🔍 Key Concepts

• Hydraulic vibration and pressure surges in tubing runs • Purpose of tube supports/anchors in a hydraulic system • How loose or unsupported tubing can fail over time

💭 Think About

• When tubing is not anchored every few feet, what kind of motion or forces will it experience during normal hydraulic operation? • Which choice best describes the long‑term effect of those motions/forces on the tube fittings and connections, rather than on the pump itself? • Think about what anchoring actually restricts: is it temperature change, direction of flexing, or movement caused by vibration/pressure spikes?

✅ Before You Answer

• Focus on the choice that deals with vibration and dynamic loads in the lines, not temperature effects. • Ask: which option would be directly improved by physically securing the tubing to the structure? • Eliminate any answer that mainly concerns internal pump conditions rather than the tubing and its supports.
