Subject: [LML] what is the correct tubing
for Oxygen?
Hello all,
I am needing to run some hard line tubing for an oxygen system and I am
wondering what type is correct. I looked in the FAA publication and it calls
for some sort of copper tubing. I would suspect that aluminum tubing would
work just as well if not better plus I likely already have it. I am wondering
what is the correct type and what inside diameter someone would suggest to
connect directly to the oxygen tank itself. The tank has a maximum pressure of
2014lbs. Would the 5052 stuff that is used on the Legacy landing gear system
good enough or is something stronger required? What about 6061. I see that is
another type that is easy to get my hands on.
Thanks for any info.
Matt
