After a few years of operation, major failures are detected throughout an oil sands pipeline. It has been established that corrosion and erosion have occurred at an unexpectedly high rate due to the failure of a natural rubber pipeline lining. It was decided that the old pipeline should be dismantled and that a new pipeline be constructed. An engineering team must address the failure by finding a replacement lining and an approximate material cost for the new lining in comparison to the old. The team also needs to provide a reasonable and quantitative explanation as to why and how the previous pipeline, made of seamless carbon steel pipes, failed. Find out how Knovel can be used to solve this problem.
