This dataset includes hydraulic data (flow rate and pressure) collected during laboratory experiments at the University of Sheffield, UK. Steady state, accelerating flow transients and decelerating flow transients conditions were created in a full-scale representative pipeline. The files are described in an outline spreadsheet and Matlab files are included for reading the data.<div><br></div><div>This dataset corresponds to "A Novel Demonstration of Adhered Material Mobilisation by Hydraulic Transients" [DOI: 10.1039/c9ew00686a] and "An Experimental Study of How Hydraulic Transients Cause Mobilisation" [DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2021.116890].</div>
