![]() ![]() It is a problem of great concern for the dredging companies as wears cost become significant compared to the dredging costs. ![]() In practice, the dredging companies have experienced wear rates which are greater than their expectation and the dredge parts fail earlier than expected. This makes the rate of the pipeline wear unpredictable. In some cases, although there is only small average wear, the high localized wear causes failure of the pipeline. The amount of pipeline wear is determined by, among other factors, the type, size and shape of the sand particles. The slurry mixture is highly abrasive and causes wear and tear of the equipment during operation. The sand-water mixture comes in contact with the pipeline wall and other parts of the dredging equipment during transport. The dredging activity involves hydraulic transport of sand-water mixture, called slurry, through steel pipeline. ![]()
