Extreme Bolt specializes in providing top-notch hose clamps made from two exceptional materials—Titanium Grade 2 and Hastelloy C276. In this newsletter, we'll take a closer look at the two main styles available: the worm drive and the medium duty clamp. Additionally, we’ll explore which material might be best suited for your specific application.
We currently have Titanium Grade 2 hose clamps in stock, available in the sizes listed here. If you're looking for Hastelloy C276 hose clamps, these are custom-made to order and can be produced in any size required.
**Worm Drive Style**
This style features a slotted band that is tightened by a screw threading through the slots, similar to a gear mechanism when tightened. These clamps are exclusively available in Titanium Grade 2.
*Benefits:*
- Cost-effective and reusable
- Easy installation with just a regular screwdriver
- Can be installed without disconnecting the hose
*Disadvantages:*
- The slats may bend under increased tension
- Slats can become deformed after repeated use
- A flat spot under the screw can lead to uneven tension
**Medium Duty**
In contrast to worm drives, medium duty hose clamps utilize a nut-and-bolt system to directly secure the ends together. These clamps are available in both Titanium and Hastelloy materials.
*Benefits:*
- Creates a perfect circular shape for uniform 360-degree clamping and pressure distribution
- Smooth, solid band prevents damage to the hose
- Strength depends on bolt torque, not slot strength
- Ideal for high-clamping force applications
- Can be installed without disconnecting the hose
*Disadvantages:*
- Made specifically for a certain diameter; not adjustable
- Requires removal of the screw and nut during installation
**Titanium vs. Hastelloy Hose Clamps**
Titanium Grade 2 hose clamps offer full resistance to chlorides, hypochlorites, chlorates, perchlorates, and chlorine dioxide. They excel in environments prone to sea water corrosion, making them perfect for marine vessels, offshore oil rigs, bleaching processes, and saltwater applications like desalination plants. On the other hand, Hastelloy C276 hose clamps are designed for the toughest chemical conditions, withstanding highly corrosive substances such as sulfuric and hydrochloric acids.
Whether you need durable hose clamps for marine or industrial applications, Extreme Bolt has got you covered with our premium Titanium and Hastelloy options. Let us help ensure your systems remain reliable and corrosion-resistant!
