Rheology

Pump & Flow specialise in analysing slurry and paste flow, and are equipped with a lab to perform 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 measurements:

• Antifoam tests
• Bingham yield stress
• Consolidation
• Density (slurry, particle, settled)
• Flocculant screening
• Mineralogical analysis (XRD and XRF)
• Particle size distribution
• Particle shape factor
• Permeability
• Plasticity (Atterberg limits)
• Segregation behavior
• Settling tests
• Specific surface area
• Thixotropic analysis
• Viscosity curves for varying concentration
• Yield stress curves for varying concentration

Alternatively, contact us and we can develop a design for you complete with our in-house test work.
