Narrow particle size distribution glass beads-water slurry flow in the pipe sections of different inclination were investigated on an experimental pipe loop of inner diameter D = 100 mm. The study refers to the effect of pipe inclination and slurry velicity on local concentration distribution, pressure drop-velocity relationship, and deposition limit. The study revealed that the glass beads-water mixtures in the inclined pipe sections were significantly stratified: the solid particles moved principally close to the pipe invert, and for flow velocities close to the deposition limit sliding bed or stationary deposit is created even in inclined pipe sections.
