Corrosive environments are graded from C1 (low levels of corrosion in the environment) to C5 (highest levels of corrosion expected). Walraven manufacture pipe clamps and fixings that are suitable for use in C1-C4 environments. The clamps are split two piece making them ideal for mounting to existing poles already erected. Made from 316L grade stainless steel with stainless M8 (8mm) diameter bolts with nyloc shake proof nuts. 316L is marine grade stainless rust proof. STAUFF guarantees prompt service, even for customised solutions according to customer’s specifications or based on our in-house development. Before you can select the right clamps to deal with thermal expansion, you first need to calculate the level of thermal expansion on the pipework.

Offset pipe clamps manufactured by BPC Engineering. Stainless steel and aluminium. These offset pipe clamps are available in many different sizes from 25mm – 75mm Diameters. Offset Pipe Clamps All of our pipe clamps are made from non-ferrous metals. Stainless steel is ideal for use in areas where corrosion is high. Sizes range from 25mm diameter to 48mm. We can adjust the spacing distancing of the clamps to suit your needs. Pipe Alignment Clamps Offset Pipe Clamps

The complete guide to pipe clamps

Pipe hangers or U Bolts allow the pipe to sit into the bottom section of the clamp. The hanger is typically fixed at the top to a piece of strut. Double pipe clamps manufactured from 316L grade stainless steel, aluminium, brass and copper. Pipe clamp manufacturers BPC Engineering offer a selection of quality British made two port pipe/tube clamps. Double Port Pipe Clamps Materials are 316 stainless steel and aluminium. Products range from single port and double port clamps. We also manufacture multi port pipe clamps. All of our pipe clamps include stainless steel fixings. DN Size Pipe Clamps. Type - There are multiple types of pipe clamp to choose from. We've broken down the most common types below: Pipes made from different materials will react very differently in certain scenarios. For example, there are many different types of plastic pipe (PE, PVC, PA, PP etc). Each has a different temperature resistance, and different resistance levels to chemicals such as oils, greases, acids, chlorine etc. This can affect what type of clamp should be used. For example, plastic pipes should usually be secured with a lined metal clamp or plastic clamp. An unlined metal clamp can lead to corrosion if used on a plastic pipe.

Pipe clamps are a small circular or semi-circular mechanism that is designed to hold and support suspended pipes either vertically or horizontally. Available in a range of types outlined below, pipe clamps are a cost effective and easy way of fixing pipes to your desired surface whilst still allowing for some necessary movement and expansion of the pipes. Full saddle - These types of pipe clamps are secured by two screws, one either side of the semi-circular bulge where the pipe sits. Traditional clamps include split bands, U Bolts and Saddle Clamps, most commonly used to hold steel or copper pipes. They have no internal lining so are best suited to pipes where there are no additional variables to be considered such as temperature or noise insulation. Take a look at our blog which analyses traditional pipe clamps versus heavy duty pipe clamps, to see which is best.

Unlike some other pipe clamp manufacturers, all of our pipe fixings are manufactured within our factories at Walraven. We don’t outsource anything, and so we control the manufacturing process from start to finish. This means we have 100% control over the quality of our products at all times.

The use of non-welded pipe clamps are favourable due to their reliability and strength. Welded components can malfunction under certain conditions. NO welding is involved in the manufacturing of any of our products. Surface treatment - Pipe clamps are often finished with a zinc plating or galvanised to offer added protection against wear and tear. It's worth noting whether a plain, untreated product would suffice or whether a more hardy, coated product is required for your application.Although we specialise in manufacturing stainless steel aluminium and copper pipe clamps. BPC Engineering offer a subcontract presswork service for small batch production. Small parts press work drilling tapping and assembly. We can work with client press tooling or we can design and build tooling to your specifications to produce the components you require. We have a upto date workshop fully equipped with tooling and 8 – 10 tonne pressure presses. You can view our products in the BPC SHOP. The pipe clamps we produce are available in many different diameters. The banding widths are 12mm 25mm 30mm wide. Twin saddle - As it sounds, twin saddle pipe clamps allow for two pipes to be secured next to each other by the same clamp. These are more "U" shaped, with an elongated, flat curve. We go above and beyond when testing our pipe fixings. Not only do we test to RAL approved standards, in-house we test our clamps to destruction, so we know exactly how good they are! Heavy duty clamps have a high safe working load, so are designed for use where a heavy load support is required. They can be used indoors and outdoors and are available both with and without lining. They have modern features to make them easier to fit than traditional clamps. Take a look at how our heavy duty pipe supports were used to secure district heating pipes to the underside of a bridge.

When it comes to selecting the best pipe fixings for a job, there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution. In fact, selecting the best fixings depends on each unique installation environment and application requirements. What needs to be taken into account when selecting the best pipe clamp? Half saddle - Unlike full saddle clamps, these possess only one screw hole to secure the pipe in the clamp. The environment into which your pipe clamp will be installed can affect the type of clamp you should use. For example, if the installation is external and exposed to the weather, this is an important consideration and will more than likely require a pipe clamp with a special coating for corrosion resistance. Many of our standard pipe fixings are available with our special corrosion resistant coating Walraven BIS Ultraprotect for outdoor use. To determine what size pipe clamp you need, the most obvious thing you need to take into account is the size of the pipe. This is usually measured in NB (Nominal Bore) or O/D (Outer Diameter). This will determine the diameter of the pipe clamp that you require. See our handy chart below for converting NB pipe sizes. Compatible pipe diameter - It's crucial that you accurately measure the pipe that you intend to attach to your desired surface. This will ensure that the pipe clamp can hold the pipe in place effectively.

We have been in the pipe fixing business for over 75 years so we have the knowledge and expertise to advise you on how to determine the correct distance between clamps to ensure a safe installation. As a global company, we have invested in state of the art technology which allows us to be as accurate as possible when making calculations and designing effective pipe fixing installations for our customers. It is a well known fact that stainless steel can withstand extreme heat, and with the added bonus of being corrosion resistant makes this type of pipe clamp very favourable. These stainless steel pipe clamps are popular with marine installations and suitable for salt water use. They are corrosion resistant and they can withstand extreme heat.
