What are the different types of concrete pump pipe clamps?
The concrete pump pipe clamp is a key component in the concrete conveying system, used to firmly connect various parts of the pump pipe, ensuring the sealing and safety of the concrete conveying process. As a supplier of concrete pump fittings, we are well aware of the special requirements for pipe clamps in different engineering environments.
What are the specifications and models of commonly used concrete pump pipe clamps
There are various specifications of commonly used concrete pump pipe clamps, such as DN80,DN100, DN125, DN150, DN180, etc. Similarly, there are also high and low pressure types. The type of pipe clamp used is determined based on the specifications of the concrete pump pipe.
The following will introduce the main types and characteristics of concrete pump pipe clamps.
- Standard pipe clamp
Standard pipe clamps are the most common type and are suitable for most conventional concrete pumping operations. This type of pipe clamp is usually made of high-strength steel, with a surface treated with rust prevention, and has the following characteristics:
Adopting bolt fastening design, easy to install
Suitable for standard pump tubes with diameters of 125mm and 150mm
The pressure bearing capacity is generally between 10-15 MPa
Economical price and high cost-effectiveness
Standard pipe clamps are widely used in situations where pressure requirements are not particularly high, such as building construction and municipal engineering. - High pressure type pipe clamp
For special working conditions such as ultra-high pumping or long-distance transportation, high-pressure pipe clamps provide a more reliable connection solution:
Adopting thickened steel plates and reinforced bolt design
The working pressure can reach 20-25MPa
Better sealing performance, reducing the risk of slurry leakage
Often equipped with dual locking devices
This type of pipe clamp is particularly suitable for engineering projects that require high-pressure pumping, such as super high-rise buildings and large bridges. - Quick installation and disassembly type pipe clamp
The quick assembly and disassembly type pipe clamp designed to improve construction efficiency has significant advantages:
Adopting lever or buckle locking mechanism
Quick installation and disassembly without the need for tools
Greatly shorten the pipeline layout time
Suitable for construction scenarios that require frequent disassembly and assembly
This type is particularly popular among leasing companies and construction teams that frequently relocate construction sites. - Wear resistant pipe clamp
For special working conditions of high-grade concrete or abrasive aggregates, wear-resistant pipe clamps adopt special treatment:
Lining made of high wear-resistant alloy or ceramic material
Key parts undergo hardening treatment
The service life is 2-3 times longer than that of ordinary pipe clamps
Fixed locations such as mixing plants suitable for long-term high-intensity use - Special clamp for irregular pipes
In addition to the common types mentioned above, there are also special pipe clamps designed specifically for special-shaped fittings such as elbows and reducers:
Customized design based on the shape of the pipe fittings
Ensure that the irregular parts are firmly connected
Reduce stress concentration phenomenon
Prevent leakage at irregular pipe fittings
