Line Diameter
In general, the larger the inside diameter of the pipeline, the less pressure required to move the concrete through the pipeline at a given rate. There is a major drawback to large-diameter pipelines however: the larger the line, the more labor, blocking and bracing it will require. Rule of thumb: the maximum size aggregate should be no more than one-third the inside diameter of the delivery system.
