Can SSC Shell Clamp for Steam End Installation be used with hoses exceeding the specified wall thickness and still maintain safe clamping at +210°C and 18 bar?

SSC Shell Clamp for Steam End Installation cannot be recommended for use with hoses that exceed the specified wall thickness if you need to guarantee safe clamping at +210°C and 18 bar. These clamps are engineered to hold hoses whose assembled external diameter falls within the specified clamping range; correct selection based on the hose’s internal diameter and wall thickness is mandatory to ensure proper engagement and sealing. Using a hose with greater-than-specified wall thickness may prevent the clamp from closing and distributing load correctly, compromising the clamp’s grip, sealing integrity and safe pressure performance at elevated temperature. If a hose exceeds the specified wall thickness, consult TUBES INTERNATIONAL® to identify an appropriate clamp model or a custom solution (material, size or design) validated for saturated steam at +210°C and 18 bar. Only a properly specified SSC Shell Clamp for Steam End Installation or an approved alternative can ensure safe, durable operation.

Can SSC Shell Clamp for Steam End Installation be used on hoses with larger internal diameters while still keeping the assembled hose within the specified clamping range at +210°C and 18 bar?

Yes — but only if the assembled hose (taking into account its wall thickness and the steam fitting) still falls within the SSC Shell Clamp for Steam End Installation specified clamping range at the working conditions (+210°C, 18 bar). Key points: - The clamp must be selected based on the hose’s internal diameter and wall thickness so the external assembled diameter remains inside the clamp’s allowable range. - Using a hose with a larger internal diameter is acceptable provided its overall assembled external diameter does not exceed the clamp’s maximum range at operating temperature and pressure. - Remember thermal expansion and pressure effects; verify the assembled diameter at service temperature (+210°C) since clamps are rated up to +230°C. - Use long auxiliary screws for initial positioning and correct tightening during assembly. - For borderline or non‑standard combinations, consult TUBES INTERNATIONAL® to confirm compatibility and safety. In short: SSC Shell Clamp for Steam End Installation can be used with larger-ID hoses only if the final assembled external diameter stays within the clamp’s specified clamping range under the stated service conditions.

Additional information

Material	SS – stainless steel
Standard length [m]	152.4, 40, 50, 50/ 100

Heavy Duty shell clamps in the economical version are designed for secure and reliable installation of rubber hoses used for steam applications, ensuring optimal performance when mounting SSF type steam fittings. Produced in compliance with EN 14423 (DIN 2826), these clamps guarantee durability and safety in demanding operating conditions. Depending on the model, screws and nuts are manufactured either from galvanized steel for brass clamps or from stainless steel for stainless steel clamps, providing excellent resistance to corrosion and long service life. The correct clamp must be chosen based on the hose’s internal diameter and wall thickness, ensuring that the external diameter of the assembled hose remains within the specified clamping range. For initial tightening, long auxiliary screws are required to achieve proper positioning and secure fastening. Available in high-quality AISI 316 stainless steel or robust brass, these clamps are engineered to withstand operating temperatures up to +230°C and working pressures of 18 bar at +210°C with saturated steam. For other applications, the appropriate selection should be made in consultation with TUBES INTERNATIONAL®, ensuring the most efficient and safe solution tailored to specific industrial requirements.
