Pump & Flow specialise in analysing mineral slurries and paste, and are fully equipped with an in-house lab to perform
all the rheology testwork necessary to characterise these types of materials.If you are designing a
slurry system, or extending a tailings line or pastefill system, we can assist with the following
investigations:
- Antifoam tests
- Bingham yield stress
- Consolidation
- Density (slurry, particle, settled)
- Flocculant screening
- Mineralogical analysis (XRD and XRF)
- Particle size distribution
- Particle shape factor
- Permeability
- pH
- Plasticity (Atterberg limits)
- Segregation behavior
- Settling tests
- Specific surface area
- Thixotropic analysis
- Total dissolved solids
- Total suspended solids
- Turbidity
- Viscosity curves for varying concentration
- Yield stress curves for varying concentration
Pump & Flow is a trusted lab partner because we:
- Use high quality equipment, calibrated regularly
- Check the distribution of measured results against similar references from our database
- Comply with strict repeatability requirements and explore outliers
- Compare outcomes using multiple methods, where they may be available
- Understand the applicability and limits of each test method and instrument
If you'd like to learn more about slurries and how to design slurry systems, visit our library of articles. Alternatively, contact us and we can develop a design for you complete with our in-house test work.
