Abstract
Erosion, a common cause of failure in oilfield equipment,<br>remains a complex phenomenon despite extensive studies by<br>the industry. The severity of erosion depends on a multitude of<br>factors such as fluid properties, flow rate, sand size and rate,<br>material type, geometry as well as many others.
