What line pressure and pipeline size should a concrete pump use?
Pipeline size and rated pressure depend on the pump model, the concrete mix design, and the maximum vertical or horizontal distance being pumped. Undersized pipeline for the required reach increases friction loss and blockage risk, while pipeline rated below the pump's maximum pressure is a serious safety hazard. Manufacturer charts specify safe combinations of pipe diameter, length, and mix slump for each pump. Sparkline Group provides pipeline sized to the specific job when supplying a pump, along with guidance on mix adjustments for long-distance pumping.
