Abstract

Pharmaceutical and chemical industries have been using transportation of various material/powder through pipes. The bend was punctured in the conveying system during the flow of material and finally stops the production. The scientists and researchers are working on material and mechanism to reduce the material loss of the bends. An experimental investigation have been carried out for erosive wear in pipe bends of a pneumatic conveying pipe line. Six bends has been considered for the investigation of wear at 90° from rotary feeder to air filter. The Comparison of erosive wear was investigated for all six pipe bends. The bend 2 was the most critical place in the pipeline. Other five bends had less erosion than the bend 2 due to maximum velocity of the flow.
