I am still not convinced that simply bending a line in a circle controls hammering or that there is enough hammering in a clutch circuit to worry about,, nor am I convinced that the loop in a steel line in a truck is more expensive than additional rubber lines and fittings.
I didn`t think the subject was friction?????
What calculation applies to hammering control in the circled line???
I am starting to think my curiosity got the best of me. Looking for a simple straight forward short answer here is impossible. This crap belongs on a scientific forum, not here, especially without documentation.
Jimmie, at first you agreed with Terry`s answer but found it necessary to add un needed info to it but if I am reading correctly you now dissagree with him and feel the only reason for the bent line is hammering???

I'm not here to convince you, just trying to provide the correct information & documentation to support the fact that what you see is a surge coil. Do I have to explain the whole of fluid properties in a hydraulic system?

I hoped you & others would see that it is a large & complex subject and that this surge coil is not some simple thing at all.

Which calculation explains? As in which ONE? It isn't ONE, it takes lots of pencil scratching to get the answers using several formulas or equations. It already took a huge chunk of space just for what's posted, which explains it when formulas & information given are applied.

I posted that the purpose of the loop is as a surge coil. It may also absorb some motion depending on how it's used, but it does not absorb motion on Town Wagon & Town Panel, which therefore says it has another primary purpose. That purpose has been explained above as much as I'm going to explain it. My assertion that it is a surge coil is proven by the information I posted, regardless of who understands or misunderstands it all. It's right there!

You say the information I posted doesn't belong here, but on a scientific forum. I am simply answering a couple of questions from Mike's original post:

"Finally, the line that runs from my clutch master cylinder to the slave cylinder has a loop in it right before it bends down and goes vertical to the slave cylinder. Is this correct? I'm assuming the loop is there to help get rid of air when bleeding the system. I've never seen this loop before on other hydraulic clutch systems and wonder if it's really needed."

I have answered those questions.
