Chevrolet Camaro has its high pressure hose run down the front of the engine to the power steering rack which is mounted in front of the engine so it's routed away from the exhaust manifold,the Camaro uses a different pump as well !

      ​@@yeahna they seem to have a thing going with Goleby's, the company that supplies them with hose and fittings. I'm going to assume you have the mental capacity of a 12yo based on your level of humour, and lay it out for you:
      Teflon hose is good for most automotive applications, so it saves you from having to stock multiple different hose and fitting types for different applications (petrol/gasoline, E85, diesel, oil, trans fluid, PS fluid, brake fluid, etc).
      It's ~20% more expensive, but all of the options for quality custom hoses are expensive, and compared to outsourcing to a hydraulic company to custom make each hose it's generally more time and cost effective to make them in house. Teflon hoses have much higher specs and IMHO should last longer than other rubber-type hoses
      Not that comparing numbers really qualifies as maths, but PTFE hose is objectively superior when it comes to the numbers:
      200 series PTFE stainless braid reinforced -6AN:
      - working pressure ~3300PSI, burst pressure ~10,000PSI
      - operating temp -70ºC to 260ºC
      - steel and aluminium fittings available (in industry, steel is recommended for high pressure side)
      490 series synthetic rubber textile reinforced -6AN:
      - working pressure ~1500PSI, burst pressure ~6000PSI
      - operating temp -40ºC to 120ºC (PS fluid can exceed 120ºC in demanding applications)
      - aluminium fittings only
