Extreme Bolt offers a range of hose clamps crafted from premium materials like Titanium and Hastelloy C276. This newsletter provides an overview of the two main styles available—worm drive and medium duty—and highlights which materials might suit your specific needs best.
Currently, we stock Titanium Grade 2 hose clamps in various sizes. For those requiring custom solutions, Hastelloy C276 hose clamps are manufactured to order for any size you need.
Let’s start with the **Worm Drive Style**:
This clamp features a slotted band that tightens via a screw threading through the slots, functioning much like a gear when tightened. It’s exclusively available in Titanium Grade 2.
**Benefits:**
- Cost-effective and reusable.
- Easy to install using just a standard screwdriver.
- Can be installed without disconnecting the hose.
**Drawbacks:**
- The slats may bend under increased tension.
- Repeated use can lead to deformation of the slats.
- A flat spot beneath the screw can cause uneven pressure distribution.
Next up is the **Medium Duty** style:
Unlike worm drive clamps, these rely on a nut-and-bolt mechanism to secure the ends together. They are available in both Titanium and Hastelloy options.
**Advantages:**
- Creates a perfect circular band ensuring uniform 360-degree clamping and pressure distribution.
- The smooth, solid band prevents damage to the hose.
- Strength depends on bolt torque, not slot strength.
- Ideal for high-pressure applications.
- Can be installed without disconnecting the hose.
**Limitations:**
- Designed specifically for certain diameters.
- Requires removal of the screw and nut for installation.
Now, let's compare **Titanium vs. Hastelloy Hose Clamps**:
Titanium Grade 2 hose clamps boast full resistance to chlorides, hypochlorites, chlorates, perchlorates, and chlorine dioxide. These are perfect for marine applications, offshore oil platforms, bleaching processes, and saltwater environments like desalination plants. On the other hand, Hastelloy C276 hose clamps are engineered for the toughest chemical settings, where they face highly corrosive media such as sulfuric and hydrochloric acids.
In conclusion, choosing between Titanium and Hastelloy depends on your operational conditions. If you're dealing with less aggressive environments, Titanium Grade 2 will suffice. However, if you’re working in extreme chemical settings, Hastelloy C276 is the way to go. Let us know how we can assist further!
