Conclusions
-
1.
The wear of hydromonitor nozzles is due to the cavitation action of the liquid stream.
-
2.
The cause of this cavitation is the presence of a vacuum near the mouth of the nozzle.
-
3.
The wear can be effectively suppressed by eliminating the vacuum.
-
4.
One method of eliminating the vacuum in the nozzle is to introduce an air tube, as used in the PG pulsed hydromonitor for creating pulsations in the jet.
