This report describes pumps for transporting and placing concrete. Rigid,and flexible pipelines are discussed and couplings and other accessories described. Recommendations for proportioning pumpable concrete suggest optimum gradation of aggregates; outline water, cement, and admixture requirements; and emphasize the need for evaluation of trial mixes for
pumpability. The importance of saturating lightweight aggregates is
stressed. Suggestions are given for layout of lines; for maintaining uniform delivery rate, as well as uniform quality of concrete at the end of the line; and for cleaning out pipelines.
This report does not cover shotcreting or pumping of nonstructural insulating or cellular concrete.
