Abstract
In a hose connector fitting, an outer circumferential surface of a socket is crimped toward a radially inner side thereof within a crimping range along an axis direction of the socket in the state where a hose is inserted into an annular space between an outer circumferential portion of a nipple and an inner circumferential portion of the socket. A shape measuring device includes: a sensor and a rotational moving unit that detect distance data from a reference position to the surface of the socket over a zone including at least the entire crimping range; a shape data generating unit that generates shape data representative the three-dimensional shape of the socket surface based on the detected distance data; and a measurement data calculating unit that calculates measurement data about the crimping state of the socket based on the shape data.
