Pipe wrench are generally used to fasten or dismantle steel pipe workpieces, and are tools used for pipe installation and repair work. What Pipe wrench are good? Of course, it is an American heavy-duty pipe clamp. The clamp head is made of high carbon steel precision forging, with a hardness of over 40HRC. The upper and lower bite teeth design ensures a strong clamping effect. The overall heat treatment process and the rolled large nut make it easy to quickly adjust the clamp size, suitable for pipe disassembly and pipeline maintenance. The quality is durable, rust proof and anti-oxidation.
Pipe clamp, a commonly used manual hardware tool, is generally used to clamp and rotate steel pipes and other types of clamping tools. When in use, the pipe can be clamped by the clamp head of the pliers, and then rotated with force to complete the connection or disassembly. Its working principle is to convert the clamping force of the clamp head into the twisting torque, and the greater the force used in the twisting direction, the tighter the pipe can be clamped. Pipe clamps are widely used in the installation of oil and civil pipelines, as well as in industries such as oil fields and mines.
1、 The clamp body of Pipe wrench is generally cast from ductile iron, which has the characteristics of high strength and good toughness. There are also aluminum alloy pliers, which are lighter in weight compared to ductile iron, but have a relatively higher cost. Therefore, ductile iron is still the main casting material for Pipe wrench on the market.
2、 The clamp head of a pipe clamp is the most important component that determines its functionality, so it is generally made of alloy steel material (such as chromium molybdenum steel) and heat-treated to achieve sufficient hardness, toughness, and long service life.
3、 According to their styles, pipe clamps mainly include American and British, German, chain type, etc. Among them, American and British are the most commonly used, and their main difference is the position of the clamp body where the adjusting nut is located.
4、 Pipe wrench are generally named according to their total length, and common specifications include: 8 “(200mm), 10” (250mm), 12 “(300mm), 14” (350mm), 18 “(450mm), 24” (600mm), 36 “(900mm), 48” (1200mm), etc.
5、 Pipe wrench can be classified into heavy-duty, heavy-duty, and light-duty according to their body weight. Generally, ductile iron materials are heavy-duty, while aluminum alloy materials are light-duty.
6、 Now, according to the usage needs of different customers, there are also some irregular Pipe wrench, which are metaphorically referred to as multifunctional Pipe wrench, quick Pipe wrench, and force adjustable Pipe wrench.
