Notes:
Wear of automatic pump valves by abrasive suspensions. In pumping of abrasive suspensions with reciprocating displacement pumps against high pressures, the pump valves prove to be subject to serious wear. Wear of the piston seal can usually be avoided by washing or by separating membranes. Pump valves are fitted with elastic or rigid seals. To resist corrosion and temperature effects, frequently the only possible approach is to finish them in metallic or carbide materials. The major kinds of wear are demonstrated by a tribological study. The rates of wear found for a real valve model with a high pressure experimental setup depend upon the pressure and frequency of reciprocation. A hardness-dependent region of instability exists where wear scoring arises. The volume wear rate for various arrangements of materials and abrasive particles exhibits a crest/trough nature. A design strategy and construction aspects are considered and compared with practical experience.
