FAQs of Ductile Cast Iron Pipe
Q How are ductile cast iron pipes installed in water supply and sewerage systems
A Installation typically involves connecting socket and spigot ends using pushon joints with rubber gaskets ensuring a tight leakproof fit Pipes are assembled endtoend with flanged joints available when required for specific fittings or connections
Q What internal and external coatings protect these pipes against corrosion
A The pipes feature an internal cement mortar lining to guard against corrosive and abrasive fluids while the exterior is coated with bitumen or zinc often finished with an additional protective layer or epoxy treatment for enhanced durability
Q When is the use of K9 or K12 pressure class ductile iron pipes recommended
A K9 or K12 classification refers to the pressure rating and wall thickness K9 pipes are often chosen for standard municipal water supply and sewerage while K12 is used where higher pressure or greater mechanical strength is necessary such as largescale irrigation or main distribution lines
Q What processing technique is used to manufacture these pipes
A These pipes are produced through centrifugal casting which ensures uniform wall thickness excellent material strength and consistent surface finish meeting the strict tolerances required for reliable operation
Q Where can these pipes be sourced in India
A Manufacturers dealers suppliers retailers and wholesalers across India offer these pipes typically adhering to ISO 2531 EN 545 standards They can be customized in size and thickness as per project requirements
Q What are the main benefits of using ductile cast iron pressure pipes for infrastructure projects
A These pipes offer high tensile strength superior corrosion resistance ease of installation and long service life Their smooth internal surfaces minimize friction losses enhancing fluid flow efficiency for water sewage and irrigation purposes
Q How does the end protection system work during transportation and storage
A Plastic caps are fitted on pipe ends to prevent damage contamination and ingress of debris ensuring that joint surfaces remain intact and ready for troublefree installation at the project site
