Hose clamps
Hose clamps are parts that are used to attach the hose to the fitting and help create a tight, even and reliable connection. They squeeze the hose tightly against the connector inside the hose and thus prevent the hose from coming loose or leaking fluid. When choosing a hose clamp, it is important to consider at least the following:-
- Hose size: The most important thing is to choose the right size hose clamp for the size of the hose.
- Hose material: There are different types of hose clamps for different hose materials, such as steel hoses, rubber or plastic hoses.
- Tightening force: The tightening force of hose clamps must meet the needs of the hose and connector. Clamps with very high compression force are not recommended for soft hoses, which will not damage the hose.
- Installation: Some hose clamps are very easy to use and easy to install, for example by hand. Some of the hose clamps require the screws in the clamps to be tightened. When installing the clamps, be careful not to tighten them too much, so that the clamp is not damaged.
- Clamp type: There are different types of hose clamps for different needs. For example, the so-called double clamps are tightened alternately from both sides of the clamp, which enables even tightening. In this way, the pressure is not applied to just one point, which prevents damage from occurring. These work as good universal clamps for connections of demanding objects and challenging conditions, such as water and compressed air hoses, hydraulic suction hoses or hoses for tank trailers.
The sheet metal sleeve for hose is designed to ensure the reliability and durability of hose connections in low-pressure applications. Made of galvanized steel, the sleeve offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for demanding industrial environments. Installation is quick and easy, but requires a separate pressing device, such as a hand press or hydraulic press. The sheet metal sleeve is especially popular in fuel lines, where a more secure connection than a clamp is required. Applications Fuel lines, hydraulic systems, low pressure hoses Industries Automotive industry, chemical industry, oil and gas industry Benefits The metal sleeve provides a reliable connection that improves safety and reduces the risk of leaks. Its galvanized steel construction ensures a long service life even in demanding conditions. Risks Installation requires the right type of crimping tool, which can be challenging without the right equipment. Improper installation can lead to joint deterioration and leaks. Hoses Compatible with most hoses. Chemical resistance Galvanized steel is highly resistant to most industrial chemicals, but is not recommended for use in strongly acidic environments.
