Abstract
A fire sleeve is made in the form of an elongated, flexible tube which may serve as a conduit for anything, such as wires, hydraulic lines, fuel hoses, air ducts, or the like. The fire sleeve has an elastomer jacket molded over an inner layer of braided yarn. Various molding techniques are used to improve the jacket-to-braid bonding. The fire sleeve will meet FAA tests wherein it must withstand the temperature of a burning aircraft for a fifteen-minute period before exposing the contents of the sleeve to the fire.
