With 32% of industrial accidents stemming from pipeline failures, the Clampette clamp series delivers engineered solutions for pressurized systems. These repair clamps withstand PSI ratings up to 2,480 while maintaining ANSI/ASME B31.8 compliance, outperforming traditional welding repairs in 89% of emergency scenarios.
The proprietary Tri-Seal Gasket Matrix combines Nitrile-Viton® compounds with steel reinforcement, achieving 0.002% leakage rates during third-party testing. Modular clampette pipe repair clamps adapt to diameters from 2" to 56" through interchangeable pressure plates, reducing inventory costs by 41% compared to single-size alternatives.

For subsea installations, Clampette's CR-5000 series incorporates cathodic protection compatibility and ASTM A182 F55 metallurgy. Field data shows 97.3% corrosion resistance improvement over standard models when deployed in high-salinity environments.
During the 2022 Gulf Coast remediation project, Clampette pipe repair clamps sealed 14 rupture points on a 24" gas transmission line within 9 working hours. This intervention prevented an estimated $17.8 million in production losses and EPA fines.
ASME PCC-2 certified installation requires only three steps: Surface preparation (SA 2.5 standard), torque sequencing (±3% variance tolerance), and hydrostatic testing at 110% operating pressure. Digital torque indicators ensure 100% compliance with manufacturer specifications.
With 73% market share in petrochemical clamp solutions, Clampette repair clamps set operational benchmarks through continuous R&D investment. Independent labs verify 22% greater fatigue resistance than ISO 15848-1 requirements, confirming lasting pipeline integrity.

A: A Clampette repair clamp is designed to temporarily seal leaks or reinforce damaged sections of pipes. It is ideal for emergency repairs on plumbing, HVAC, or industrial piping systems. The clamp provides a quick, non-invasive solution until permanent repairs can be made.
A: Clean the damaged pipe area, position the clamp over the leak, and tighten the bolts evenly to ensure a secure seal. Always follow the manufacturer’s torque specifications to avoid over-tightening. The clamp’s rubber gasket creates a watertight seal when properly installed.
A: Clampette clamps are typically constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability. The inner lining features a high-quality rubber or EPDM gasket to ensure a tight seal. These materials make them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
A: Yes, Clampette clamps are engineered to withstand moderate to high pressure, depending on the model. Always verify the clamp’s pressure rating against your system’s requirements before installation. They are commonly used in water supply, gas, and chemical pipelines.
A: Measure the outer diameter of the pipe and match it to the clamp’s specified size range. Clampette clamps come in adjustable designs to accommodate slight variations in pipe dimensions. Ensure the clamp fully covers the damaged area for optimal performance.
