Ductile Iron Pipes
Advantages of Ductile Iron Pipes
- Inherent resistance of ductile iron against corrosion along with improvement via various coatings
- Appropriate resistance against internal pressures such as water hammer and external pressures like traffic loads and etc.
- Suitable for use in loose ground with high level of subterranean water
- Resistance against electrical currents due to use of rubber gasket at the joint points
- Adequate resistance against damages caused by displacement and transportation
- Flexibility and adequate resistance against landslide, on faults and earthquake-prone region.
- Great potential for cutting and reaming
- Appropriate for mountainous areas due to lack of need for especial bedding and precise consideration of soil compaction and trench depth
- High working pressures comparing to other types of pipe
- Low-pressure drop as a result of lower pumping cost due to larger actual inside diameters and C coefficient of the pipes.
Applications of Ductile Iron Pipes
- Drinking water transmission and distribution pipelines
- Industrial and domestic sewerage networks
- Sea water transmission systems
- Irrigation and drainage networks
- Water treatment plant networks
- Firefighting systems
- Artificial snow making machine
