How do you measure a hose clip?
Only measure the outside diameter of the hose when it has been pushed onto the end of the pipe fitting, as often there will be expansion at this point. Once the outside diameter has been measured, check the dynamic range of the hose clamp to ensure that it can be tightened to the correct size.
What is a tube clamp used for?
Tube Clamps. Tube clamps from Grainger can help reduce the harmful effects of mechanical shock and strong vibrations common in fluid power systems and help increase the life of tube, pipe and hose assemblies. Improperly restraining fluid conductors can result in leakage, malfunctions and costly downtime.
