A testbench system is disclosed. The system includes a network interface; a memory storage; a transducer; and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to operate in a first phase and: perform calibration of the transducer and generate calibration data; generate a unique identification (CTS-ID) for the transducer based on the calibration data; mark the transducer with the CTS-ID; and provide the CTS-ID and the calibration data to the network interface for transmission to a database.

Methods of making hose fittings include providing a stem having a fluid conduit, a first end, a second end with a raised shoulder, and a crimp region disposed between the first end and the second end. A swivel tube nut is placed over the stem, and the swivel tube nut is retained on the stem the by the raised shoulder. A ferrule is thereafter placed over the first end of the stem, and the ferrule comprises a partially or fully formed octagonal wrench surface, formed prior to. The ferrule is then crimped, at the octagonal wrench surface, onto the crimp region of the stem.

A swivel tube nut is placed over the stem, and the swivel tube nut is retained on the stem the by the raised shoulder. A ferrule is thereafter placed over the first end of the stem, and the ferrule comprises a partially formed hexagonal wrench surface, formed prior to. The ferrule is then crimped, at the hexagonal wrench surface, onto the crimp region of the stem.

Six sided forged ferrule staking crimped fitting and method of manufacture thereof

An apparatus and method for imprinting a hose ( ) with a continuous grip enhancing texture is disclosed. The texturing device (C, C&prime;) is comprised of a circular guide tube ( ) through which the hose ( ) to be textured is driven. The guide tube ( ) is rotated, by a drive ( ). Texturing means mounted at the exit end of the guide tube ( ) are also rotated about the hose ( ) as the texture is applied to the hose ( ). The texturing of the hose is accomplished by at least one roller ( ) mounted on a chuck ( ) or by at least one scribing pen ( ) mounted on a bracket ( ).
