Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM)
Abrasive flow machining (AFM) passes a mixture of abrasive grain and a high-viscosity carrier media through a part's inner diameter (ID) or internal openings. AFM processes are used to debur, polish, and generate controlled-radius geometry in components. Orbital AFM is used for external finishing

Pump Solutions for Abrasive Mining Applications
or electro-hydraulic) use a reciprocating diaphragm to induce flow between two internal ball check valves. Abrasive fluids inevitably cause erosion or clogging of the valves, requiring frequent rebuilds of the pump’s wetted end. Progressive cavity pumps move fluid along the successive cavities

Abrasive Filament Brush Deburring of Powdered Metal Components
The deburring of PM parts is commonly performed in a batch process. This typically involves loading a quantity of parts into a vibratory bowl filled with abrasive media. The vibration of the bowl causes the abrasive media, and parts, to "flow". This interaction between the media and parts gradually

How to Move Abrasive Fluids While Minimizing Life Cycle Costs
Positive displacement pumps (PD pumps) were created to meter or transfer hard-to-handle fluids like corrosive, viscous, shear sensitive, or abrasive slurries at various speeds without pressure-induced flow drop. Within the realm of PD pumps, there are reciprocating and rotary pump technologies:

Pharmaceutical Glass Manufacturer Blends 120 Batches/Day of Abrasive Ingredients
. Pharmaceutical glass manufacturer blends 120 batches/day of abrasive ingredients. Raw materials are discharged from the scales above and flow through the diverter gate (center, rear) into either mixer No. 1 or No. 2. The pipe in the foreground is not integral to the mixing operation, but is used only

Introduction to Flow Meters
with detailed data on the fluid's composition, presence of bubbles, solids (abrasive or soft, size of particles, fibers), tendency to coat, and light transmission qualities (opaque, translucent or transparent?). Expected minimum and maximum pressure and temperature values should be given in addition

Sand Slurry Flow Monitoring (.pdf)
CanFrac Sands Ltd. of Lloydmister Saskatchewan (Canada) needed a flowmeter that could accurately measure sand slurry flow without being damaged by this highly abrasive product. They selected the Greyline DFM 5.0 Doppler Flow Meter with a clamp-on ultrasonic sensor mounted on the outside of a pipe.
