Max pressure for a std. hose clamp?

I'm thinking of bypassing the leaking oil cooler lines on an 850.
Just want to use a piece of high pressure hydraulic hose and regular hose clamps on the ends. I'm not sure what pressure they're rated to - kind of doubt there's any rating. But still, they're fine with a cooling system, but those rarely ever see anything higher than 20 psi or so.

I think I would want at least 75 psi on an oil line. What do you think?

Some air conditioning fittings use worm gear (cheese grater) hose clamps......

I've seen those as well, but only as repair fittings and always on the suction side. Amazing the stuff that sticks out like a sore thumb in the junkyards when you're used to seeing the same old same-old. I'd think the type of hose (ID makeup) would be a bigger factor than the type of clamp or ferrule, but the sort of experience needed might be found in a hydraulic shop.
