smoedog Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Im tdy right now and dont have access to the books and my memory is rusty. How much will a brake fuse flow before it closes? it says 10 cu in on the fuse it self, but thats like 160cc and seems high. I thought i remember reading it was 25 or 50, but i forgot since it never really comes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenten Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 It is 10 cubic inches of fluid. (ref. FM 382C-14E) Memory Refreshing: “The Fuse Control Head†divides the fluid flow into two flow bath, the main flow and the metered flow; the “two†flow create a balance pressure thus the main piston remained centred, once a line ruptures downstream of the fuse, the “flow†will increase (10 cu in) through the metered orifice(pressure will drop) causing the main piston to move and block the main flow. Once closed will remained closed until the inlet pressure is reduced to 5 psi, in which a spring will react and bring the main piston to its static position.
