1 FROM A NDERSTORP, SWEDEN . CLAMPING & CONNECTING PRODUCTS. We began life, over a hundred years ago, manufacturing fire-fighting equipment. With the invention of a new type of hose clamp, we helped improve the effectiveness of fire- fighting operations at the time. Today, we still firmly believe that quality saves lives. Perhaps that's why our clamps have become the industry benchmark. ABA represents the flagship brand in the NORMA Group. Over the years, we have built up a strong and loyal following around the world due to the outstanding quality of our products. ABA product catalogue 3. 4 ABA product catalogue . CONTENTS.

6 Quality continuously surveyed in our ISO 9000:2000 as well as ISO TS 16949. High clamping force systems. A good clamp should be able to develop a high level of tightening force around the hose or pipe . The even tightening force secures a tight seal. Through the installation torque you decide on the level of force to apply. Gentle on the hose The smooth underside and rolled-up band edges are gentle on the hose and reduce the risk of leakages.
