I am trying to figure out the math on how much pressure per square inch my hose clamp is applying. The circumference of my hose clamp is 36 inches and I will be applying approximately 36 inch pounds of torque to the hose clamp. The mechanical advantage of the hose clamp appears to be about 30 to 1. Or, 10 revolutions per inch. I come up with about 30 pounds per square inch.\nOr inch of hose clamp? Am I doing this correctly?
The hose clamp is one half inch wide and forgot to add that.
I’m assuming that the torque you are applying is to a fastener that tensions the hose clamp around whatever it is you are clamping. The tension you are creating is tangential to the surface of what you are clamping. So if what you are asking is what pressure you are creating radial to what you are clamping, then no.
I don’t know how to work it out though.
Surface area would be 18 sq inches. ( rounded off, using 3X Diam. instead of Pi. ) so 60 PSI per linear inch of clamp??
