Concrete pump line priming inventory calculator

Calculate internal line volume and priming inventory with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use internal line volume and priming inventory to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Examples

Examples

Try the starting example

JSON Pipe segments [internal diameter mm,length m]
[[100,30],[80,20]]
Supplied priming allowance multiplier
1.2
Internal line volume (litres)
336.150414
Priming inventory (litres)
403.380497

Try another scenario

JSON Pipe segments [internal diameter mm,length m]
[[100,30],[80,20]]
Supplied priming allowance multiplier
1.5
Internal line volume (litres)
336.150414
Priming inventory (litres)

Calculation method

Calculation method

Internal line volume (litres)

sum(math.pi*(r[0]/1000)**2/4*r[1]*1000 for r in a)

Priming inventory (litres)

b*sum(math.pi*(r[0]/1000)**2/4*r[1]*1000 for r in a)

Symbols and units
a
JSON Pipe segments [internal diameter mm,length m]
b
Supplied priming allowance multiplier

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Calculation steps and notation

sum(list) adds all entries in the list.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Circular internal pipe volume and explicitly supplied priming multiplier; priming material specification remains external. Supported limits: All numeric inputs must be finite. Only the explicitly described mathematical scenario is supported.
Are these inputs private?

These calculations run in your browser. A shared link contains the values you choose to share. Only questions submitted to the separate AI finder are sent to OpenAI.
