Slurry pumps are different from ordinary fluid pumps in piping arrangement. Slurry pumps need to consider the abrasion of the pipe wall by the service in the pipe and the anti-clogging of the pipe，so it cannot increase the pipe flexibility by increasing the number of elbows or the Π-shaped like ordinary fluid pump. The piping of the slurry pump should be short and straight. Under this condition, this article is based on CAESAR II software to study the piping arrangement of slurry pump by setting reasonable supports or hangers. So that, the nozzle load of the pump is within its allowable range, ensuring the long-term safety and stability of the slurry pump running.
