The ABA Original worm-drive hose clamp is made of the high-performance SMO steel that is roughly 20% harder than normal austenitic steels, claims Norma. And it is this characteristic that leads to the material's high corrosion resistance. The worm-drive hose clamp is particularly resistant to corrosion such as pitting, crevice corrosion and microscopic cracks.
"The performance of the ABA Original SMO is far above the requirements of a conventional stainless steel clamp," said Bernd Kleinhens, board member Business Development for the group. "This innovative clamp is custom-designed for customers who place special demands on the quality and reliability of a joint."
The ABA Original SMO has the same design as the ABA Original clamp with a bandwidth of 12 mm. This particular worm-drive hose clamp is available in 20 different nominal widths and is manufactured at the Norma Group plant in Anderstorp, Sweden.
