ASTM G76-95(2000)
(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Conducting Erosion Tests by Solid Particle Impingement Using Gas Jets
Standard Test Method for Conducting Erosion Tests by Solid Particle Impingement Using Gas Jets
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers the determination of material loss by gas-entrained solid particle impingement erosion with jet- nozzle type erosion equipment. This practice may be used in the laboratory to measure the solid particle erosion of different materials and has been used as a screening test for ranking solid particle erosion rates of materials in simulated service environments (1, 2). Actual erosion service involves particle sizes, velocities, attack angles, environments, etc., that will vary over a wide range (3-5). Hence, any single laboratory test may not be sufficient to evaluate expected service performance. This practice describes one well characterized procedure for solid particle impingement erosion measurement for which interlaboratory test results are available.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
