Note:  Calculated output curves indicate pumping capability only.  In actual practice the material varies from free flowing, easily excavated material to compacted and/or difficult excavations.  When used for estimating actual outputs, the nature of the material must be considered. Consult Mud Cat for other dredging conditions outside these curves.
