The velocity for removal of particles adhering on a wall has been measured for polystyrene latex (PSL) and iron oxide particles at laminar and turbulent flow in a glass cell. The results indicate that larger particles detache at lower flow velocities and the width of the velocity range for removing adhering particles is wider when the particle size is smaller in the laminar flow regime. Both the viscous drag force for removing particles determined experimentally and the adhesive force obtained theoretically are proportional to the particle diameter, and the coefficients of friction were estimated to be 0.01–0.08 and 0.01–0.02 for PSL and iron oxide particles, respectively. The ranges of the viscous force, the adhesive force and the coefficient of friction are not so far from the values given by Kanaoka et al. [2].
