## Abstract
Abstract Hydroelectric power plants with the aim of being used to generate electrical energy are mostly operated in areas with sedimentation content which can cause wear and tear on the components of the hydropower plant. This activity is emphasized to determine the effect of quartz sand on the rate of abrasion on the guide vanes of the Francis type water turbine. This activity was carried out using a water turbine guide blade abrasion test tool with a guide blade test object made of SUS 304 stainless steel material. The results are presented quantitatively and qualitatively, the greater the concentration and diameter of the quartz sand particles, the water pressure and the angle given at the same time, the greater the rate of abrasion that occurs in the francis type water turbine guide vane. The highest abrasion rate was 5.10 (g/cm2 x hour) in the angle variation test with a constant Q and a water: sand ratio of 70%: 30%.
