For more than a century, American engineers have been using iron pipe to build the infrastructure of America's water systems. Today's modern iron pipes are manufactured to last for more than 100 years. There are many ironclad facts about this ductile iron pipe that make it the industry standard of choice for water systems.
Steel foundries produce ductile iron pipes. Because of their extreme temperatures, they are red hot. While ductile iron has all of the attractive qualities of cast iron, such as corrosion resistance and machinability, its additional toughness and strength add to the reliability. Ductile iron has additional metallurgical processes and significant casting improvements. Ductile iron is twice as strong as cast iron.
Its high level of durability is due to its strength and impact. It is designed to resist damage during transportation. Installed ductile pipe is designed to withstand harsh operating conditions such as river crossings, unstable soils, high water table traffic, deep trenches and permafrost.
Field and laboratory tests have proven that ductile iron pipe is equal to or greater than cast iron pipe in terms of corrosion resistance. In addition, polyethylene casings are available to enhance corrosion resistance. These casings prevent direct contact between the corrosive soil and the pipe. There are also no accelerated corrosion cells formed at the coating gaps. The method of installing polyethylene sashes requires that the pipe be wrapped in plate or pipe prior to installation. It is economical, effective and easy to install.
Ductile iron pipe is made from recycled steel and scrap iron metal.
Ductile iron itself is a recyclable material.
Years of use have shown no adverse health risks to the population.
The use of ductile iron pipe saves energy consumption.
Ductile iron pipe does not leach harmful chemicals into public drinking water.
America's vast water system infrastructure is passing its century mark and is in dire need. According to the American Water Works Association, the cost of this venture will exceed $1 trillion. There is no doubt that ductile iron pipe is the smart choice for this massive effort. With its superior strength, it can handle the pressure. Ductile iron piping systems can last up to 100 years, and it will also reduce the potential for costly accidents and disasters.
