Why Should We Use Ductile Iron Pipe and What It’s Benefits

Ductile iron pipe produced from ductile cast iron, is a gray cast iron in which graphite has a spherical shaped structure. This pipe is a product of advance metallurgy and provides specific properties for conveying water under pressure.

This iron pipe is used in Supra Group for water supply and sewerage lines, the corrosion resistance of Ductile iron pipe has proven in wide range of Cast iron. Ductile iron maintains all advantage of cast iron and improving on strength and ductility. This material has high strength and allowing light piping structure to be fabricated.

Now we are discuss about why ductile iron pipe is useful for water piping projects, here we considers some key points-

• Ductile iron pipe provides long term performance, its performance can proof the durability and utilities in water supply projects and hydro projects.
• Ductile iron pipe save operating costs including pumping costs and possible damage from other construction. This iron pipe has more energy than other competing pipeline materials. If ductile iron pipe using in water system you can save money in electricity bill.
• If you are think about the environment, ductile iron pipe is best choice for projects because it is not made from toxic material so it is very easy to recycled. The manufacturing production of its raw materials, ductile iron has small carbon materials and others.
• The lifecycle cost is most effective when it comes on ductile iron pipe, it counts major benefits of ductile iron pipe. Its lifecycle cost is lower than other material that is economical to operate and efficiently installed.

Benefits of Ductile iron pipe-

• Once it is installed, it require very less maintenance and is designed for at least 100 years and it is also itself 100% recycled material.
• The resistant to corrosion in soil , typically required in effectively economical polyethylene in any water work projects or association.
• The conservative design of ductile iron pipe shows its strength, durability, protection against surge and heavy pressure loading many years.
• The installation process is easy and safe for workers they can cut and easily tap ductile iron pipe on site. It reduce the resists damage during handling and installation.
• The metallurgy nature of ductile iron pipe can easily located underground with conventional pipe locations.

Ductile Iron pipe Application-

• It is used to transport and distribute clean water, which testify to better than gray cast iron pipe cast iron have strength and toughness. It can operate pressure and can excavation pipelines construction and transportation requirements.
• The durability and excellent characteristics of ductile iron pipe facilitate effluent discharge of water flow it also outfalls into oceans.

This iron pipe has also some other application which included- river crossings, bridge crossing , pier supported piping, sludge transfer line and gravity slope condition, piping in lake beds.
