ASFA Hose Clamps - Versatility and Durability in one

In industrial and manufacturing environments, ensuring the tightness and integrity of hose connections is essential to prevent leakage and fluid loss.

Mikalor hose clamps are the ultimate solution to this critical need.

In this article, we will explain in detail the features, benefits and applications of the most prominent ASFA clamps, and how they contribute to maintaining safety and efficiency in fluid systems.

ASFA clamp DIN 3017

ASFA DIN 3017 clamps have been designed with a clear purpose: to ensure 100% tightness of hose connections. The main function of this clamp is to prevent any leakage of liquids or fluids in the connection area with fittings or pipes.

This feature is essential for a wide range of industrial applications, where the integrity of fluid systems is vital for efficient and safe operation.

Every clamp in the ASFA DIN 3017 range comprises a range of application diameters matching its nominal description. Their design has been meticulously engineered to ensure maximum efficiency. The non-perforated band with a completely smooth interior, together with the rounded edges, prevents any damage to the hose.

The unique housing and heavy duty screw contribute to the clamp's compactness and exceptional performance.

Performance Optimisation

One of the outstanding features of ASFA DIN 3017 clamps is the use of the highest tensile strength materials. Each of the material grades offered in the range, from W1 Steel to W5 Steel, provides increased performance in the application at the same tightening torque. This results in long-lasting and efficient operation in a variety of conditions and environments.

Variety and Quality of the ASFA range

The ASFA range is manufactured in four different belt widths: 9 mm L-series, 12 mm S-series, 16 mm High Torque series and a small range of 6 sizes with a belt width of 7 mm. 

These clamps are also rated in terms of their corrosion resistance. They are manufactured in five different material grades depending on the corrosion resistance* requirements.

• W1 Steel DIN 1.0935 / 144 hours salt spray
• W2 Steel AISI 430 - Screw steel DIN 1.0214 / 72 hours salt spray
• W3 AISI 430 steel - AISI 304 steel bolt / 200 hours salt spray
• W4 AISI 304 steel / 400 hours salt spray
• W5 AISI 316 steel / 1,000 hours salt spray

_{*Corrosion resistance tests have been carried out in accordance with ASTM B-117 standard.}

Recommendations and Regulatory Compliance

Mikalor hose clamps comply with DIN 3017 as well as RoHS and REACH regulations. It is essential to work at 75% of the maximum values specified in the table for optimum performance. Furthermore, they are in accordance with the EU directive 2002/95/EC, declaring their commitment to quality and safety standards.

List of other models of ASFA clamps

• Constant Tension
• Stainless W3 Black
• Titanium
• With one or two bridges
• With torque control cap

This system allows easy, fast and moderate, easy tightening of the clamp without the use of tools. Once the torque has been applied, the knob can be removed.

The material used to manufacture the thumb screw is plastic and red in colour. For more information you can consult the technical data sheet available on the product page.
