Ferrules & Sleeves for
High, Medium, and Low-Pressure Hose Assemblies

Introducing CampbellCrimpnology™
The CampbellCrimpnology™ system includes fittings, couplings, ferrules, sleeves, crimp specs, testing, and training. CampbellCrimpnology is a method of hose attachment utilizing interlocking ferrules, which attach to their mating fitting, and sleeves. Ferrules and sleeves can be used in a wide variety of hose applications including low, medium and high-pressure compressed air, chemical, petro-chemical, and utility hose, as well as a myriad of specialty applications. Please refer to the assembly pressure-rating chart for details.
An integrated attachment system
Each ferrule and sleeve is specifically-designed for use with a particular Campbell fitting or coupling.
Recommended Use
• Multi-purpose air, fliud, bulk handling

Features & Benefits of Crimping
• Provides precisely measured, repeatable assemblies
• Allows for higher working pressures than band clamps
• Improves "dragability"… low profile, no sharp edges, reduces weight.
• Ferrules interlock with couplings/fittings, offering the ultimate in hose retention.
• Ferrules and sleeves provide a neat, simple, attractive hose assembly system for your end-user customer. An assembly system is a powerful tool to attract and keep business, increasing sales and profits.

Glossary of CampbellCrimpnology™ Terms

Crimp Chart -- A chart designed to assist in determining the crimp spec, which includes allowance for serration style, fitting, and ferrule/sleeve O.D. and design.

Crimp spec (or specification) -- The outside diameter of the ferrule/sleeve after assembling and crimping.

Cut-slots -- Notches cut into the turned-in end of a ferrule that allows the interlock portion to crimp straight down into the fitting interlock without opening outward during crimping.

Ferrule: A tube-like product with one end turned in so as to affect an interlock into a groove on a matting fitting or coupling.

Ferrule length -- The overall length of the ferrule as measured from the turned-in end to the open end.

Ferrule/Sleeve I.D. -- The inside bowl diameter of the ferrule; the inside diameter of the sleeve; the inside diameter of either where the hose is placed.

Gauge -- The thickness of the ferrule/sleeve material.

Interlock groove -- A groove designed into the fitting/coupling to accept the turn-in end of the ferrule.

Shank length -- The hose barb area measured from the end of the fitting to the interlock groove.

Sleeve -- The tube-like product with no interlock provisions.

Turn-in -- The interlocking end of the ferrule.

1) Working pressure ratings are based on using any smooth bore rubber hose except steam and hot tar.
2) Working pressure ratings are based on using any smooth bore rubber hose except chemical, steam, and hot tar.
B
• Working pressure ratings are based on using any smooth bore air or water rubber hose.
C
3) Working pressure ratings for U-bolt clamps are based on using any smooth bore rubber hose including steam and hot tar, but excluding chemical.
4) Working pressure ratings for interlocking ferrules are based on using any smooth bore rubber hose except chemical, steam, and hot tar.
• For plastic chemical hose, refer to section D.
D
5) Working pressure ratings are based on using smooth bore rubber chemical hose, including plastic-lined.
6) Working pressure ratings are based on using
any smooth bore rubber hose, except chemical, steam, and hot tar.
7) For use without a hose attachment.
• For steam and hot tar hose, refer to section C.
General Notes:
• Working pressure ratings are based on using CampbellCrimpnology™ products only, and that proper crimping procedures have been followed.
• Working pressure ratings are maximum as listed or the hose rating, whichever is lower.
• The above chart does not include plastic fittings or couplings.
• Refer to Temperature Derating Chart (below) for temperatures above 70°F.
• The above chart does not include any end pull if present. Contact the factory with specifics.

General Notes:
1) N/R means NOT RECOMMENDED!
2) Hose assembly temperature is affected by both the media and the environment.
3) Please consult the hose manufacturer for further information regarding temperature.
