A novel wear monitoring concept using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been developed for assessing the condition of slurry rubber hoses. This concept involves embedding RFID tags inside the hose liner, correlating their unique identification numbers with tag location information, and tracking the presence or absence of the tags...

In contrast to traditional oil industries, the oil sands sector experiences severe wear-related problems due to the inherently abrasive and corrosive nature of the mined oil sands. This wear affects the mining and extraction processes, causing rapid pipe wall loss in carbon steel slurry pipelines over a relatively short period. To extend service...
