Clamps come in many sizes, from 1 inch to 10 inches. How to choose the correct hose clamp size, here are some tips:
When purchasing hose clamps, it’s crucial to know the exact outer diameter of the pipe or hose you need to secure. This diameter should be measured in millimeters. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure you choose the correct hose clamp:
1. Measure the Pipe’s Outer Diameter: Accurately measure the outer diameter of the pipe or hose in millimeters. This measurement is critical for selecting the right clamp size.
2. Refer to the Sizing Chart: Once you have the precise outer diameter, use AnYou chart to find the appropriate hose clamp model.
– The adjustment range of the clamp must be greater than the minimum diameter and less than or equal to the maximum diameter for proper use.
– For example: Hose Clamp 48-51mm
For a hose clamp labeled as 48-51mm:
Minimum Diameter: The clamp can shrink to a minimum diameter of 48mm.
Maximum Diameter: The clamp can expand to a maximum diameter of 51mm.
This means the hose clamp is suitable for use on pipes with an outer diameter anywhere between 48mm and 51mm. The clamp can be tightened down to fit snugly at 48mm or loosened to accommodate up to 51mm.
3. Account for Slight Adjustments: Hose clamps can typically accommodate a slight expansion in their range. For instance, if your pipe’s outer diameter is exactly 52 mm, a clamp with a range of 48-51 mm should fit tightly.
4. Double-Check with Us: If there’s any uncertainty about the correct size or type of hose clamp, contact us. It’s better to confirm beforehand to avoid any potential issues or unnecessary costs.
