INSTALLATION FOR CARRYING OUT HYDRO-EROSION AND CAVITATION-EROSION LABORATORY TESTS

摘要

Installation for carrying out hydro-erosion and cavitation-erosion tests includes a working chamber made of stainless steel where the sample under investigation is installed, comparison electrode and supplementary electrode, a screw-restrictor as a semi-cylinder for formation of vortex and cavitational flows, a pump, a vessel for working media, control and control-measuring apparatuses. Working space of the chamber is formed with four removable covers made of organic glass for visual observation of vortex and cavitational flows., and to the side wall of the chamber comparison electrode is installed, at that to the opposite wall the supplementary electrode is installed, and as working electrode there is the sample for tests.
