Material and Torque Reference

The corrosion resistance and strength of clamps often depend on the materials used in their manufacture:

Ordinary steel strip + galvanized screws: Economical, suitable for low-corrosion environments

304/300 series stainless steel: Good corrosion resistance, suitable for general water/gas pipelines

316 stainless steel: Higher corrosion resistance, suitable for marine and chemical environments

 

How to Choose the Right Hose Clamp

Measure the hose outer diameter accurately.

Select the appropriate clamp type (American, German, British).

Choose a suitable material (carbon steel, 304, 316 stainless steel).

Consider pressure, vibration, and temperature conditions.

 

Hose clamps, though small, are used in almost all piping systems. Standardized size charts, such as the SAE size breakdown provided by AFT Fasteners, are important reference tools for the engineering, maintenance, and manufacturing industries. Understanding the correspondences between these dimensions and material properties can significantly improve purchasing and maintenance efficiency.
