Ductile Pipe Quick Details

Midas supplies C40 ductile iron pipes manufactured to ISO 2531, EN 545, and EN 598. Whether your project specification calls for ductile cast iron pipe, DI pipe, spun cast ductile iron pipe, or nodular (SG) iron pipe under the C-class pressure system, Midas produces and supplies each wall thickness class from a single factory in Shanxi, China, sized from DN80 to DN2600. If your technical drawing lists a specific class C40, you can confirm the exact specification below and request a quotation directly.

Understanding C-Class Ductile Iron Pipe

Under ISO 2531 and EN 545, ductile iron pipe is classified in two parallel systems: the K-class, based on wall thickness, and the C-class, based on the pipe's allowable working pressure. A C40 ductile iron pipe is designed for a nominal pressure rating in the 40 bar range, while C30, C25, and C20 correspond to progressively lower pressure ratings and thinner wall sections. This makes C-class pipe the specification most commonly written into water utility and EPC contract drawings when the project's design pressure — rather than a general wall-thickness index — is the governing factor.

Because C20, C25, C30, and C40 share the same external diameter for a given DN but differ in wall thickness, buyers should confirm the exact class stated in their project specification before ordering — a C25 ductile iron pipe and a C40 ductile iron pipe of the same DN are not interchangeable in a pressure-rated line. Midas manufactures all four classes in parallel, so a single order can combine different classes across a project's trunk main and branch sections if required.


ClassApprox. Pressure RatingTypical Application
C20Approx. 20 barLow-pressure distribution branches, non-critical sewage lines
C25Approx. 25 barStandard municipal distribution mains, irrigation lines
C30Approx. 30 barMedium-pressure trunk mains, industrial water supply
C40Approx. 40 barHigh-pressure trunk mains, pumping station discharge lines, elevated-head systems

Buyers sourcing a c25 ductile iron pipe for a standard distribution main, or a c20 ductile cast iron pipe supplier for a lower-pressure branch network, will generally find the thinner-wall classes offer a lower per-meter cost while still meeting the project's design pressure — while c40 ductile iron pipe is specified where the line must withstand higher static or surge pressure, such as pumping station discharge or elevated terrain.


Applications by Project Type

Municipal Water Distribution: C40 classes are commonly specified for standard distribution mains where working pressure is moderate and cost efficiency matters over long pipeline runs.
Pumping Stations & High-Head Systems: C40 ductile iron pipe is typically specified for discharge lines and sections subject to pressure surge or elevated static head.
Sewage & Drainage Networks: C40 classes, lined to EN598, are used in gravity and low-pressure sewage mains.
Industrial & Process Water: Higher classes (C40) support industrial plant piping where pressure fluctuation is more frequent.
Irrigation & Agricultural Conveyance: Lower classes (C40) are typically sufficient for gravity-fed or low-pressure irrigation trunk lines.

FAQ

What is the difference between C-class and K-class ductile iron pipe?

K-class is defined by wall thickness (e.g. K9), while C-class is defined by allowable working pressure (e.g. C40 for approximately 40 bar). Both follow ISO 2531 / EN 545 / EN 598 and are manufactured by Midas in parallel.

Do you offer OEM or private-label production for C-class ductile iron pipe?
Yes, Midas accepts OEM orders including custom coatings, markings, and project-specific specifications for buyers sourcing under their own brand or project documentation.

What documents are provided with each shipment?
Every order includes a Mill Test Certificate and hydrostatic test report; third-party inspection (e.g. SGS) can be arranged prior to shipment on request.

What is the minimum order quantity and lead time?
Lead time is approximately 45 days for first/trial orders; larger volumes are confirmed upon PO. Contact us with your required class, diameter, and quantity for an exact quotation.

Why Choose Midas C40 Ductile Iron Pipes?

Superior Pressure Resistance

Midas C40 Ductile Iron Pipes are designed to withstand up to 40 bar (4000 kPa) of internal pressure, making them suitable for high-pressure water supply and drainage systems. With these pipes, buyers can be confident in their ability to handle significant pressure loads, ideal for both municipal and industrial applications.

Corrosion Resistance for Longevity

The pipes are equipped with advanced corrosion-resistant coatings, such as epoxy or zinc coatings, providing superior protection against corrosive environments. This extends the life of the pipes and reduces the need for frequent maintenance, making them a cost-effective choice for long-term use.

Durability and Strength

Manufactured from ductile iron, Midas C40 Pipes offer enhanced mechanical properties, providing greater strength, toughness, and resistance to cracking compared to traditional cast iron pipes. This ensures that they perform reliably under high stress and in challenging environments.

Quality Assurance & Certification

Midas ensures that all C40 pipes meet industry standards such as ISO 2531 and EN545, which are essential for maintaining the quality and performance of the pipes. Buyers can trust that these products have passed rigorous testing to meet international specifications.
