Dispersial nature of cement grout makes many difficulties in practical applications of the injection process. It is also difficult to describe by theoretical equations. The rheological models treat cement paste as continuous material. In this paper the new flow equation was derived, which contains the factor of the friction between cement grains introduced to the Bingham model. The possibilities of the calculation of this new factor was presented. The analysis of the calculation’s results of the classical and new equations shows significant differences. The new equation allows to better predict the effects of the real injection applications.
