For 25 years Norma's clamp production has been concentrated in Germany. Now with a more global manufacturing policy Norma UK's parent company Rasmussen GmbH has transferred manufacturing and world-wide distribution to UK subsidiary, Norma Products based in Newbury (see Plate 2).

Norma "V" clamps are suited to a large number of applications, both high pressure and low/no pressure. They are currently used in various areas of container, pipeline, automotive and chemical plant construction. Here they reliably connect transportation containers and water conditioning containers, filters, supply line systems and pipeline systems for air cooling, water cooling, turbochargers, exhaust gases and many others.

Compared to traditional bolted flange joints, Norma "V" clamps offer a number of advantages. Easy assembly and disassembly, compact dimensions and low weight. Simple bolt operation makes the clamp ideal for assembly in places that are hard to access. As the axial load is uniformly distributed over the flared metal flange, even thin-walled pipes and containers can be jointed safely.

The profile clamps can be manufactured in mild or stainless steel, and in a diameter or profile to cover every possible application. Other options include multi-segment and hinge design for greater flexibility. A variety of closures are also available, bolt or quick-release types for applications which require frequent closure and release (see Plate 3).
