Design and Analysis of Hose Clamp

Abstract

A hose is attached to and sealed off of a fitting such a barb or nipple using a hose clamp, hose clip, or hose lock. This study examines the relationship between experimental results and theoretical models to analyse the bending stress in hose clamps. in the experiment, stiff cylinder was encircled by flat section band clamps, and strain and related displacement were measured. To steadily increase torque till failure, the clamp nut was tightened. The theoretical torque value and the torque obtained from FEM analysis are compared and further analyzed to prepare the hose clamp.
