Removal of material from the surface due to particle impact is typically referred to as erosive wear. Impact erosion involves many parameters and several wear mechanisms. In the present study, sandblast type erosion tester was used to investigate the influence of particle size, impact angle and expo...

Monitoring of scale progression in a pneumatic conveying system operating in a metal production plant was conducted during a five-month long monitoring period. A combination of an acoustic monitoring method and a laser imaging method provided detailed information of gradual scale growth in a test pi...

Scale formation in pneumatic conveying systems is a major industrial challenge. The underlying scale formation mechanisms can be intricate as they often involve a combination of several mutually enhancing binding forces and can be affected by a number of different factors. A non-intrusive monitoring...
