White Rock Engineering Services
Specialized slurry abrasivity testing and reciprocating pump engineering. Practical insight into material wear, pump performance and the systems that connect them.
01 Slurry abrasivity
02 Material response
03 Pump diagnostics
04 System analysis
What we do
Start with the question you need to answer—from how abrasive a slurry is to why a pumping system isn’t performing as expected.
Understand the abrasive behavior of your slurry and its effect on material selection.
View details 02 / TEST METHODSExplore the Miller Number System and Slurry Abrasion Response test methods.
View details 03 / SLURRY CHARACTERIZATIONDetermine relative slurry abrasivity using the Miller Number test method.
View details 04 / MATERIAL RESPONSECompare the abrasion resistance of materials in a particular slurry.
View details 05 / FIELD ENGINEERINGInvestigate reciprocating pump performance, component behavior and system problems.
View details 06 / SYSTEM PERFORMANCEExamine pump performance and piping response to help identify the root cause of system problems.
