Where could one find information on how hose clamps are made?
There are a wide variety of hose clamps so to better find out how a hose clamp is made it depends on which type of hose clamp that is being referred to. A typical "adjustable by screw" type hose clamp starts out with a band of thin metal that is perforated with slots. A fastening device is then attached along with a screw that makes the band move in or out determining on how tight/loose the clamp will be. Another type is a spring hose clamp which is steel that is bent into a ring form with two prongs that are squeezed to open the clamp. Clamp is then tempered to ensure that the form of the spring is held after several uses and much wear.
