DUCTILE iron pipe The Standard for Quality andPerformanceSince its introduction into the marketplace in 1955, DUCTILE Ironpipe has been recognized as the industry standard for modernwater and wastewater systems. More than four decades of fieldexperience have proven its strength, durability, and reliability for transporting raw and potable water, sewage, slurries, andprocess s high degree of dependability is primarily due to itshigh strength, durability, and impact and corrosion and manufactured to the industry s most stringent standards, DUCTILE iron pipe resists damage during shipping andhandling, and, once installed, withstands the most demandingoperating conditions, including water hammer, frozen ground,deep trenches, areas of high water table and heavy traffic, rivercrossings.
Due to its spheroidal graphite form, Ductile Iron has approximately twice the strength of Gray Iron as determined by tensile, beam, ring bending, and bursting tests. Its impact strength and elongation are many times greater than Gray Iron’s. As these photomicrographs show,Ductile Iron (above left) differs from Gray Iron (above right) in that
