Abstract
Braze brackets utilized in connection with securing tubes and ducts to turbine engines are described. In one embodiment, the bracket includes a mounting plate having a curved braze surface. A plurality of tangs extend from the mounting plate. The specific dimensions for the braze surface and the tangs are selected depending upon the duct or tube to which the bracket is to be secured and the main bracket body to be used in connection with the bracket. In one embodiment, the curved braze surface has a semi-cylindrical geometric shape, and the tangs extend substantially radially from edges of the braze surface. The tangs are spaced along the edges of the braze surface.
