1. A hose clamp comprising:

  • a band further comprising;

    notches formed in the band disposed at a first end of the band disposed at an angle to a longitudinal axis of the band, and an integrated wave-form formed in the band circumferentially spaced such that the wave-form is yieldable in a direction circumferentially of the band for spring compensation during thermal cycling and material aging wherein the wave-form is formed in the band where the band is void of notches;

    a housing attached to a second end of the band;

    a worm gear screw attached with the housing such that the notches and the worm gear screw engage for tensioning the hose clamp;

    a compression liner inserted in the inside of a circumference of the band to increase clamp unit loading by concentrating the load radially inward from the tension of the circumference of the band, the liner further comprising a width of the liner such that the width substantially covers the notches; and

    an attachment means to secure the liner in place in relation to a width direction of the band and to allow movement of the liner in the circumference, length direction.
