Navigating precision in industrial hose assembly with ICC

26 February, 2024

Precision and reliability are critical for industrial hose assembly. The Industrial Crimp Calculator (ICC) emerges as an important tool backed by the approval of major fitting manufacturers PT, Campbell, Dixon, and Mario.


At its core, the ICC specialises in tailoring each crimping process to the unique attributes of individual hoses, ensuring a consistent and precise end product. This approach, with compression typically ranging from 15-30%, allows the control to calculate the required compression dimension.

Depending on the fitting manufacturer, three different subprograms are available that contain all manufacturer-specific data. UNIFLEX also provides a fourth tool. This Universal Crimp Calculator is suitable for non-standard hose-fitting connections.

The intuitive interface prompts users to input critical data such as wall thickness, shaft outside diameter, ferrule wall thickness, and compression factor. The ICC then swiftly computes the compression dimension, issuing an error message if any mismatch is detected among the components.

A noteworthy feature of the ICC is its adaptability to variations not only between different hoses but also within a hose jacket. This flexibility ensures that the crimping process remains finely tuned, accommodating the intricacies presented by diverse hose specifications.

The ICC is standard with every UNIFLEX IPC controller. This integration provides professionals with access to a valuable tool as part of their standard equipment, contributing to a streamlined workflow and enhanced efficiency in hose assembly processes. The ICC, where precision meets simplicity, stands as a noteworthy asset in the landscape of industrial crimping.
