B.S. 951 Bonding Clamp.

Zoomup
Good morning,

                           I have often wondered at just what is the purpose of the locking nut on the main fixing screw on a B.S. 951 bonding clamp. On static non vibrating pipes I can hardly imagine the screw becoming loose. So, is the locking nut superfluous? Or is it perhaps to allow correct orientation of the razor blade sharp warning label?

    Perhaps it helps with thermal movement as the pipe expands and contracts with temperature.  I think the clamp bands and clamp bodies may have different expansion coefficients?  Generally good practice though.
