Characteristics of ductile iron pipes


(1) Pressure bearing performance

Water supply pipes are usually buried underground and are inevitably affected by loads from the land and vehicles. Ductile iron pipes have the nature of iron and the properties of steel, which can ensure that the pipes can effectively resist external loads and are more economical to lay;

(2) Hydraulic performance

During peak water use, ductile iron pipes can withstand higher internal pressures; in addition, the inner lining of ductile iron pipes is smooth and uses cement mortar lining, with an equivalent roughness K value of 0.030 mm;

(3) Sealing performance

Ductile iron pipes use flexible interfaces. After rigorous sealing tests, they can effectively prevent various forms of penetration and erosion and significantly reduce the leakage rate of pipeline interfaces;

(4) Anti-corrosion performance

Cement mortar lining is often used for internal anti-corrosion of ductile iron pipes, and zinc spraying + asphalt spraying finishing layer is used for external anti-corrosion, which can effectively isolate the erosion of poor water quality and corrosive soil.
