Spring clamps see widespread use in automotive fuel systems and earn high praise from users for their reliability.
Unlike other clamps, the steel-band elastic clamp operates uniquely: it self-adjusts to tighten hoses and directly compensates for gaps caused by loosening.
At room temperature, the clamp remains tight; in high temperatures, the elastic steel band expands, while in low temperatures, it releases energy to re-tighten the hose. This design protects hose surfaces effectively, making it ideal for softer hose connections, saving labor and costs.
Additionally, stainless steel clamps come in various types, such as double-wire, phosphor bronze, and galvanized clamps, and are essential for gas/liquid connections in industrial applications.
Below is a streamlined installation method for spring stainless steel clamps:
Installation Steps:
Prepare the Seal: Flip the sealing ring onto one pipe end, align the second pipe, and flip the ring back to center it between the interfaces. Ensure the gap between pipes meets standard requirements.
Align and Secure: Check pipe alignment for coaxiality. Place the upper/lower clamp over the sealing ring, ensuring the clamp edges fit into the pipe grooves. Press the clamp ears firmly, tap the flanges lightly with a hammer to close the gap, insert bolts, and tighten them evenly with a torque wrench.
Final Check: Verify the clamp flanges are fully seated into the grooves circumferentially.
Following these steps ensures proper installation for reliable operation.
