As a company specializing in control valves for slurry applications, we see a lot of valve erosion. So much so that we maintain an internal photo gallery, aptly named the Erosion Hall of Fame.
This photo is a recent addition. It features a SlurryFlo control valve that has operated under severe service conditions for 12 years. The intricate textures and erosion patterns are equally impressive and terrifying. Imagine the immense friction and velocity required to cause that kind of damage to some of the toughest materials in our industry!
When recommending solutions to clients dealing with premature valve failures, we are careful not to promise exact longevity. Predicting wear rates is challenging. Nevertheless, we're proud to showcase this photo (and its data) in our Erosion Hall of Fame, highlighting SlurryFlo’s outstanding performance in extreme conditions! 💪
