[0002] Aircraft hydraulic pipeline system plays the role of conveying oil and is the guarantee of aircraft safety. It must have the characteristics of high sealing and high pressure resistance. As the most basic hydraulic accessory, aviation hydraulic pipe joints connect hydraulic components such as hydraulic pumps, valves, cylinders, and oil tanks through pipelines to form a hydraulic system. There are many hydraulic pipe joints and they are widely distributed. Leakage of any pipe joint will cause waste of resources, environmental pollution, aircraft hydraulic system failure and even major flight accidents. Pipe joints are an important guarantee for the safe and reliable operation of the entire hydraulic system and provide a basis for the reliable circulation of oil, water and gas in the hydraulic system. Since the non-flaring pipe joint connection is detachable and maintainable, the higher the pressure within a certain hydraulic range, the better the sealing. Compared with the flaring connection, it has the advantages of high pressure resistance, light weight, good self-locking shock resistance, high sealing and long life, so it is widely used in aviation hydraulic systems.
