Abstract

A method is provided for determining the robustness of a tubular assembly in a fluid flow assembly for a hydraulic system and predicting the performance of the endform tubular assembly in high pressure applications, wherein the tubular assembly has inherent features therein that are measured to provide quantified values for assessing the robustness of the assembly and predict the performance of such assembly in high pressure applications for prolonged periods of time.
