## Description

This MCP server provides technical calculation tools for concrete pumping operations. It helps engineers and site managers determine the total discharge pressure needed to overcome friction, vertical lift, and fitting losses using `calculate_required_pressure`. You can verify if specific equipment is suitable for a job with `verify_pump_capability`, analyze pipe diameter efficiency with `evaluate_pipeline_efficiency`, and summarize physical site setups using `get_line_configuration_summary`.

## Tools

### evaluate_pipeline_efficiency
Analyzes how the chosen pipe diameter impacts the pressure requirements

### calculate_required_pressure
Determines the total discharge pressure needed at the pump to overcome all system resistances

### get_line_configuration_summary
Provides a high-level summary of the physical setup for site planning

### verify_pump_capability
Checks if a specific pump model can meet the requirements of a calculated pressure profile

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the required pressure for a 100m pipeline, 125mm diameter, 10m vertical rise, 100mm slump, and 30m3/h flow rate.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total required pressure is 15.4 bar, consisting of 8.2 bar friction loss, 2.1 bar static head loss, and 5.1 bar fitting loss.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Can a pump with 25 bar max pressure and 40m3/h max flow handle a requirement of 20 bar and 30m3/h?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the pump is capable. It has a pressure margin of 5.0 bar and a flow margin of 10.0 m3/h.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a 100mm diameter pipe efficient for 50m length, 100mm slump, and 40m3/h flow rate?
```

**Response:** 
```
The pressure loss is 0.12 bar per meter, and the diameter is considered efficient for this configuration.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I know if my pump can handle the job?**
Use the `verify_pump_capability` tool. Provide the required pressure and flow rate calculated by the system, along with your pump's maximum rated pressure and flow rate to see if it is capable.

**Does the calculation include the resistance from pipe bends?**
Yes. When using `calculate_required_pressure`, you can provide the `bendEquivalentLengthM` to account for the additional resistance caused by elbows, tees, and hoses.

**How does concrete slump affect the pressure?**
Stiffer concrete (lower slump) increases friction. The `calculate_required_pressure` tool uses the slump value to accurately estimate the higher pressure required to move thicker material.
