Ductile Iron Pipe

Ductile Iron (DI) pipes have good mechanical properties, in addition to high durability and strength, makes them ideal for high-pressure applications. Ductile Iron pipes are used extensively in systems transporting potable water, industrial water, irrigation water, and pressure sewage. Metallic pipes, primarily Cast Iron had been used for over two centuries for water and wastewater transportation. Ductile Iron pipes which belong to the family of Cast Iron have been developed by treating the molten low-sulphur base iron with magnesium under closely controlled conditions. The startling change in the metal is characterized by the free graphite in Ductile Iron being deposited in the spheroidal or nodular form, leading to maximum continuity of the metal matrix thereby forming a stronger and tougher ductile material with high ductility and impact strength.

With protective linings and coatings like cement mortar, Bitumen, Epoxy, and Polyurethane, Ductile Iron pipes provide an exceptionally long life to serve the water and sanitation networks.
