Brazed Pipe Joints: The Use of Permanent Brazed Pipe Joints in High‐Speed Aircraft for Weight Saving and Reliability with a Description of the Process Developed Successfully by the Preston Division of British Aircraft Corporation for Joining Pipes In Situ

Abstract

A METHOD of joining pipes which does not make use of heavy bulky fittings has always been required in the aircraft industry. In addition, as aircraft speeds increase well into the supersonic range, the need for more reliable joints that will withstand even more rigorous working conditions becomes apparent.
