NATA Hose Test Software
Budget: $250 – $750 AUD
I need a Windows-based application that talks directly to our Additel digital pressure gauges and Hydratron transducer, captures live pressure-temperature data, and drives the entire hose pressure-test workflow to NATA and current Australian Standards.
The program must let a Technician log in, select a hose specification, enter temperature and target pressure, then automatically calculate the correct test duration and pass/fail limits. While the test is running it should stream readings from the instruments, display them in real time, and store everything in a SQL Server database. Once complete the software must produce a pressure-versus-time graph, compile all critical measurements, and generate a tamper-proof test certificate that satisfies NATA formatting requirements.
Acceptance criteria
• Reliable device communication with both instruments across their supported interfaces
• Automatic duration/criteria calculations that match the cited standards under varied pressure and temperature conditions
• Stored test records retrievable by hose ID, date, or technician
• PDF certificate with embedded graph, unique reference number, and digital signature field
• Installer and full source code delivered, ready for deployment on standard Windows 10/11 machines
If you have experience with instrument control, SQL Server, and compliance reporting, I’d like to see how you would structure the solution and timeline.
