A B S T R A C T This invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining the erosion potential of particulate material such as that contained in a mine dump or erosive farmland. The method consists in directing a jet of fluid such as water or air onto the surface of the material from a fixed distance at a fixed pressure or range of pressures and measuring the parameters of the jet against a scale when the jet produces a predetermined effect on the material under test. The apparatus includes a portable accumulator for holding the fluid under pressure, a nozzle through which the fluid may be discharged from the accumulator, means between the accumulator and nozzle for adjusting fluid flow between the two and a portable and adjustable frame such as a tripod on which the apparatus is mounted.
