1. A method of estimating a life expectancy of a tool used in a pumping operation, comprising:

  • obtaining a property of the tool including a chemical composition of the tool;

    selecting a pumping parameter of a fluid flowing in the tool during the pumping operation, wherein the pumping parameter of the fluid is related to erosion of the tool;

    measuring a value of the pumping parameter of the fluid during the pumping operation; and

    estimating, during the pumping operation, a mass wear rate of the tool using the obtained property of the downhole tool including the chemical composition of the tool and the measured value of the pumping parameter of the fluid.
