5.2.1 Piping layout
BETON MASTER can pump slurries horizontally, upwards or downwards. Here below are a few general rules that should be
followed when setting up the various layouts.

FIG.13 FIG.14
- HORIZONTAL PUMPING
In case of horizontal pumping simply lay out the pipe in the desired layout and connect it to the first section described above.
- VERTICAL PUMPING
Vertical sections should be fastened and supported by collars (FIG. 14-REF. 1).
- DOWNWARD PUMPING
Downward sections should be fastened and supported by collars (FIG. 15-REF. 1).
Measures should be taken to prevent the concrete from dropping too fast along downward sections, for example by installing a
curve and a reverse curve as in FIG. 15 or by laying out a sloping section.
With this kind of layout lubricating the pipes with slurry should be carried out as follows:
- introduce two pipe sponges into the first section of the piping (FIG. 16)
- pump the slurry
This will lubricate the entire downward section. If the downward section is very long, we recommend pumping additional
sponges and slurry.
