What torque should be used when tightening the Stainless Steel Two-Part Hose Clamp with Loose Tongue to ensure a leak-free seal at 16 bar?

For the Stainless Steel Two-Part Hose Clamp with Loose Tongue, a specific tightening torque depends on hose material, hose diameter, and mating fitting. As a practical starting recommendation to achieve a leak-free seal at up to 16 bar: - Use a torque of 8–12 Nm for clamp diameters up to ~50 mm. - Use 12–18 Nm for diameters ~50–100 mm. - For diameters above ~100 mm, increase progressively to 18–30 Nm, checking hose compression and seal. Always tighten evenly in small increments, alternating sides if applicable, and avoid exceeding the clamp’s yield. Verify seal by pressure testing at working pressure (16 bar) after installation. For final confirmation, consult the hose and fitting manufacturers’ torque recommendations and, if available, the clamp maker’s technical data sheet.

Can the Stainless Steel Two-Part Hose Clamp with Loose Tongue be used with hoses and fittings for temperatures below -40°C without affecting its 16 bar rating?

Stainless Steel Two-Part Hose Clamp with Loose Tongue: Yes — the clamp itself, made from AISI 316 stainless steel and designed to DIN 20039 A, retains its mechanical integrity at low temperatures and will not inherently lose its 16 bar capability simply because the ambient or fluid temperature falls below −40°C. However, the clamp’s rated 16 bar performance depends on the entire assembly: the specific hose material and the end fitting must also be rated for temperatures below −40°C and maintain their sealing, flexibility and mechanical properties at that temperature. If the hose and fitting become brittle, shrink, or otherwise degrade below −40°C, the assembly may leak or fail even though the clamp remains sound. Conclusion: the Stainless Steel Two-Part Hose Clamp with Loose Tongue can be used at temperatures below −40°C without affecting its own 16 bar capacity, provided the chosen hose and fittings are themselves suitable for those temperatures and the assembly is correctly installed.
