Patent ID: 10527205

Abstract:
An integrated hose assembly, monitoring assembly, and method of use are disclosed. The integrated hose assembly includes a hose assembly including a hose having first and second conductive layers, the first conductive layer electrically connected to a nipple and the second conductive layer electrically connected to a socket. The first and second conductive layers are separated by an insulating layer. The integrated hose assembly further includes a monitoring assembly that includes a housing rotatably mounted around at least a portion of the hose assembly, a first wave contact seated within the housing and electrically contacting a first outer surface of the hose assembly that is electrically connected to the first conductive layer, and a second wave contact seated within the housing and electrically contacting a second outer surface of the hose assembly that is electrically connected to the second conductive layer. The monitoring assembly further includes a monitoring circuit electrically connected to the first wave contact and the second wave contact.
