Clamps are commonly used accessories for kitchens and car engines. The purpose is to fix the hose. It can prevent the liquid in the hose from leaking at the connection point. The clamp is an essential accessory for many household repair and maintenance hoses.
A suitable clamp can distribute the pressure evenly around the hose. You can find different sizes of clamps made of various materials (such as stainless steel). Choosing the wrong clamp size can cause leakage. The key elements to consider when choosing a clamp include:
Torque
The torque exerted on the connection is an important consideration. Over torquing results in a weaker connection. Take note: more is not always better, especially when using worm drive hose clamps.
material
The use of high-quality stainless steel clamps cannot be overemphasized. In addition, it is important to note that the correct stainless steel grade is used in any given application.
However, not all stainless steels are the same. Recently, some low-quality stainless steel clamps have been put on the market, and users have reported damage during use.
Bandwidth
When you are determining the correct bandwidth, consider the strength required, and the torque load transferred to the connection. The majority of standard clamps are 9/16” in bandwidth.
Clamping diameter:
Usually, if you install the parts easily and there is no excess material sticking out after the clamp is fully tightened, it will help.
According to your project, there are a variety of clamps to choose from. The following are the most common clamps.
