Help with Hose Clamps and Band Clamps specifications:

Type


	Type		Clamps, generally made of a band and screw housing, are commonly attached around the hose at the fitting to provide a tight seal and prevent leaks.
	Your choices are...
	Band Clamps		Band clamps feature a smooth inside diameter to provide a uniform clamping surface to prevent a leak path. The smooth diameter also reduces the risk of abrasion and puncture damage to soft hoses.
	Ear Clamps		Ear clamps have ears on the perimeter of clamp for tightening. Ears are crimped with a tool to tighten the clamp.
	Snap / Ratchet Clamps		Snap close clamps are closed and tightened by a snapping or ratcheting mechanism. Tightening can typically be done by hand.
	Spring Hose Clamps		Spring hose clamps uses spring action to tighten. Using a tool, the clamp is expanded to fit into position. Once placed, spring action of clamp holds and secures in position.
	T-Bolt Band Clamps		Band clamps that use a T-bolt for tightening.
	V-Band Clamps		V-band clamps are circular clamps tightened by a screw. They have a "V" profile for drawing together two mating flanges.
	Worm Drive Hose Clamps		Worm drive hose clamps have a worm drive mechanism for tightening. They are typically used to tighten a hose onto a fitting.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary clamp.

Specifications


	Capacity / Opening		Size the clamp is designed to hold.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Clamping Width		Width of clamp or clamp jaws.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Clamping Force		The clamping force, or holding force, is the force the closed arm transmits to the workpiece, without itself being deformed when machine forces apply. When maximum force is reached, the hinged point goes over the dead centre, there by insuring, that the action is locked and cannot be released until such time as the handle is returned to its original position.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Plunger Travel (for Push/Pull Clamps Only)		The overall plunger travel for straight line or push/pull clamps only.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

Material


	Material
	Your choices are...
	Aluminum		The clamp body is primarily manufactured from aluminum. Aluminum is a bluish, silver-white, malleable, ductile, light, trivalent, metallic element that has good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation.
	Copper Alloy		The clamp body is primarily manufactured from a copper alloy, such as brass or bronze. Alloys have significant amounts of intentionally-added alloying elements or constituents.
	Cast Iron		The clamp body is primarily manufactured from cast iron. The term "cast iron" refers not to a single material, but to a family of materials whose major constituent is iron, with important trace amounts of carbon and silicon. Cast irons are natural composite materials whose properties are determined by their microstructures - the stable and metastable phases formed during solidification or subsequent heat treatment. The major microstructural constituents of cast irons are: the chemical and morphological forms taken by carbon, and the continuous metal matrix in which the carbon and/or carbide are dispersed.
	Plastic		The clamp body is primarily manufactured from plastic. Plastic refers to any of numerous organic, synthetic, or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight and that can be made into objects, films, or filaments.
	Stainless Steel		The clamp body is primarily manufactured from stainless steel. Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high pressure ratings.
	Steel		The clamp body is primarily manufactured from steel. Steel is a commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. It is malleable when under suitable conditions, and is distinguished from cast iron by its malleability and lower carbon content.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialty or proprietary material.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
