Ductile Iron Pipe

Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP) is a high-strength, durable, and corrosion-resistant piping solution widely used in municipal water supply, wastewater systems, and industrial pipeline projects. Manufactured with a spheroidal graphite structure, ductile iron pipe offers superior tensile strength and flexibility compared with traditional cast iron, ensuring long-term reliability and safety for critical infrastructure.


Since 1955, ductile iron pipes have been the preferred choice for modern water supply and wastewater treatment systems. They offer exceptional strength, durability, and reliability for transporting raw water, drinking water, wastewater, slurry, and process chemicals.


Ductile iron pipes are designed and manufactured to the industry's most stringent standards, effectively withstanding damage during transportation and handling. Once installed, they can withstand the most demanding operational conditions, including water hammer, frozen ground, deep trenches, high groundwater levels, high-traffic areas, river crossings, pipe supports, rocky channels, and moving, expanding, and unstable soils.


Technical Standards & Specifications


Our ductile iron pipes are manufactured and tested in accordance with internationally recognized standards to meet diverse project requirements:

  • ISO 2531 / EN 545 / EN 598 – Ductile iron pipes for water and wastewater

  • ANSI / AWWA C151 / A21.51 – Ductile iron pipe, centrifugally cast

  • ANSI / AWWA C104 / A21.4 – Cement-mortar lining for ductile iron pipe

  • ASTM and AWWA standards for joints, fittings, and accessories


Connection & Joint Options


To accommodate various installation conditions and pressure requirements, multiple joint systems are available:

  • Push-On (TYTON® Type) Joints: Fast installation with reliable sealing performance.

  • Restrained Joints: Suitable for high-pressure pipelines and areas with axial loads.

  • Mechanical Joints: Flexible and widely used in municipal water systems.

  • Flanged Joints: Ideal for pump stations, valves, and equipment connections.


Benefits of ductile iron pipes


1. High Elastic Deformation and Crack Resistance: Ductile iron structure offers excellent flexibility and crack resistance, making it highly durable under various conditions.

2. Strength Under Loads: Ductile iron pipes maintain their integrity and strength even under significant loads, ensuring long-term reliability.

3. Pressure Resistance: These pipes can withstand high pressure, making them ideal for various industrial and commercial applications.

4. Corrosion Resistance: Ductile iron is highly resistant to corrosion, extending the lifespan of the pipes and reducing maintenance costs.

5. Push-Fit Joint System: The push-fit joint system simplifies installation and ensures a secure and leak-free connection.

6. Maintenance-Free: Ductile iron pipe is exceptionally easy and safe to install by trained contractors. DIP requires no complicated laying schedules or complicated line-and-grade diagrams. It’s good for use in a wide range of conditions, and it maintains its structural integrity even when it’s subject to direct tapping in straight lines. DIP also resists damage during installation, transport and handling, and it’s virtually maintenance-free once installed.

7. Easy to Process: Ductile iron is also readily machinable, an important requirement in any pipe that must be drilled, tapped or cut.


Main Applications


Ductile iron pipes are trusted worldwide for a wide range of infrastructure projects, including:

  • Municipal drinking water transmission and distribution

  • Wastewater and sewage systems

  • Industrial water supply and cooling systems

  • Water treatment plants and pumping stations

  • Underground pipelines crossing roads, railways, and rivers


Frequently Asked Questions


What is the advantage of ductile iron pipe compared with PVC or HDPE?

Ductile iron pipe offers higher mechanical strength, better impact resistance, and longer service life, making it suitable for high-load and high-pressure applications.

Can ductile iron pipe be used for both water and wastewater?

Yes, ductile iron pipes are widely used for potable water, wastewater, and sewage systems when manufactured according to appropriate standards.

What joint type should be selected?

Joint selection depends on pressure, installation environment, and project design. Push-on joints are common for standard pipelines, while restrained or flanged joints are used for higher pressure or special conditions.
