The upper left quadrant is the beginning and end point
of the graph, and it shows maximum output, pressure,
and power for a specific machine. The upper right
quadrant accounts for the relationship between
concrete output and pipeline diameters. The lower right
quadrant accounts for the resistance to flow of the
entire pipeline system. The lower left quadrant
accounts for the pumpability of the concrete.
To use the nomograph, you begin at output required
and move clockwise until you encounter the lines that
represent your job situation. Each time you meet the
line that applies, you make a 90° turn until you come to
a point on the bottom of the upper left quadrant that
shows pressure required (Figure 50).
To illustrate the use of a nomograph, we will use a
hypothetical job situation with the following
specifications:
1. We will need an average output of 75 cubic yards
per hour, but we will be pumping only 75% of the
time. The rest of the time will be spent moving
hose, removing pipe lengths, waiting for concrete
trucks, and taking care of miscellaneous jobs. This
means that when we are actually pumping, we will
need an output rate of 75 ÷.75 = 100 yd
3
/hr.
2. We will use 5-in.-diameter pipeline.
3. We will need the following pipeline lengths:
Separately laid pipeline:
• 40 ft. of 5-in. rubber hose
• 150 ft. of 5-in. horizontal steel pipe
Boom pipe, elbows, and deck system:
• 13 ft. of 5-in. rubber hose
• 144 ft. of 5-in. steel pipe (on the boom and
pump deck)
• 5.25 ft. of 6–to–5-in. reducer (on the pump)
• 4 5-in. 45° elbows, radius 250 mm
• 11 5-in. 90° elbows, radius 250 mm
• 2 6-in. 90° elbows, radius 250 mm
4. We will specify a slump of 5-6 in. and use the 5-in.
line on the chart.
5. In addition, when we add the pressure for the
vertical run, we will have to add 1.1 times 70 ft =
77 PSI.
All of these criteria will be explained in detail as we go
through the individual quadrants.
