A multifunctional composite material may include a polymer matrix, at least one nano-additive, micro-additive, and/or a spherical nano-additive. The non-metallic composite material may be used to make non-metallic parts for fuel conveyance systems for use in aircraft.

Multi additive multifunctional composite for use in a non-metallic fuel conveyance system

A leak detection system for a high-temperature aerospace fluid duct may include a rigid metal fluid duct, an electrically conductive polymer disposed around the high-temperature fluid duct, the conductive polymer configured to melt in response to a leak of high-temperature fluid from the high-temperature fluid duct. The system may include a sensor configured to monitor at least one electrical characteristic of the electrically conductive polymer. The system may include a layer of insulation disposed between the electrically conductive polymer and the high-temperature fluid duct.

A layer for directing a hydraulic fluid includes a first fluoropolymer, a first crosslinker, and an anti-static additive. The first fluoropolymer is present in an amount greater than 60 parts by weight, the first crosslinker is present in an amount of from about 1 to about 10 parts by weight, and the anti-static additive is present in an amount of from about 0.4 to about 4 parts by weight, each based on 100 parts by weight of the layer. The layer may be included in a layered tube. In addition to the layer, the layered tube also includes an outer layer. The outer layer includes a second fluoropolymer, which is the same as or different than the first fluoropolymer. The second fluoropolymer is present in an amount greater than 60 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the outer layer.

A high pressure hose that is resistant to microvoid formation includes an inner tube comprising a blend of crosslinked fluoroplastic material and fluoroelastomeric material, a first reinforcement layer constructed of para-aramid synthetic fibers, and an adhesive layer, and an outer cover.

A method includes premixing an anti-static additive and a first crosslinker to form an anti-static intermediate mixture where the anti-static additive is dispersed in the first crosslinker. The method also includes compounding the anti-static intermediate mixture and at least a portion of the first fluoropolymer to form a first compounded mixture. The method further includes extruding the first compounded mixture to form a layer.

Method for forming a layered tube and layer therein

A pressure relief apparatus including a housing, a valve disposed in the housing, the valve having a first shoulder, a retainer disposed between the housing and the valve spool, the retainer having a second shoulder, a biasing member disposed between the first and second shoulders, and a metallic seal interface between the housing and the valve. The valve may be constructed with no dynamic elastomeric seals to reduce hysteresis.

Pressure relief valve

A releasable coupling assembly for connecting two members is provided that includes a first member having an exterior surface with a receiving portion and a second member having a hose adapter and a sleeve valve positioned within the adapter. The sleeve valve is in slidable communication with the adapter and includes at least one socket aperture that includes a mating ball that contacts at least one longitudinal groove in the adapter that includes a first and expanded radial portion. When the members are secured together, the ball of the sleeve valve is retained in the receiving formation of the first member by the first radial portion of the longitudinal groove of the hose adapter. When the members are pulled apart for disconnection, the sleeve valve initially remains engaged with the first member until the ball comes into contact with the expanded radial portion of the longitudinal groove of the hose adapter and the ball departs the receiving formation of the first member, such that the valve is completely or almost completely closed prior to disconnection of the members.
