In developing a means of slurry handling iron ore pellet feed to and from ocean vessels, Marconaflo found it necessary to establish a slurry laboratory to develop the technology and hardware. This paper is a review of the principles involved in such developments and the importance of testing the principles for the commercialization of slurry systems. The data, as presented, is applicable to a wide range of materials, many of which have been subject to comprehensive testing and evaluation in the laboratory and subsequently handled on a commercial basis as the result. Most references to the Marconaflo system have been deleted from the text of the paper unless there is absolute need for such identification.
