20120222765 | FLEXIBLE HOSE WITH WEAR INDICATOR - The present disclosure relates to a flexible hose that has an outer jacket which includes a continuous layer and a plurality of protrusions connected to and extending radially outward from the continuous layer. The protrusions are in spaced relation to one another and extend along a longitudinal axis of the hose. The continuous layer has a first color and at least one of the plurality of protrusions has a second color that is different from the first color. When one of the at least one protrusions is abraded, the first color of the continuous layer is revealed in an area below the abraded protrusion, indicating that the continuous layer is susceptible to potentially damaging wear. | 09-06-2012 |
20120222766 | FLEXIBLE HOSE WITH WEAR INDICATOR - The present disclosure relates to a flexible hose that has an outer jacket which includes a continuous layer and a plurality of protrusions extending radially outward from the continuous layer. The protrusions are in spaced relation to one another and extend along a longitudinal axis of the hose. When one of the at least one protrusions is abraded, a greater portion of the continuous layer is revealed in an area below the abraded protrusion, indicating that the continuous layer is susceptible to potentially damaging wear. | 09-06-2012 |
20130284296 | WEAR INDICATOR SYSTEM FOR OFFSHORE CORROSION PROTECTION COVERING SYSTEMS - A corrosion protected metal pipe for installation in an offshore structure or for producing a pipeline laid in water is provided. The metal pipe has an at least two-layer covering on the pipe with a lower layer facing the pipe and an upper layer on a side of the lower layer not facing the pipe is provided. The layers are formed such that the lower layer is electrically conductive and the upper layer is electrically insulating, the lower layer is optically contrasting to the upper layer, or the lower layer is electrically conducting and optically contrasting to the upper layer and the upper layer is electrically insulating. Thus, in the event of damage to the layer or layers lying above, a visual or electrical signal can be detected. Damage to the corrosion protection covering can therefore be detected easily and, if appropriate, reported by remote monitoring. | 10-31-2013 |

20140366975 | PIPE AND CONDUIT WEAR DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE - A pipe section, such as a pipe elbow, coated with a ceramic coating containing a fusible link displaced within. The link includes two exposed testing leads which are connected to a sensor which sends a signal across the link. Over time, the pipe section and the coating are worn away by material flowing through the pipe. Eventually the fusible link is severed due to the wear, signaling the sensor to send an alert, notifying that the pipe section needs to be replaced. The method of manufacture includes coating a standard pipe section with a ceramic coating, displacing a fusible link therein, and curing the coating. The coating may contain any number of fusible links in any conceivable arrangement. | 12-18-2014 |
