Analyze erosion of Mild Steel material on jet erosion tester for slurry transportation system. In this work Mild Steel material will be experimentally investigated under varying velocity of jet, position of angle with respect to constant time duration using jet type erosion wear tester. The wear damage will estimate by means of weight loss techniques. In many application like, techniques of mining, food processing, power generation and other sectors erosion problem is serious in transportation of slurry. Erosion is a critical parameter for design, selection and operation of the hydraulic transportation system. Engineering interest is to estimate the service life of equipment subjected to slurry erosion & to investigate their efficiency. We will select different material used in pipes & pumps and will check it on jet erosion tester and will analyses it on software, results will be compared with theoretical results.
