1、Designation: G134 17Standard Test Method forErosion of Solid Materials by Cavitating Liquid Jet1This standard is issued under the fixed designation G134; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A
2、number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a test that can be used tocompare the cavitation erosion resistance of solid materials. Asubmerged cavitating j
3、et, issuing from a nozzle, impinges on atest specimen placed in its path so that cavities collapse on it,thereby causing erosion. The test is carried out under specifiedconditions in a specified liquid, usually water. This test methodcan also be used to compare the cavitation erosion capability ofva
4、rious liquids.1.2 This test method specifies the nozzle and nozzle holdershape and size, the specimen size and its method of mounting,and the minimum test chamber size. Procedures are describedfor selecting the standoff distance and one of several standardtest conditions. Deviation from some of thes
5、e conditions ispermitted where appropriate and if properly documented.Guidance is given on setting up a suitable apparatus, test andreporting procedures, and the precautions to be taken. Standardreference materials are specified; these must be used to verifythe operation of the facility and to defin
6、e the normalizederosion resistance of other materials.1.3 Two types of tests are encompassed, one using testliquids which can be run to waste, for example, tap water, andthe other using liquids which must be recirculated, forexample, reagent water or various oils. Slightly different testcircuits are
7、 required for each type.1.4 This test method provides an alternative to Test MethodG32. In that method, cavitation is induced by vibrating asubmerged specimen at high frequency (20 kHz) with aspecified amplitude. In the present method, cavitation isgenerated in a flowing system so that both the jet
8、velocity andthe downstream pressure (which causes the bubble collapse)can be varied independently.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if an
9、y, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety, health, and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.7 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internation

18、e liquid, usually producedby motion of the liquid (see flow cavitation) or of a solidboundary (see vibratory cavitation). It is distinguished in thisway from boiling, which originates from an increase in liquidtemperature.3.2.1.2 DiscussionThe term cavitation, by itself, shouldnot be used to denote
19、the damage or erosion of a solid surfacethat can be caused by it; this effect of cavitation is termedcavitation damage or cavitation erosion. To erode a solidsurface, bubbles or cavities must collapse on or near thatsurface. G403.2.2 cavitation erosion, nprogressive loss of originalmaterial from a s
20、olid surface due to continued exposure tocavitation. G403.2.3 cumulative erosion, nin cavitation and impingementerosion, the total amount of material lost from a solid surfaceduring all exposure periods since it was first exposed tocavitation or impingement as a newly-finished surface. (Morespecific
21、 terms that may be used are cumulative mass loss,cumulative volume loss,orcumulative mean depth of erosion.See also cumulative erosion-time curve.)3.2.3.1 DiscussionUnless otherwise indicated by thecontext, it is implied that the conditions of cavitation orimpingement have remained the same througho
22、ut all exposureperiods, with no intermediate refinishing of the surface. G403.2.4 cumulative erosion rate, nthe cumulative erosion ata specified point in an erosion test divided by the correspond-ing cumulative exposure duration; that is, the slope of a linefrom the origin to the specified point on
23、the cumulativeerosion-time curve. (Synonym: average erosion rate) G403.2.5 cumulative erosion-time curve, nin cavitation andimpingement erosion, a plot of cumulative erosion versuscumulative exposure duration, usually determined by periodicinterruption of the test and weighing of the specimen. This
24、isthe primary record of an erosion test. Most othercharacteristics, such as the incubation period, maximum ero-sion rate, terminal erosion rate, and erosion rate-time curve, arederived from it. G403.2.6 flow cavitation, ncavitation caused by a decrease inlocal pressure induced by changes in velocity
25、 of a flowingliquid. Typically, this may be caused by flow around anobstacle or through a constriction, or relative to a blade or foil.A cavitation cloud or “cavitating wake” generally trails fromsome point adjacent to the obstacle or constriction to somedistance downstream, the bubbles being formed
26、 at one placeand collapsing at another. G403.2.7 incubation period, nin cavitation and impingementerosion, the initial stage of the erosion rate-time pattern duringwhich the erosion rate is zero or negligible compared to laterstages. Also, the exposure duration associated with this stage.(Quantitati
27、vely it is sometimes defined as the intercept on thetime or exposure axis, of a straight line extension of themaximum-slope portion of the cumulative erosion-time curve.)G403.2.8 maximum erosion rate, nin cavitation and liquidimpingement erosion, the maximum instantaneous erosion ratein a test that
28、exhibits such a maximum followed by decreasingerosion rates. (See also erosion rate-time pattern.)3.2.8.1 DiscussionOccurrence of such a maximum istypical of many cavitation and liquid impingement tests. Insome instances, it occurs as an instantaneous maximum, inothers as a steady-state maximum whic
29、h persists for sometime. G403.2.9 normalized erosion resistance, Ne, nin cavitationand liquid impingement erosion, a measure of the erosionresistance of a test material relative to that of a specifiedreference material, calculated by dividing the volume loss rateof the reference material by that of
30、the test material, when bothare similarly tested and similarly analyzed. By “similarlyanalyzed,” it is meant that the two erosion rates must bedetermined for corresponding portions of the erosion rate timepattern; for instance, the maximum erosion rate or the terminalerosion rate.3.2.9.1 DiscussionA

G403.2.11 terminal erosion rate, nin cavitation or liquidimpingement erosion, the final steady-state erosion rate that isreached (or appears to be approached
33、 asymptotically) after theerosion rate has declined from its maximum value. (See alsoterminal period and erosion rate-time pattern.) G403.3 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.3.1 cavitating jet, na continuous liquid jet (usuallysubmerged) in which cavitation is induced by the nozzle de
34、signor sometimes by a center body. See also jet cavitation.3.3.2 cavitation number, a dimensionless number thatmeasures the tendency for cavitation to occur in a flowingstream of liquid, and that, for the purpose of this test method,is defined by the following equation.All pressures are absolute. 5p
35、d2 pv!12V2(1)where:pv= vapor pressure,pd= static pressure in the downstream chamber,V = jet velocity, and = liquid density.3.3.2.1 For liquid flow through any orifice:12 V25 pu2 pd(2)where:pu= upstream pressure.3.3.2.2 For erosion testing by this test method, the cavitat-ing flow in the nozzle is ch
36、oked, so that the downstreamG134 172Mon Apr 30 08 pressure, as seen by the flow, is equal to the vapor pressure.The cavitation number thus reduces to: 5pd2 pvpu2 pd(3)which for many liquids and at many temperatures can beapproximated by: 5pdpu(4)sincepu.pd.pv(5)3.3.3 jet cavitation, nthe cavitation
37、generated in the vor-tices which travel in sequence singly or in clouds in the shearlayer around a submerged jet. It can be amplified by the nozzledesign so that vortices form in the vena contracta region insidethe nozzle.3.3.4 stand-off distance, nin this test method, the distancebetween the inlet
38、edge of the nozzle and the target face of thespecimen. It is thus defined because the location and shape ofthe inlet edge determine the location of the vena contracta andthe initiation of cavitation.3.3.5 tangent erosion rate, nthe slope of a straight linedrawn through the origin and tangent to the
39、knee of thecumulative erosion-time curve, when the shape of that curvehas the characteristic S-shape pattern that permits this. In suchcases, the tangent erosion rate also represents the maximumcumulative erosion rate exhibited during the test.3.3.6 vena contracta, nthe smallest locally occurring di
40、-ameter of the main flow of a fluid after it enters into a nozzleor orifice from a larger conduit or a reservoir. At this point themain or primary flow is detached from the solid boundaries,and vortices or recirculating secondary flow patterns areformed in the intervening space.4. Summary of Test Me
41、thod4.1 This test method produces a submerged cavitating jetwhich impinges upon a stationary specimen, also submerged,causing cavitation bubbles to collapse on that specimen andthereby to erode it. This test method generally utilizes acommercially available positive displacement pump fitted witha hy
42、draulic accumulator to damp out pulsations. The pumpdelivers test liquid through a small sharp-entry cylindrical-borenozzle, which discharges a jet of liquid into a chamber at acontrolled pressure. Cavitation starts in the vena contractaregion of the jet within the length of the nozzle; it is stabil
43、izedby the cylindrical bore and it emerges, appearing to the eye asa cloud which is visible around the submerged liquid jet. Abutton type specimen is placed in the path of the jet at aspecified stand-off distance from the entry edge of the nozzle.Cavitation bubbles collapse on the specimen, thus cau
44、singerosion. Both the upstream and the downstream chamberpressures and the temperature of the discharging liquid must becontrolled and monitored. The test specimen is weighedaccurately before testing begins and again during periodicinterruptions of the test, in order to obtain a history of massloss
45、versus time (which is not linear). Appropriate interpreta-tion of the cumulative erosion-time curve derived from thesemeasurements permits comparisons to be drawn betweendifferent materials, different test conditions, or between differ-ent liquids. A typical test rig can be built using a 2.5-kW pump
46、capable of producing 21-MPa pressure. The standard nozzlebore diameter is 0.4 mm, but this may be changed if requiredfor specialized tests.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method may be used to estimate the relativeresistances of materials to cavitation erosion, as may beencountered for instance
47、 in pumps, hydraulic turbines, valves,hydraulic dynamometers and couplings, bearings, diesel enginecylinder liners, ship propellers, hydrofoils, internal flowpassages, and various components of fluid power systems orfuel systems of diesel engines. It can also be used to compareerosion produced by di
48、fferent liquids under the conditionssimulated by the test. Its general applications are similar tothose of Test Method G32.5.2 In this test method cavitation is generated in a flowingsystem. Both the velocity of flow which causes the formationof cavities and the chamber pressure in which they collap
49、se canbe changed easily and independently, so it is possible to studythe effects of various parameters separately. Cavitation condi-tions can be controlled easily and precisely. Furthermore, iftests are performed at constant cavitation number (), it ispossible, by suitably altering the pressures, to accelerate orslow down the testing process (see 11.2 and Fig. A2.2).5.3 This test method with standard conditions should not beused to rank materials for applications where electrochemicalcorrosion or solid particle impingement plays a major ro
