Hydraulic pipe clamp is certainly a simple and easy small industrial product, but it plays very important role in hydraulic systems in various modern industries such as plant engineering, machine manufacturing, equipment and facility installation, ship building, marine, mining, chemical, and so forth. As hydraulic pipe clamps are used for pipe, tube, hose and cable installation and clamping, we even will say that wherever there is a pipe, tube, hose, cable, there ought to be a pipe clamp required.
The most popular forms of pipe clamps in hydraulic systems are DIN 3015 series pipe clamps. These types of pipe clamps have big advantages in cutting the vibration and noise, which will greatly ensure that the safety, leak-free, top quality and easy repair off the hydraulic systems.
Some hydraulic pipe clamp usually is include clamp body (clamp halves) and mounting hardware. The clamp bodies are the primary part for clamping the pipes, tube or hoses. Normally there are three main different materials for clamp body which are PP plastic, PA nylon, Aluminum.
The mounting hardware is made for mounting the pipe clamp halves. Clamp halves are mounted with cover plate, bolts and welded base plate or rail nuts. The bottom plate is welded on some strut, along with the rail nut is threaded for the channels. The most popular materials for pipe clamp mounting hardware are carbon steel, 304 stainless and 316 stainless. To prevent the carbon steel mounting hardware from rusting and corrosion, we usually do zinc coat (galvanized), zinc nickle coat, hot dip-zinc coat surface treatment.
DIN 3015 Chinese tube clamps can be split up into three main sub-types based on the sub standards, which are light duty pipe clamps designed based on DIN 3015 part 1, robust pipe clamps designed based on DIN 3015-2, and double pipe clamps designed based on DIN 3015-3. Light duty pipe clamps are used for applications under normal mechanical pressure or light vibration, the inside diameters array of the clamp hole for light duty pipe clamps is 6 mm to 102 mm. Durable pipe clamps are frequently applied to applications under heavy mechanical pressure or older vibration, this sort of pipe clamps are with thicker wall thickness, stronger mounting hardware than light duty type. Sometimes we have to clamping two pipes or hoses in parallel, in such cases we have to use a double pipe clamp, also is called twin pipe clamps.
Alongside the above three main types, there are multiple pipe clamps which may clamp 4 to 12 tubes in parallel, this sort of pipe clamp can help to conserve mounting space greatly; and there are anti-vibration pipe clamps with rubber insert for applications that want vibration-free conditions.
There are several factories and suppliers of pipe clamps in the world, some of them with very good quality such as Walter Stauffenberg GmbH & Co. KG (Stauff), Parker in Germany and Younglee Metal Products Co., Ltd in China. Stauff is the most famous production of pipe clamps in the world and Younglee Metal Products Co., Ltd is also a high quality Chinese pipe clamps manufacture for countless years. They both have main products including light duty pipe clamps, robust pipe clamps, double pipe clamps, flat steel pipe clamps based on DIN 3567 A/B, U bolt pipe clamps and so forth.
Actually together with the developing of Chinese manufacturing industry, many of the Chinese products are with quite good quality, Chinese hydraulic pipe clamp is just one of such products. Especially some high quality Chinese manufactures provides the 1st class quality level products in the world.
What exactly are good quality pipe clamps? Top quality pipe clamps must have the below features just like good quality raw materials, accuracy dimensions, high strength of cloth, good surface quality, high corrosion resistance, good anti-rust performance and durable being used.
Using the rapid developing with the modern industries in lots of countries specifically in some developing countries, we will have that DIN 3015 hydraulic pipe clamps could be more and much more frequently used in several industries, so though it is small, pipe clamp industry could be more and much more important to modern manufacturing industries in the world.
