Key Features of Ductile Iron Pipes

• High tensile strength and High yield strength
• High impact resistance and fatigue resistance
• High elongation [ductility]
• Good Resistance to handling / transportation damage
• Simple Push-on type jointing System
• Offers considerable joint deflection
• Even unskilled workers can join the pipes
• Special Joints available to resist longitudinal joint withdrawal.
• Reliable and cost effective internal and external corrosion protection.
• Resistant to stray current effect due to electrical discontinuity at joints
• Impermeable to gas and organic contaminant
• Imported back-fill not normally required
• Full range of ductile iron fittings available
• Easy pipe location when buried
• Under pressure connections can be provided
• Transmission of raw, potable and sea water.
• Distribution of potable water and gas.
• Transmission of domestic and industrial effluent.
• Fire-fighting systems - on-shore and off-shore.
• Pipelines in ground conditions which are susceptible to subsidence and movement.
• Pipelines under major carriage-ways.
• Pipelines in hilly Terrains.
• Ash slurry disposal.
• Driven piles.
