Tube clamps are devices used to secure and hold tubes, pipes, and hoses in place within a piping system. They help reduce movement, impact, and vibration in fluid control applications. Various types of tube clamps are available, including pinch clips, valve clips, and hydraulic pipe clamps, which are specifically designed for different uses in fluid systems.Tube Clamps Type:
- Circular Tube Clamps: These clamps secure round tubes and are often used in scaffolding and structural applications.
- L-Shaped Clamps: These clamps help fasten tubes at right angles and are frequently used in framing and construction.
- U-Clamps (or U-Bolts): Shaped like the letter “U,” these clamps wrap around the tube and are typically used for securing pipes and cables to surfaces.
- Pipe Clamps: Designed for piping systems, these clamps hold pipes together or to walls. They often include rubber liners to protect the pipe surface.
- Angle Bracket Clamps: These are used to connect and stabilize tubes at an angle and are often found in furniture or framework assemblies.
- Spring Clamps: These clamps use a spring mechanism to hold tubes together or secure them against surfaces, allowing for quick connections.
- Adjustable Clamps: Featuring a mechanism to tighten or loosen the grip, these clamps can accommodate different tube sizes.
- Snap Clamps: These can quickly clamp onto tubes without needing additional tools and are commonly used in temporary setups or displays.
