The flow of a gas-liquid multiphase system may cause erosion if velocities are high. This is the description of empirical relationships for estimating whether erosion will occur in a system at a certain velocity used at PQplot.
As a rule of thump, pipe erosion begins when velocity exceeds the value of C/SQRT(ρ) in ft/s, where ρ = gas density (in lb/ft3) and C = empirical constant (in lb/s/ft2) (starting erosional velocity). We used C=100 as API RP 14E (1984) suggested C=100 for continuous and 125 for non continuous service.
