Proper Sizing of Lines and Equipment

In order to optimize the concrete pumping operation, the most efficient configuration of the system must be determined. A specific line pressure must be determined to move concrete at a specified rate flow through a pipeline of a particular length and diameter. The major factors affecting pipeline pressure are:

• Pumping rate
• Line diameter
• Horizontal and vertical distances
• Configuration, including reducing sections

In addition, a number of other factors must be taken into account when determining line pressure, including:

• The vertical rise
• The number and severity of bends
• The amount of flexible hose used in the line
