Hi All :
How do we find the axial load a pipe a take before it slips from the Hose Clamps at the expansion joint ?
I have two aluminium pipes wrapped around by Ventglas Sheet( Forming an expansion Joint). The Ventglas sheet is clamped to the aluminium pipe using 4 hose clamps, two on each side. The specification of the clamp is as follows :
Torque : 35 in-lbs.
Band Width : 9/16"
Band Thickness : 0.022"
SAE No. 188.
Now, I need to figue out the maximum axial load the pipe can take before the clamp slips out from the pipe. What approach is to be taken to the same.
Thanks
