Technical Usage
Hose clamps are commonly used to secure flexible hoses onto rigid pipes or fittings, ensuring a leak-proof connection. Their stainless steel construction provides excellent resistance to rust and wear, making them suitable for environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, or extreme temperatures. They are vital in applications where consistent pressure and reliability are critical, such as in fuel lines, water systems, and air ducts. Adjustable designs allow for a snug fit, accommodating hoses of varying diameters.

History
Hose clamps were first invented in 1921 by a Swedish engineer, Knut Edwin Bergström, to provide a simple and efficient solution for securing hoses. Over the years, advancements in materials and design have made stainless steel the material of choice, offering unparalleled resistance to corrosion and durability. Today, they are a standard in industries worldwide, with their design evolving to meet modern engineering demands.
