What are Tubeclo Tube Clamps

1. What is a Tubeclo tube clamp used for?

The clamp body is a square plastic design with a ribbed bore enabling secure fixing while allowing a high degree of sound deadening and tube vibration. It applies in industries such as:

Oil & Gas Production – Tube or hoses line above and below water have to continuously withstand extreme loads. Salt water, wind, oil grease and broad differences in temperature all take their toll on the fastening systems which installation clamp assembly helps to minimize the outlay for maintenance and simplify the overall line running.
Wind Farms (Onshore & Offshore) – Extreme forces impact on tube, pipes and hose lines fitted in wind farms on land and at sea. It minimizes the outlay for maintenance and simplifies line running.

Double Stacking Standard Series Clamp Complete Set

Shipbuilding – Building oil tanker, cargo ship, and cruise ship or luxury private yacht. Tube clamps offer maximum reliability in wind, waves and inclement weather, while simultaneously increasing passenger comfort through optimum vibration and noise reduction.
Plant Construction & Industrial Hydraulics – High performance hydraulic systems and reliable power supply are indispensable for industrial machinery when constant operation of efficient manufacturing processes. The tube clamps installation is to ensure that hydraulic line and electrical cable installation at the facilities is well protected and maintained with the minimum space requirement.

Double Stacking Heavy Series Clamp Complete Set

Mining – Tube and hose lines are constantly applied to excessive stress in tunnel construction or during deep mining. Tube clamp minimizes the outlay for maintenance and simplifies line running in limited space. It is being used on the Panama Canal and European railway tunnels.
Railway Rolling Stock Construction – Passenger trains, trams and underground trains are complex transportation systems with countless hydraulic, water and electrical lines. Tube clamps ensure that all supply network lines can be optimally installed and it can be custom-made according to project specifications, for instance in the form of a milled or injected design. For example: European railway standard, EN45545.

Double Stacking Twin Series Clamp Complete Set

Vehicle Construction & Mobile Hydraulics – Construction cranes and create mixers as well as other utility vehicles, construction machines and agricultural machinery all operate with constant high pressure hydraulic system application. Tube clamp ensures that vehicle hydraulic lines are securely installed and remained firmly fixed in their original position.

2. What is the material to make of Tubeclo tube clamps?

One set of complete clamp body consists two identical clamp halves which are the top and bottom halves. Tube clamps are made of 3 common material, polypropylene, polyamide and aluminium.

There are alternative ways for clamps assembly according to project requirement.
Here are some basic installation instructions:

Installation with bottom base plate

Step 1: Place the bottom base plates in designated positions. Kindly double check the position is suitable for the calculated loads.
Step 2: Adjust the position of bottom base plates to ensure correct alignment.
Step 3: Weld the bottom base plate into position. Alternatively, elongated bottom base plate can also be mounted to their positions by using hex bolt or Allan cap screw.
Step 3: Push bottom half halve clamp onto bottom base plate.
Step 4: Insert tube, hose or cable and then place second half halve clamp and cover plate on top. Mount clamp assembly by using hex bolt and Allan cap screw.

Heavy Duty Rail Nut

Installation on mounting rail

Step 1: Place mounting rails in designated positions. Kindly double check the bases are suitable for the calculated loads.
Step 2: Adjust the position of mounting rail to ensure best alignment.
Step 3: Weld mounting rails into position. Mounting rails can be mounted to their positions by using side-mounting brackets with hex bolt and Allan cap screw.

Step 4: Insert mounting rail nuts into mounting rail and turn until stop to lock for standard or twin series or slide in rail nuts for heavy series.
Step 5: Push bottom half halve clamp body onto rail nuts.
Step 6: Insert tube, hose or cable and then place another half halve clamp and cover plate on top. Mount clamp assembly by using hex bolt and Allan cap screw.

Installation on multi-level/stacking

Step 1: Push first half halve clamp onto bottom base plate or rail nuts.
Step 2: Insert tube, hose or cable and place second half halve clamp on top.
Step 3: Insert stacking bolts into the clamp assembly and tighten using the recommended tightening torques
Step 4: Place safety locking plate on top before clamp assembly. Proceed with next levels. Top level to be assembled with cover top plate and hexagon head bolts.
