Slurry erosion is a severe problem and a major concern for slurry handling equipment, as it
leads to considerable expense caused by failures, downtime and material replacement …

This paper presents an overview about particulate wear that occurs in various components
of slurry pumps, pipeline systems, and hydraulic turbines due to the mechanical action …

Erosion equations are usually obtained from controlled experimental tests for solid particles
carried in a gas or liquid flow. These equations are then applied to estimate the erosion …

Sand particles, produced in addition to petroleum fluid, present a major erosional hazard to
transport and process control equipment within the petroleum industry. Control valves are …

Erosion caused by solid particles in pipe bends is one of the major concerns in the oil and
gas industry which may result in equipment malfunction and even failure. In this work, a two …

Ultrahigh-pressure abrasive-waterjets (AWJs) are being developed as net shape and near-
net-shape machining tools for hard-to-machine materials. These tools offer significant …
