Measurement of solid particle velocity in erosive wear

A method is described for determining the velocity of solid particles in a gas-particulate stream applied to erosion testing of materials. A simple mechanical configuration allows the measurement to be made under a wide range of equipment conditions. The time-of-flight of the particles is determined...

Description
Summary:A method is described for determining the velocity of solid particles in a gas-particulate stream applied to erosion testing of materials. A simple mechanical configuration allows the measurement to be made under a wide range of equipment conditions. The time-of-flight of the particles is determined over a controlled path length between two rotating disks. Examples of measurements on several test apparatus are presented. The importance of nozzle design is discussed. A comparison between particle and gas stream velocity is presented.
