This custom sanitary quick-release clamp is manufactured from 2205 duplex stainless steel for hygienic pipe connections requiring higher strength and improved resistance to chloride-bearing environments. Its two-piece hinged ring opens around compatible sanitary ferrules, while the threaded wing nut draws the clamp profile evenly onto the joint. Light, medium-duty thickened, and heavy-duty thickened constructions are available to suit different sizes and service conditions.

Product Views
The gallery shows the single clamp profile, front and reverse faces, and a comparison of light, medium-duty, and heavy-duty constructions. The images support initial selection, but production dimensions and duty class must be confirmed against the approved connection drawing.
Design and Ordering Considerations
Select the clamp by the mating ferrule profile and outside diameter rather than nominal tube size alone. Please identify the sanitary connection standard, tube and ferrule dimensions, gasket material, design pressure, service temperature, chloride exposure, cleaning chemicals, installation frequency, and preferred construction class.
The complete joint—not the clamp alone—determines the safe pressure and temperature limits. Compatibility and duty classification should be verified by the piping-system designer before installation.

Quality Control and Inspection
Inspection can include positive material identification, heat and traceability review, clamp-profile and diameter checks, hinge movement testing, threaded closure inspection, trial assembly on a reference ferrule, surface-finish review, and visual examination for deformation or sharp edges. Critical features are verified against the approved drawing. Learn more about AODSON quality control and assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this clamp different from the three-segment model?
This product uses two main hinged ring sections, while the three-segment model uses three articulated sections. The opening behavior, section geometry, and available installation clearance differ, so selection should follow the ferrule and system drawing.
How do I choose light, medium-duty, or heavy-duty construction?
Selection depends on clamp size, joint loading, pressure, temperature, operating environment, opening frequency, and the applicable standard. Provide the full service conditions for engineering review.
Does the nominal tube diameter define the clamp size?
No. The ferrule outside diameter and profile are essential. For example, the reference list pairs a 38 mm tube with a 50.5 mm ferrule OD, but the actual connection standard must be verified before production.
