304 stainless steel American type hose clamp

Description

Material characteristics
Strong corrosion resistance: 304 stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. This alloy composition makes it have excellent corrosion resistance, can be used for a long time in a variety of environments without rusting, and prolongs the service life of the hose clamp.
High strength: It has high strength and hardness, can withstand a certain tension and pressure, effectively fix and connect various pipes, ensure the stability of the pipeline system, and is not easy to deform or damage.
Good high temperature resistance: It can still maintain good mechanical properties under a certain high temperature environment, and is suitable for some high temperature pipeline connection occasions, such as the heat pipe around the car engine.
Structural characteristics
Steel belt and screw: It usually consists of a stainless steel belt and a screw. The steel belt is generally flat, with a certain width and thickness, and its surface may have some special textures or treatments to increase friction and tightening effect. The screws are used to adjust the tightness of the steel belt, so as to achieve the clamping and fixing of the pipe.
Rectangular hole groove: The steel belt usually has rectangular hole grooves. This design can provide a stronger and more precise meshing effect, so that the throat clamp can better adapt to the shape and size changes of the pipe when tightening, and increase the tightening force. Compared with other types of throat clamps, such as German throat clamps, American throat clamps have greater torque.
Specifications
Bandwidth: Common bandwidths are 8mm and 12.7mm. Different bandwidths are suitable for pipes with different diameter ranges. For example, a throat clamp with a bandwidth of 8mm is suitable for pipes with smaller diameters, and the diameter range of the pipes that can be clamped is generally 8-29mm; while a throat clamp with a bandwidth of 12.7mm is suitable for pipes with larger diameters, and the diameter range that can be clamped is generally between 18-101mm.
Thickness: The thickness is generally between 0.6mm-0.8mm. Thicker steel strips can provide greater strength and tightening force, but will also increase the weight and cost of the throat clamp accordingly.
Clamping range: The clamping range varies according to different specifications and models. For example, for an American hose clamp with a bandwidth of 12.7mm, the corresponding clamping range of Sae10 is 14-27mm, and the corresponding clamping range of Sae24 is 27-51mm, etc.
Application fields
Automotive industry: It is widely used in the connection of pipe fittings such as the automobile’s intake system, radiator hose, heater hose connection, turbocharger, diesel particulate filter, exhaust gas circulation system, etc., which can ensure the firm connection of these pipes, prevent gas or liquid leakage, and ensure the normal operation of the automobile.
Industrial field: It can be used for the connection and fixation of various industrial pipelines, such as chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and electronic industries. In the chemical industry, it can withstand the corrosion of various chemicals; in the food and pharmaceutical industries, it meets hygiene standards and will not cause pollution to the products.
Home life: It is also used in household appliances, water pipe connections, gardening irrigation, etc. For example, it is used to fix the water inlet pipe of the washing machine, the drain pipe of the air conditioner, etc., to conveniently and quickly achieve the connection and sealing of the pipes.
Agricultural field: It can be used for the connection of pipes such as the hydraulic system and irrigation system of agricultural machinery, and can maintain stable performance under harsh outdoor environmental conditions to ensure the smooth progress of agricultural production.
