• Standard

A term to describe the negative pressure on the pump’s suction side. The measurement can be taken from the water surface on the suction side all the way up to the center line of the pump’s hydraulics. Visit: Boom Pumps […]

It is a type of concrete mix that uses lime as a binding material composite with a fine aggregate such as sand and gravel for a coarse aggregate. The ratio depends on the construction type, but the standard proportions are […]

• Standard

This process is used to reinforce excavations, and is very effective on structures extending underground or high above ground, like high-rises. Shotcrete is typically used in tandem with lagging and other earth anchors. Visit: Boom Pumps Page

• Standard

A rich mixture contains the highest portion of cement in relation to liquid components, as opposed to PCC or even lean mixes, which have a lower cement to liquid ratio. Visit: Boom Pumps Page! A harsh mixture contains no aggregate […]

• Standard

A type of concrete mixture that incorporates larger stones in order to fill up bigger areas more efficiently. When plum concrete is used, the price of the materials goes down without compromising the structure, because finely graded concrete is more […]

• Standard

PCC concrete contains a higher cement content than lean concrete, which has a higher water content and is therefore more liquid in consistency. Plain cement concrete (PCC) has a higher cement to water ratio. Check Boom Pumps Info!

• Standard

A hydraulic pump is designed to change its mechanical energy into fluid power. These types of pumps are all positive displacement; the outlet flow and inlet flow are sealed off from each other. Small quantities of fluid are allowed to […]

• Standard

A pump that enhances water pressure and forces faster flowing rates through plumbing pipes. Check Boom Pumps Info!
