Abstract
Investigations of pneumatic transport of bulk materials used in shipbuilding have carried out. Their abrasiveness, wear of straight and curved sections of pipelines were investigated. Theoretically, the dependences of the amount of wear on various factors were defined: abrasiveness and concentration of transported particles, flow rate, pipe diameter and wear resistance of its material, structural and operational features of the transport system, etc. Formulas for determining the maximum useful life of straight and curved sections of pipelines are obtained. Theoretical results confirmed experimentally.
