C-Clamps??
C-Clamps??
(OP)
I am new at my current job and they just gave me something to study upon and maybe calculate. C-Clamps. I have never dealt with them. I am in the Leak Sealing Industry and basically we stop leaks. They are wanting to install several C-Clamps on an existing flange. If someone could please explain to me the use of these C-Clamps or where I could maybe find information that would be appreciated. Any calculation ideas as well. I am at a total lost with this. Usually with a flange leak we fabricat a clamp to stop the leak. Now they want C-Clamps and I do not know what to do.
Thanks.
Thanks.





RE: C-Clamps??
The C-clamps you really want for flanges are probably not in your local hardware store; they are bigger, typically forged not cast, heavy enough to break your foot if you drop them, and cost ~100USD. Now that you know what you're looking for, you should have no trouble finding them.

C-Clamps aren't too stable
To analyze the clamps look under Curved Beam analysis Budynas "applied Strength & Applied Stress Analysis" has a good section.
