BACKGROUND:
Due to their impact on aircraft dispatch reliability, hydraulic leaks are a concern for operators. The following charts have been produced based on the leak events reported by the operators from January 2005 to end of 2011 for A330, A340 basic and for A340-500/600. It presents the fleet wide operational interruption rate per 100 Take Offs (T/O) due to hydraulic leaks in ATA chapters 27, 29, 32, 52 and 78 for the A330, A340 basic and for A3456 aircraft.

A330-200 / A340-500/600 - Rudder servo control seal protrusion
On several A340-600 aircraft, the scraper seal (CMM 27-21-20 IPL Fig.5 item 280) of the rudder servo controls PN 31115-060 / -070 was found extruded. These servo controls (PN 31115-0X0) are installed on A340-500/600 and A330-200 post-mod 49144 (electrical rudder). As long as the leakage rate is within AMM 29-00-00-790-801 limits, according to Goodrich SIL 31115-27-0A, the rudder servo controls that are affected by a piston rod scraper seal extrusion are still serviceable and do not need to be replaced. As final solution, Goodrich has selected a new design of scraper seal enabling to release pressure and avoid extrusion. This solution is introduced by Goodrich Service Bulletin 31115-27-03. For more details please refer to TFU 27.24.00.011 (Closed in April 2009).

A330 / A340-200/300 - Eaton (Former Vickers) – EDP union leaks and high pulsations level
EDP models PV3-300-13K (P/N 974976), PV3-300-13L (P/N 974800) and PV3-300-EA2 (P/N 3022053-000) have been affected by various leak issues that have been addressed through different modifications and Service Bulletins. From October 2007, the EDP model PV3-300-EA2A (P/N 3022053-001) was introduced on production aircraft through mod 56723 and through desirable SB’s A330-29-3106 / A340-294082 for in service aircraft. This model features several major improvements namely: Parting lines ROSAN fittings (assembly process change at Eaton) Transfer tubes Please also refer to TFU : TFU 29.10.00.030: low pressure regulation TFU 29.10.00.029: adaptor block porosity TFU 29.10.00.033: solenoid valve crack Note : all above Eaton EDP models are fully interchangeable.

A330 Trent 700
There have been a number of hydraulic leaks in service due to loss of torque at the union between the damper assembly and the hydraulic tube. The majority of these leaks lead to green hydraulic system loss. RR NMSB 29-F577 recommends repetitive inspection of the Green system hydraulic damper pressure line union tightness (check of witness torque stripe) every A check, pending final fix implementation. For more details please refer to TFU 29.11.00.009.
A330 / All A340 - Check Valve PN CAR400/CAR401 Leaks
Shortly after introduction of check valve CAR401, several cases of leaks and system losses were reported to AIRBUS. The Yellow hydraulic system was the most affected sometimes at a relatively low number of cycles (around 1000 FC). In October 2009, mandated AOT / ISB’s A330-29-3111 and A340-29-4086 were issued to verify the correct torque condition of the check valves (through red marking and traces of seepage/black

A330 / All A340 - HP Filter
Some operators have reported leaks on the HP filter manifolds P/N FA00512A. Airbus introduced in production P/N FA04804A by MOD 200493 in July 2010 with enhanced fatigue properties. The modification consists of three changes: New filter head design. New raw material : Aluminium material of filter head has been replaced by new more resistant aluminium. Manual deburring process replaced by electro deburring process. Note that the P/N FA04804A is 2-way interchangeable with the P/N FA00512A. For in-service aircraft, the VSB FA04804A-29-001 has been issued in 2010. Note : same filter P/N is used on normal brake system. Brake filters (see “Filter brake manifold” chapter) were more affected by leaks because they are submitted to a higher number of pressure cycles.

SERVICE INFORMATION LETTER
Operators have reported leakage of L/G Selector Valve Manifold NRV Extractor plugs P/N D31AB4412 and P/N D31AB4411-2 due to plug cracks or loosening. The vendor Goodrich Actuation Systems has introduced a new extractor plug P/N D31AB4413 and P/N D31AB4411-3 made of stainless steel to prevent cracks. In addition, the torque value of subject plug has been modified. For more details, please refer to Vendor Service Bulletin D31AB441-32-05 covered by S B A33032-3152 and SB A340-32-4190. However, some operators have reported leakages on post SB A330-32-3152 or SB A340-324190. In order to minimize any potential risk of failure and leakage, Airbus recommends purchasing high quality seals as per SIL 29-064 and to follow standard practices for seal lubrication and installation as per AMM 20-29-00-911. Please, note that the O’ring seal shall be installed using the tool P/N 0U139171 or P/N 98A29103000000. Moreover, it is very important to pay particular attention when performing embodiment of SB A330-32-3152 or SB A340-324190 on-wing, to ensure that the counter torque tool P/N 0U300851 is used during removal of the NRV Plug from the selector valve. Removal without the use of this tool can potentially damage the LG selector valve structural attachment points due to the higher torque required to undo the NRV plug. The counter torque tool should also be used for re-installation of the NRV plug as detailed in SB A330-32-3152 or SB A340-32-4190.

Brake Servo Valve
Brake Servo Valves P/N C20374000-1 led to leaks for both A330 and A340 aircraft due to extrusion of the static ‘O’ ring seal fitted between the valve body and the slide valve guide. Airbus SBs A330-32-3078, A340-32-4107 and Messier-Bugatti VSB C20374-32-030 were issued to introduce Brake Servo Valves P/N C20374000-2 with a modified brake servo valve assembly. For more details, refer to TFU 32.42.48.002. However, on post-mod Brake Servo Valves P/N C20374000-2, several cases of brake servo valve body cracking have been reported with seepage. Metallurgical investigations have shown the cracks on the servo valve body have developed from corrosion pits located at the interface between the servo valve body and the blanking plate. The final solution, adding some loctite 518 layer between the blanking plate edge and the servovalve body, has been proposed in the Messier-Bugatti VSB C20374-32-3350 rev 1 in 2011 with the new Brake Servo Valves P/N C20374000-2 Amdt A. It has been embodied in production from PN C20374000-2 with S/N F137C20374.

L/G Door Bypass Valve
The door bypass valve (PN HTE960023) was affected by leaks on A330 and A340 aircraft. A new design of the door bypass valve PN FRH530014D was introduced by FR-HITEMP. This improved valve was embodied in production from A/C MSN 281. As an option, operators may also install the new valve retrospectively to ‘in-service’ aircraft. For more details please refer to TFU 32.31.01.004 (closed in February 1999). Several operators have reported failures of the baulk pin retaining plate bolts on PN FRH530014D for which Eaton (ex Fr-Hitemp) have carried out several fatigue / endurance tests over the last few months to try to reproduce the in-service failure. All tests have been passed without a bolt failure, which led Eaton to conclude that overtorquing in-service is the likely reason behind the failures. Eaton has dispatched a VSB ref FRH530014D-32-1 to propose new bolts (providing a higher margin to potential overtorquing) and tamper device (PRC sealant applied over and around the bolt head after tightening to the correct torque to reduce likelihood of in-service tampering). The VSB also replaces the seals on the baulk pin retainer with seals that are pre-scarf cut to provide a better maintenance. For more details please refer to TFU 32.00.00.009 (closed in May 2007).

Auto Brake Selector Valve Seal NAS1612-8
On A330 / A340-200/300 , some operators have reported some leakages on Auto Brake Selector Valve Seal P/N NAS1612-8. AMM 32-42-13-400-801-A has been revised in January 2012 reflecting new torque values for both unions (2) and (5). Currently, Airbus advises the operator to follow recommendations for seal procurement given in MBD SIL F6137-32-865 issued in November 2009.

Hydraulic connection loosening has been reported at the Braking Plate to which Brake Systems component such as Alternate Brake Dual Valve (5403GG), Alternate Brake Dual Shuttle Valve (5404GG), Alternate Brake Manifold (5405GG), Park Brake Operated Valve (5801GG) and Park Brake Control Valve (4GZ) are fitted. To solve this loose connection issue, on A330/A340-200/300 MSN0728 and subsequent, quality actions were initiated to make sure unions are effectively lubricated during installation. Moreover, on A330/A340 MSN0665 and subsequent (MOD 56013), tightening torque has been increased on 6 hydraulic pipes (12 connections). AMM has been updated, and these changes are reflected in component R/I procedures. Fractures of pipes connected to the Braking Plate have also been experienced. Most affected pipe is pipe PN F3241083100000 (IPC 32-44-03-06A item 100) connected to Brake Accumulators, but a few cases have also been reported on pipes PN F3241032200000, F3241033600000. Modification 200441 modifies brake accumulator line installation. A330-200/300 MSN 1150 and A330 Freighter MSN 1004 and up have been delivered with modification embodied. For aircraft in service, SBs A330-29-3113 and A340-29-4088 were released in August 2010. For more information, refer to TFU 32.43.00.004.

Few cases of Green System leakage due to chafing of pipe IPC 32-31-03-29 item 200, item 40, item 120 and item 170 have been reported. Associated pipe attachment devices have also been found damaged, due to air trapped in the hydraulic lines. As final solution, Airbus issued SBs A330-32-3223 and A340-32-4266 that introduced one automatic bleeder on the RH MLG door uplock line. This automatic bleeder is similar to the ones used on A340-500/600 (TFU 29.00.00.032 refers), which demonstrated a good efficiency. However, even if embodiment of these SBs cancels the previous ISBs A330-29-3102 and A34029-4079, we recommend to check clamps and pipes to ensure that there are no premature failure signs of the uplock lines. For more details, please refer to TFU 29.00.00.034 (closed in May 2008).
Hydraulic flexible hoses in overwing panel area
Since 2003, on A330 and A340-200/300 aircraft, several operators mostly located in the Asia pacific area have reported failures of flexible hoses (20 items) located on the over wing panel area supplying : The normal braking system The pitch trimmer system The main landing Gear retraction/extension system

Tee in Spoiler 5 area
Several operators have reported loosening of the NSA855113 tee connections in the Spoiler N°5 area. The events occurred on both RH and LH wing and on both LP and HP lines. The consequence is a leakage at the loose connection, which could lead to a system loss. As final solution, MOD 53814 introducing swaged connections at the T fittings was issued. This modification is embodied from MSN0702 onwards and is covered by SBA340-29-5007 for A340-500/-600 in service aircraft, and by SB A330-29-3100 for A330-300 increased MTOW (ST8), A330-200 (ST7) aircraft. Following leak reports after SB A330-29-3100 embodiment, OIT SE 999.0073/08/LB was raised to inform operator that new SB revision 02 has been launched. SB A330-29-3100 rev02 validated on aircraft, has been dispatched in July 2009. For more details please refer to TFU 29.11.05.001 (closed in June 2009).
A340 CFM56-5C EDP Case Drain Line
Several operators have reported chafing and sometimes hydraulic leaks i nvolving EDP lower case drain line PN AE708820-1 (Goodrich Rohr PN 340D8661-501). Engineering and flight test led to define a new flexible line with a new routing, available through Goodrich SB RA34029-6.
AIRBUS
SERVICE INFORMATION LETTER
In-line and EDP integrated dampers have not proved to be the solution to the pressure pulsations causing the leaks. Therefore, in order to address this issue, Airbus and Rolls Royce have developed a new case drain line, which replaces the existing rigid pipe with a flexible hose. This new case drain line has been introduced through RR service bulletin RB211-29-C885, covered by Airbus SB A330-29-3077 (production embodiment rank MSN 382).
4.3 Hydraulic pipes:
Hydraulic tubing damage can be categorized into 2 families, chafing and cracking. This damage is usually induced by: A wrong line installation (lack of clearance, stress installation, pipe ovality due to incorrect bending, etc.). Clamping damage (breaking, loosening), spacers’ migration. With time, the hydraulic tubing leaks may increase mainly because of tube chafing. In order to anticipate this potential time-related phenomenon, Airbus recommends inspecting lines for chafing at the opportunity of major maintenance layover. This consists in checking:
AIRBUS
SERVICE INFORMATION LETTER
Any dents, kinks or deformation may hide underlying damage and is cause for hose removal. Replace wire braided hose: If two or more wires in one plait or several wires in a concentrated area are broken, If braid is protected by a neoprene overlay or a chafe guard and wear or chafing into the steel braid has occurred. If there is wear after chafing, measure the width of the wear (W) and the external diameter (D). If W x 100 / D x 3.14 > 10% replace the flexible hose. Refer to figure 284, AMM task 20-23-11991-089. The same installation recommendations as referenced above for rigid pipes apply for flexible hoses. During hose installation make sure to apply counter-torque to avoid twisting or unintended repositioning of the hose leading to a change of its’ routing.
4.5 Seals:
It is normal behaviour that a seal in contact with hydraulic fluid will swell. Swell or increase in volume is almost always accompanied by a decrease in hardness. Excessive swell, usually induced by seal of bad manufacturing quality, will result in marked softening of the rubber which will lead to reduced abrasion and tear resistance, and then they permit extrusion of the seal under high pressure. Consequently, whenever a component or manifold is removed, the interface seals must
AIRBUS
SERVICE INFORMATION LETTER
In order to prevent further issue due to use of seals as per NAS1613 specification from manufacturers not recommended by Airbus, a new seal specification has been defined: EN6109. Oring seals according to this standard are EN6075 and EN6076 seals. Up to date, two suppliers have been qualified and are able to provide these seals: Greene Tweed and Co Inc Polymod Technologies Inc To prevent leak issue related to seals, Airbus recommend operators to purchase the following seals: NAS1611 and NAS1612 from Parker and Le Joint Français only. EN6075 and EN6076 (all qualified suppliers by Airbus, see “seals as per EN6109 specification” section). For further information regarding Hydraulic system seal, please refer to SIL 29-064. In the early 90’s, Airbus did not recommend a large fleet campaign of hydraulic seal replacement. An A330 operator carried out a fleet seal replacement campaign and the results were not satisfactory. The fact is that a fleet replacement campaign on seals is a major disturbance on the hydraulic system, and could therefore introduce more issues rather than providing a real improvement. As general good practice, it is advised to pay particular attention at high-pressure manifolds and at ground service panels for seepage at the opportunity of the scheduled General Visual Inspections as per MPD tasks performed in the landing gear bay. Seepage on a manifold is usually a clear indication of a seal pre-damage calling for preventive rectification.

SERVICE INFORMATION LETTER
MOD 45820 (embodied from A340 A/C MSN 235) introduced adjustable clamps in production to reduce lateral and longitudinal forces through a better control of the pipe installation tolerance build-up. Due to the extent of this modification, it was considered not retrofitable. New sliding unions HTE620196/197 with an enhanced internal sealing arrangement and new bearing were designed for A340-500/600 A/C in order to address the sensitivity to stress induced by side loads and therefore the hydraulic leakage issue, experienced on PNs HTE620071-1/72-1. After having been tested during A340-500/-600 flight test, sliding unions PN HTE620196 and PN HTE620197 have replaced the sliding unions PN HTE620071-1 and PN HTE620072-1 on A330/ A340 basic aircraft too. For more detail, please refer to VSB HTE620071-1-29-1. Side loads on the sliding union will appear if the sliding union is not correctly installed following the requirement of AMM 29-11-47 or if the counter wrench is not used to tighten lines equipped with sliding unions. This will generate torsion loads on the lines that will induce side loads on the sliding unions. The dynamic seal of the sliding union is more efficient under high pressure. This is why a leakage test with low pressure (7.3 psi) is more critical than a check under nominal system pressure regarding deformation of O-rings in the grooves. Consequently, the external leak limit for sliding unions is defined as follows: Hydraulic system pressurized: Slight seepage without formation of a drop. Hydraulic system unpressurized: 1 drop / 10 minutes. This has to be taken into account to avoid unnecessary sliding union removal due to seepage with the hydraulic system in the unpressurized condition.

SERVICE INFORMATION LETTER
If one or more parts you assemble are new, the double torque procedure shall be applied. This double torque procedure can be found in AMM 20-23-11 and is applied on the production line since mid 1997 giving good results.
Cracked unions and sleeves on Titanium pipes
Several sleeves ASNA3759 and few unions ASNA3760 swaged on high-pressure hydraulic pipes have been reported by some operators cracked with no leakage. Further investigations have demonstrated that the cracks were induced by stress corrosion. Several tests have been performed showing that cracked sleeves are more robust that cracked unions which could lead to a leakage. Therefore, Inspection Service Bulletin has been issued in order to recommend repetitive visual inspection of all unions ASNA3760 located in non-pressurized areas. Moreover, to enhance corrosion prevention, it is recommended after the inspection to apply corrosion preventive compound on the inspected non-cracked unions ASNA3760. In case of cracked union finding, the affected pipe must be repaired as per AMM 20-23-11 or replaced. The final solution consists in changing the heat treatment of the fittings (sleeve : ASNA3759 and union : ASNA3760) from H900/H925 to H1075 in order to avoid stress corrosion cracking. The new unions (New PN: ASNA3760VAxx) are now available and new pipes are being manufactured for installation on production line aircraft. Due to lead-time for pipe manufacturing, before MSN 1020, aircraft will have mixed pre & post union configurations. The full embodiment i.e. with new unions and new pipes only, as per Mod 58346, will be effective from MSN 1020 onwards, with new pipe identification. The new sleeves are also available but due to the confirmed low impact, they will be incorporated without identification change. For more
