A method of measuring the abrasiveness of an abrasive fluid by exposing a radioactive abradable material to a flow of the abrasive fluid, and measuring the rate at which radiation is being emitted from the fluid-contacted radioactive abradable material. The decrease due to an abrading away of the radioactive abradable material that occurs in the rate at which the radiation is emitted from the fluid-contacted radioactive abradable material is measured. The amount of abrasion of the abradable material is then used to measure the abrasiveness of the abrasive fluid.
