WEAR WIRE

Large size hoses for the mining industry, such as the SANDFILL MATERIAL CONDUCTING HOSES, are commonly fitted with rubber lined metal nipples. The nipples are usually fabricated from short lengths of steel pipe, threaded on the outer end, grooved for victaulic clamp, or c/w a welded flange.
If the user wants to detect when the hose liner is worn, a wear wire can be incorporated in the hose construction! The wire ends will come off from one end of the hose: when there is no more conductivity between the two ends of the wear wire, you know that the wear wire is broken and the tube is worn!
