THE ABRASION RESISTANCE OF PIPES

Until now it has been difficult to assess accurately the suitability of materials for abrasion-resistant polymeric pipe or pipe linings in hydraulic slurry transport, due to the inability to correlate results. New studies, described in this article, suggest a method of comparing materials for the evaluation of abrasion resistance, giving data which are both reproducible and consistent. The rotating drum test provides a method of ranking materials as to their abrasion resistance, independent of slurry type. The equipment is described and the factors to be taken into account in lining selection are discussed: wear versus material properties, cost/performance ratio, wall thickness versus working life, jointing and chemical resistance.
