Explanation please; Figure 4-42, 43.14-1B
Figure 4-42 "Streamline tube splice using round tube" - obviously they
inserted a round tube into the streamlined tube. Can anyone explain the rest of the drawing? What's being shown in the top perspective? - thanks, Mike |

What's being shown in the top perspective? - thanks, Mike see the left hand cross section. that shows the setup. you have a diagonal cut across the streamline tube, this allows access into the streamline tube at that point. there is a slot cut into the sides of the streamline tube extending from the diagonal cut along the streamline tube in both directions for at least 1 1/2 times the streamline tube chord. the slot has rounded ends. you select an appropriate length of tube and fishmouth the ends. you need to panel beat the ends down a little so that it fits into the streamline tube. the round tube should be a neat fit in the slot in the streamline tube. once you have the round tube fitting into the entire length of the slot (by percussive persuasion, panel beating etc) you assemble the three components together you then weld the two steamline tubes together as indicated by the hachure on the drawing.then you rosette weld the round tube to the streamline tube along the edges of the slot. personally I think they've drawn the length of the round tube a little short. this may give welding problems that can be obviated by making the round tube a little longer. I hope that makes it clearer. Stealth Pilot |

The cited 1.5C is the accepted MINIMUM. In practice I believe you'll find the PRACTICAL minimum to be 1.5C + B (ie, 3C + 2B for the insert's total length). This reflects the fact that the fishmouthed ends tend to absorb heat more quickly. To keep from having to chase the weld-pool you'll find it best to have the full diameter of the doubler under the end of the notch. Also, because stresses in the streamlined tube will cause the material to spring out of position once you've created the notches, this is one of those cases where you'll need lots of clamps & tack-welds to maintain alignment. Note the recommended eighth-inch gap along the diagonal. I believe you will find this too is a minimum. Finally, while TIG does fine for the tacking, you'll probably have less trouble if you do the weld with O/A. If TIG is used for the whole job you're liable to get some cracks on the LE side of the groove unless you can bring the whole thing up to red heat and allow it to cool in still air. (O/A pretty much guarantees the whole damn thing heats up.) -R.S.Hoover |

Wannntttajjjja and Weir as well. never drop your guard though. I could have been wrong. Stealth Pilot |
