slurry
(redirected from slurries)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
slurry
[slur′ē]
Etymology: ME, sloor, mud
a thin suspension of finely divided solids in a liquid.

slurry [sler´e]
a mixture of a liquid, usually water, and a fine insoluble particulate substance.

slurry,
n a thin mixture of insoluble material floating in liquid.

slurry
solids in suspension. Used as a method of feeding pigs—slurry is pumped through fixed lines and delivered to troughs by hoses equipped with gasoline pump fittings. Used also as a means of disposing of feces and urine from cesspits under animal accommodation or trap tanks attached to milking sheds. Disposal is usually onto pasture. This creates poisoning hazards with respect to heavy metals and transmission of disease such as salmonellosis or Johne's disease.

7,151,133 B2 BASF Coatings has obtained a patent for a process for preparing powder slurry of a particular shade, comprised of mixing a powder slurry or slurries selected from the group consisting of color powder slurries of achromatic shade and clearcoat powder slurries with at least one aqueous, color- or effect-imparting tinting paste.
With a rugged construction, wear-resistant trim materials, and an unrestricted straight through flow path, the Vee-Ball valve design is ideal for controlling the most abrasive of slurries.
Because of the very nature of the process, slurries go through aging, mechanical properties only can be designed to a limited degree and shell-metal reaction remains a concern.
