Ductile iron pipe is a pipe made of ductile cast iron commonly used for potable water transmission and distribution.[1] This type of pipe is a direct development of earlier cast iron pipe, which it has superseded. Ductile iron can be bent without breaking, whereas cast iron is brittle and breaks when bent.
Durability, energy savings while in service, recyclability and expected lifespan of over 100 years make Ductile Iron Pipes an environmentally superior products over other piping materials.
Ductile Iron Pipes are widely used for the following applications:
Potable water supply : Ductile Iron Pipes are majorly used in the transportation of potable water from surface water sources like rivers, lakes, reservoirs etc. to our households as rising mains, pumping mains, gravity mains and distribution pipes
Irrigation : Ductile Iron Pipes are the preferred material of construction for piped irrigation networks due to its superior internal and external coatings
Sewerage : Due to its properties of high durability coupled with corrosion resistance, Ductile Iron pipes also make an excellent choice for various sewerage solutions
Industrial Usage : Ductile Iron Pipes have been used for transportation of water and for various other uses in several industries and power plants as raw water intake pipeline and other in-plant piping solutions
