Can Shell clamp for installation of steam ends, SSC be used with hoses having wall thicknesses outside the nominal clamp range, and how does that affect steam sealing up to +230Â°C?

Shell clamp for installation of steam ends, SSC can only be used with hoses whose wall thickness falls within the clampâs specified nominal range. The clamp must be chosen by matching the hose inner diameter and the hose wall thickness so that the hoseâs outer diameter when mounted lies inside the clampâs allowable range. Using SSC with hoses having wall thicknesses outside that nominal range is not recommended . the clamp may not achieve correct compression and sealing of the steam end, compromising steam tightness and safety. When correctly selected and installed (including preliminary tightening with long auxiliary screws), Shell clamp for installation of steam ends, SSC provides steam sealing up to the rated operating temperature of +230Â°C. If the hose wall thickness is too large or too small for the clamp range, sealing performance for saturated steam (up to the specified working pressure/temperature limits) cannot be guaranteed and may lead to leaks or clamp failure.

Can Shell clamp for installation of steam ends, SSC be used on hoses with wall thickness outside its nominal range and still ensure safe steam operation up to +230Â°C?

Shell clamp for installation of steam ends, SSC Format: No - the clamp must be selected for the hose inner diameter and wall thickness according to the clampâs nominal range so that the mounted hose outer diameter lies within the specified clamp range. Using the SSC on hoses with wall thickness outside its nominal range would prevent proper fit and torque, risking leakage or failure under steam up to +230Â°C. For safe steam operation (saturated steam up to +210Â°C, specified rating up to +230Â°C) use only clamps sized per the manufacturerâs nominal wallâthickness/diameter limits and follow tightening procedure (including long auxiliary screws for preliminary tightening).

Can Shell clamp for installation of steam ends, SSC be used on hoses with inner diameters at the extremes of the clamp's specified range without compromising steam sealing?

Shell clamp for installation of steam ends, SSC Format: No. using the clamp at the extreme limits of its nominal inner-diameter range risks compromising steam sealing unless specific conditions are met. Explanation (concise): - The clamp must be selected by matching the clamp nominal size to the hose inner diameter AND the hose wall thickness so the mounted hose outer diameter falls within the clampâs specified range. If the hose OD sits at either extreme of that range, clamping performance can be marginal. - Proper sealing for saturated steam (up to +210Â°C, 18 bar) requires firm and even radial compression. At extremes of the range the clamp may not provide sufficient or uniformly distributed compression, especially on thicker or thinner walls, reducing seal integrity. - Correct installation practice requires preliminary tightening with long auxiliary screws and using the appropriate clamp material (AISI 316 or brass) for the application. Selection must follow EN 14423 (DIN 2826) and consider hose construction and application conditions. - Recommendation: avoid relying on an extreme OD fit. Choose the next closest nominal clamp size or confirm with manufacturer/TUBES INTERNATIONALÂ® that the specific hose OD and wall thickness will allow adequate compression and steam sealing before use.
