Hydraulic hose is typically measured by its Inner Diameter (ID). This measurement is important because it determines the flow velocity of the hydraulic fluid within the hose. Source: 1. "Hydraulic Hose 101: Fast Facts" - https://www.parker.com/literature/Hos.... (See under "Hose Size Selection Nomograph" section) 2. "Hydraulic hose sizing" - https://www.pirtekusa.com/technical-i... (See under "Hose Bore size" section).
The Joint Industrial Council (JIC) introduced JIC fittings. They were originally designed and implemented by the U.S. Army during World War II, for quick and reliable field assembly, disassembly, and repair of military equipment.

The ID of a hydraulic hose refers to its "inside diameter." It is a critical measurement that indicates the size of the pipe. This measurement directly correlates to the rate of fluid flow within the hose, the pressure it can withstand, and its fitting compatibility. Reference: 1. "Hydraulic Hose 101: Fast Facts" (https://www.hoseassemblytips.com/hydr...). You can see this information in the section titled "Size." 2. "How to Identify Fluid Ports and Connectors" (https://www.hydraulicsdirect.com/Flui...). The information can be found in the paragraph under the subheading "How to Measure Threads."

The numbers on hydraulic hoses typically indicate the hose's diameter, pressure rating, and compliance with specific industry standards. For example, a number like "1/2-12" might denote a 1/2-inch diameter hose with a 12,000 PSI pressure rating. These markings help ensure the hose is suitable for its intended application.
