The hydraulic transportation of particulate solids through pipelines results in wear of the pipeline walls. The lifetime of the pipeline is determined by this rate of material loss and is therefore critical to the designer. Due to the small amounts of material lost in in-situ tests, requiring in many cases in excess of 1000 hours testing, an accelerated test procedure is necessary. This work introduces an accelerated method of evaluating materials under simulated pipeline wear conditions. The solids in the slurry and the materials were closely monitored to attain an understanding of their interaction. The wear rate of the materials tested was found to decrease with a decrease in the average rounding of the particles. These changes in particle characteristics occur with time due to comminution within the pump and pipeline. The mechanical properties and wear rates of the materials evaluated were examined to determine whether any relationships existed. 2014-10-11T11:59:53Z 2014-10-11T11:59:53Z 1988 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8310 eng application/pdf Department of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
