In fact, about a hundred of our clamps are used to hold the air ducts of the aircraft\u2019s HVAC systems in place \u2013 ensuring a clean and fresh BREEZE.<\/p><p><strong>What makes our aviation-standard clamp so special?<\/strong><\/p><p>Our NAS product is a highly crafted, ultra-light weight and passivated version of our traditional hose clamp. This product is used exclusively in the aerospace and broader aviation realm, due to its incredible strength to weight ratio \u2013 it is used in commercial aircraft, but also for example in helicopters.<\/p><p>You can imagine that the approximately 2.5 million parts on each airplane need to be as light and dependable as possible to support the millions of annual flight missions. With more than 20 years of experience in the aviation business, the NORMA BREEZE clamps feature special metallurgy, special bending, and special stretching to make them very thin, very narrow, very light, clean and ultra strong.<\/p><p>In short: They were specifically designed to stand up to the extreme environmental conditions on an airplane. And they get regularly and rigorously tested.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-eb6fb1b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"eb6fb1b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-19f7908\" data-id=\"19f7908\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a5f413 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2a5f413\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"324\" height=\"385\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.normagroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/NORMA-BREEZE-NAS-clamp.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7596\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.normagroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/NORMA-BREEZE-NAS-clamp.jpg 324w, https:\/\/blog.normagroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/NORMA-BREEZE-NAS-clamp-252x300.jpg 252w, https:\/\/blog.normagroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/NORMA-BREEZE-NAS-clamp-168x200.jpg 168w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 324px) 100vw, 324px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5439a04 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5439a04\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f8150fd\" data-id=\"f8150fd\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8999541 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8999541\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>The NORMA BREEZE Aerospace clamp<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b4f4746 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b4f4746\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-512c99d\" data-id=\"512c99d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-703e62f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"703e62f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Speaking of testing and regulations \u2013 are there special requirements we need to fulfill in the aviation business?<\/strong><\/p><p>Yes, there are quite a couple.
