This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 21573-2:2008), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— added the actual pumping output and efficiency measurement under defined working conditions
(e.g concrete grade and pumping speed, etc.) in order to describe the actual pumping performance;
— added the following characteristic parameters measuring methods:
— operating mass;
— overall dimensions including length (L), width (W) and height (H);
— delivery pressure of pump for driving the distributing and outriggers;
— maximum load on each outrigger;
— outrigger speed;
— complemented performance measuring methods and indicated conditions in the following clauses/
subclauses:
— concrete delivery pressure;
— feeding height of hopper;
— length, height and angle of the boom;
— speed of the concrete-placing boom;
