Description

Ductile iron pipes: Ductile iron pipes are a type of cast iron pipe that is more resistant to breakage. Ductile iron pipes are often used for water mains and other high-pressure applications.

When choosing a type of pipe please be sure to check on the following: –

  • The type of fluid being transported: Some types of pipes are not compatible with certain types of fluids. For example, galvanized steel pipes should not be used to transport water, as they can leach lead into the water supply.
  • The temperature and pressure of the fluid: Some types of pipes have a limited temperature and pressure range. It is important to choose a pipe that can withstand the temperature and pressure of the fluid being transported.
  • The cost of the pipe: Pipes vary in cost depending on the material and the size of the pipe. It is important to choose a pipe that is affordable and meets the needs of the application.
