Clamps are indispensable and very common fasteners that are used in various fields of activity. These mounting accessories are most in demand in places where there are pipe and cable connections. Products are classified according to some parameters. Their most important characteristics are material and targets. The most "running" - plastic and metal devices.
A metal screed is stronger and more durable than a plastic counterpart. But the plastic clamp is cheaper. They are used for a variety of purposes: connecting hoses,
pipes, wire
fasteners , etc.
The plastic clamp also has its advantages. It can be used for pipe connections of various degrees of mobility. Due to the specifics of such a material as plastic, devices made of it can be used both for rigid and for movable fixing of pipe joints, hoses and wires.
Plastic clamps are very profitable and practical, since their reliability is quite high, and they cost less than metal ones. Moreover, the plastic clamp is not susceptible to corrosion, less susceptible to various aggressive environments and can be painted in different colors.
Plastic clamp (screed) is very popular in everyday life. For such an application, the safety margin of plastic is enough. They are successfully used for marking, fastening and banding of cables and wiring during electrical work, and also provide very reliable fastening and make installation easy. Metal screeds are often used in critical areas where you need to create a heavy-duty connection.
These devices are integral and double (in two parts). Whole products are most often made of plastic, and double ones are also made of metal. Double ties (worm) consist of the device itself and the screw, with which you can adjust (within reasonable limits) the diameter of the connection section. This is the advantage of a double clamp. Double accessories can have one or two screws. Their parameters are similar. It all depends on the preference of the master (with which device he is more comfortable and comfortable to work with).
There are a great variety of clamps. Each view is designed to perform certain tasks and has specific technical characteristics. For example, there are spiral clamps for reinforced hoses, power products for thick-walled hoses working with very high loads in difficult conditions, wire ties for conditions with high and constant vibration, heat-resistant ties, resistant to high temperatures and others. It is necessary to select the device for a specific type of connection and operation parameters. These data are the most important when choosing a clamp. After all, the term of operation (durability) and the reliability of the product depend on proper selection.
Despite the development of new technologies, a worthy replacement for the clamps has not yet been found. Today screeds are the most reliable and durable type of fastening.
