How do constant torque clamps work?
The idea behind constant tension clamps is that during tightening, the Belleville washers compress and act like a spring. When the rubber relaxes, the spring action pulls the band through the housing, making the clamp smaller to compensate for shrinkage in the rubber hose.
How do spring hose clamps work?
They are commonly referred to as spring clamps because they apply constant tension on the rubber hose. This matters because as the hoses age, they may harden, soften, swell, or lose their structural rigidity, and spring clamps will continue to apply force on the hose regardless of the condition of the hose.
What are Oetiker clamps?
Established in Switzerland in 1942, the Oetiker Group makes a wide range of connection options for automotive, hydraulic, oil and gas, and other industries. Ear clamps are a fairly simple device for connecting a hose to a pipe or a fitting like a hose barb connection.

Are t-bolt clamps good?
A t-bolt clamp may work well when securing a sili- cone section to stronger, thick steel piping, but from our experience, it simply does not provide the correct clamping force when applied to lightweight aluminum piping which we have illus- trated in this image below.

What is a constant torque clamp?
Breeze Constant-Torque® The Breeze CONSTANT-TORQUE® is a breakthrough in clamping technology. A belleville spring mechanism permits the CONSTANT-TORQUE® clamp to automatically increase or decrease its own diameter due to changes in operational or environmental temperatures. This unique design eliminates “cold flow” leaks.
