A clamp is an installation tool used to connect hoses and fittings. Its main function is to ensure a stronger connection between the hose and the fitting. In addition, it can prevent fluid leakage at the connection, ensuring operational safety and environmental protection. At the same time, the clamp can withstand the pressure and vibration in the pipeline and maintain the stability of the connection.
Clamps are widely used in fluid transmission connections in the fields of automobiles, machinery, ships, compressors, industrial hydraulics, mining equipment, etc. The correct selection and use of clamps is essential to ensure the safety and stability of the pipeline system.
Steps for using clamps
Prepare the hose
First, prepare the hose to be tightened. Make sure that the inner diameter of the hose matches the required clamp size.
Install the clamp
Put the hose end into the clamp and tighten the clamp band with pliers. Then insert the clamp band into the clamp head. Gently loosen your hand and the clamp can clamp the hose.
Adjust the clamp
After installing the clamp, you need to adjust the tightness of the clamp to achieve the ideal tightening effect. Usually, just loosen it appropriately to ensure that the hose is not subjected to excessive pressure when connected.
Check the tightening effect
After installing and adjusting the clamp, you need to check whether the tightening effect meets the requirements. You can gently pull the hose by hand to ensure that the hose is firmly fixed on the clamp.
