Standard Test Method for SAE J1508 Hose Clamp Properties

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of SAE J1508 testing. This SAE standard covers the 32 types of clamps most commonly and appropriately used in OEM coolant, fuel, oil, vacuum and emissions systems.

This standard has been compiled to describe the essential specifications and minimum performance requirements recommended by manufacturers. No application advice is intended or implied.

Designed for use in high-vibration and large-diameter applications commonly used in heavy trucks, industrial machinery, field equipment, agricultural irrigation and machinery for air intake and coolant adapter.

Allows to eliminate leaks by automatically increasing or decreasing the clamp diameter, reducing the need for re-tightening. Constant torque clamps have an extended tail on the band to protect the soft hose or pipe from being cut.

V-Band clamps have high strength and positive sealing integrity for applications including:

• Heavy-duty diesel engine exhaust and turbochargers;
• Filter housings;
• Emissions;
• General industrial applications.

Muffler Clamps are designed with long tapered holes that pull the legs around the pipe as the nuts are tightened and provide a tight seal. The other clamp feet do not wrap the pipe, they lie flat and the clamp is connected only at two points.

Ear clamps are designed for low pressure applications such as automotive (not fuel lines), household appliances, industrial machinery, underground irrigation systems and beverage dispensing equipment. Specially designed for mass production applications where inexpensive clamps are needed.
