English

Subject field(s)
  • Pipes and Fittings
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
CONT

The purpose of a flare on the end of a tube is twofold. First, it provides a flange that is gripped between the sleeve or flare nut and the body of a fitting. This prevents the end of the tube from slipping out of the fitting. Second, the flare acts as a gasket between the sleeve and the cone of the fitting, thus providing a tight seal. [The] flare must be nearly perfect because minute cracks or irregularities would permit leakage at the junction.

CONT

In servicing the fuel system [of an aircraft] it is sometimes necessary to make flares on the ends of tubing.
