Paste Backfill Pipeline Design

Paste Backfill Pipeline Design MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Design mining transport pipelines for paste backfill, calculating diameters, pressure drops, and pump needs.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized hydraulic design tools for mining engineers. It enables the calculation of optimal pipe diameters, total pressure losses across routes, and specific pump requirements for non-Newtonian paste backfill transport. Use calculate_pipe_diameters to find suitable pipe sizes, estimate_pressure_drop to determine energy losses, and determine_pump_requirements to specify motor power and pressure capacity.

What pipe diameters are suitable for a throughput of 150 m3/h with a yield stress of 200 Pa, viscosity of 1.5 Pa·s, and density of 1800 kg/m3?

The suggested pipe diameters are 250 mm and 300 mm, with flow velocities of 2.83 m/s and 1.77 m/s respectively.

Calculate the pressure drop for a 500m pipe with a 10m vertical drop, using a 250mm diameter and a yield stress of 200 Pa.

The total pressure drop is 450,000 Pa, consisting of 467,500 Pa in friction loss and a 17,500 Pa gain from the vertical drop.

What pump is needed for a 500,000 Pa pressure drop at 150 m3/h throughput?

The required pump must provide a minimum power of 32,640 Watts and a rated pressure of 500,000 Pa.

You can use the `calculate_pipe_diameters` tool by providing the required throughput, yield stress, viscosity, and density of your material.
