I also have a question on your methodology:
The wear rates for different components (e.g., spray needle, nozzle mouth ring, water bucket) are provided in micrometers per hour (μm/h). Could the authors elaborate on how these rates were calculated, especially considering the varying sediment concentrations and flow velocities? Additionally, how were the wear rates extrapolated to predict annual wear?
