EXPERIMENTAL The s y s t e m developed for this t e s t is shown schem a t i c a l l y in F i g . 1. An aqueous a b r a s i v e s l u r r y was pumped by a b a l l - c h e c k valve m e t e r i n g pump fitted with t u n g s t e n c a r b i d e b a l l s . The pump has a c o n t i n u ously a d j u s t a b l e flow up to 40 gallons p e r h (176 l i t e r s per h) and is capable of m a i n t a i n i n g p r e s s u r e s in exc e s s of 2000 p s i (13.8 MPa). The p r e s s u r e was indicated by a c a l i b r a t e d 0 to 3000 psi (0 to 20.7 MPa) p r e s s u r e gage with 25 psi (0.172 MPa) d i v i s i o n s . An a c c u m u l a t o r was placed in the high p r e s s u r e side to e l i m i n a t e p u l s i n g in the high p r e s s u r e fluid. The s l u r r y used was a 30 pct solids by weight of 4.5 pm c r u s h e d s i l i c a sand in d i s t i l l e d w a t e r . A l l t e s t s A. E. MILLER and J. P.
