I used to use those gauges every now and then but these days I just check the pipes at various points every so often. If I have a liner wearing through, I change it immediately. Our future Pump Operator learned new pump language at 6:20. Keep up the videos, we love to watch these and learn!
@canadianconcretepumper1979 Thanks! Our boy loves watching these videos. I do my best to keep ours kid friendly but that's tough to do when on a construction site. For some reason, he wants run a belt though.
Well maty I’ve learned so much on this video I think I would love to work with you. The way to explain is very good any jobs . Keep these coming there brilliant reagards keep safe Les 🏴🇨🇦🇬🇧👍
Another good one pumper brother, using the machine to do the work. Whenever I do elbow work/maintenance, I also clock the pipes if needed. OCD is a good thing in our business, even if it pisses people off. Cheers
Hi Scott. How do you check your elbows? We have the same digital caliper but it does not reach the center of our elbows, and the ultrasound doesn't give us consistent readings on the cast iron. Cheers
We have an ultrasonic which actually does a half decent job of measuring the cast elbows. The other method we have used in the past (although admittedly primitive) is just putting the elbows on a scale and comparing their weight to that of a brand new elbow. With cast elbows being relatively inexpressive, we typically just swap them out well before they are actually completely worn out.
I cannot recall exactly where we purchased ours from, but here’s a link to the identical unit: www.generaltechshop.com/product/kroeplin-c450-0-50-mm-digital-external-measuring-gauge-for-grooves-and-thickness-measurement
There’s no money in the long run to be saved by running pipes thinner than the recommended minimum thickness. New windows, pressure washing roofs, paint jobs for cars, loads of concrete sent back, weeks worth of paperwork to appease safety officials, irreparable damage to a companies reputation, and not to mention the potential legal bills as well as moral implications of anyone ever were to get injured. I could go on and on (actually, I just did). Soooooo many reasons not to get negligent with regards to properly maintaining pipeline components. It ain’t worth it.
auto grease to every pivot makes me jealous, have to spend a good hour on a slow day greasing a boom. while it’s good to have a chance to go over everything you might not be able to normally on site, having those back to back to back hellacious days, unfortunately leaves less than ideal time to open it up and hit it at the yard. our ergo 2 47-5 has a very noisy 2-3 section (B to C) pin. i’ve recently landed that pump as my responsibility, and have been trying to keep up on it, mitigate any further excessive wear. auto grease each section would be a treat
Also, our 38-5 Putz had what we thought was a noisy 2-3 section pin. Turns out the noise was coming from the lifting ram. I believe the fix was to use an additive in the hydraulic oil.
This is the exact unit which we have: www.generaltechshop.com/product/kroeplin-c450-0-50-mm-digital-external-measuring-gauge-for-grooves-and-thickness-measurement
We’ve tried that with seemingly little increase in service life. Filling the swivel gaskets with wax from a toilet gasket is another popular method in our market (I cannot speak with regards to how effective it is as we have never used that method). I have found what is quite easy and effective is just using bentonite on the first prime following the installation of new gaskets. The bentonite fills the voids in the gaskets with heat essentially becomes clay. Works very well.
With our mud we’re getting 3-4 years from a set of pipe. Usually flip and rotate one boom section during each monthly pipe inspection. Can definitely see doing the entire boom every month in markets with harsher material however.
I'd shake hands with Cory any day, greasy little skid he is. Friggin love the raw footage bud, another banger. Keep em up
I’ll pass the kind words along 😂😂😂

Doh!!!!! Gonna have to go back and edit that one. Those were back in the days prior to monetization when I was more fluent in “pump operator” 😂😂😂
I am happy to inform you that said video is now, officially, family-friendly! 😃

Thank you so much for the kinds words. I appreciate you supporting the channel 👍

Absolutely! The twin-wall elbows especially we like to flip end for end as the flanges tend to round off almost before the elbow itself wears through.
Boss man just hooked me up with conforms endurance for the 56..super nice pipe
Best pipe on the market, hands down. 👌
Excellent video, awesome relevant information, thanks a lot to share your knowledge!
Don’t ever stop making this content!

Thanks for the video content. Where can I purchase that thickness gauge?

7:23- How about turning the boom the other way to loosen up the hose pack?
My boss
Runs the pipes until they start leaking concrete ahah but I guess that would be the best way to save money but more risky.

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 100% agreed when i have my own pump in the future I will take all your advice when its comes to saftey side of pumps
What are the benafit of one meter rubber hose before 4 meter or 3 meter end hose
Any job for same pumps having 25 years experience

It’s very convenient on terms of greasing, busy also very inconvenient in terms of keeping things clean 😂

Where can we get the thickness testers for the twin wall please

I am operating same phmp in oman
Have u any can bus issue
Do you only greese up the gasket?
We put silicone in our gasket grove then let i be hard. No slurry dripps. Maybe just here in Sweden we do that 😁

Should be turned once a month flip 45 and 90
