The critical size of the sand particles in liquid is determined by means of the special vibratory apparatus, and it is related to various effects on the cavitation damage. The increase of the sand size or concentration would aggravate the cavitation damage if their sizes are larger than this critical size, conversely, this damage would be relieved.
