Advantages and disadvantages of ductile iron pipes

Answer:

The ductile iron pipe is widely used not only in foreign countries, and has also been in the country to promote the use of good, in many areas of our country, ductile iron pipe has been widely used in medium and small diameter water supply pipe; compare the performance of ductile iron pipe and steel pipe: steel pipe can be divided into seamed steel pipe and seamless in the water supply pipe, commonly used in welded tube. Compared with ductile iron pipes, the steel tube has the advantages of good toughness, high tensile strength, thin tube wall, high pressure resistance, long pipes and less interfaces. The biggest drawback is that the corrosion resistance is poor and the price is high. So, in general, except for small bore pipes and special projects (such as pipe jacking works);
Comparison between ductile iron pipe and universal cast iron pipe: the process of making ductile iron pipe is cast by adding alkaline earth metal or rare metal such as magnesium and calcium in the raw material of common cast iron pipe. The casting process of nodular cast iron pipe casting method and water cooled centrifugal casting hot continuous casting method, which method is water, the world's most advanced technology, different technology of ductile cast iron and cast iron pipe technology performance comparison, not only to maintain the ordinary cast iron pipe corrosion resistance, and has the advantages of high strength and toughness good, thin wall, light weight, impact resistance, bending performance, convenient installation.
Generally not used in high pressure pipe network (6MPa or more). Because the pipe is relatively bulky, the machine must be used when installing. When the water leak occurs after the test, all the pipes must be dug out, and the pipe can be hoisted to the height of the clamps. The clamps can be installed to prevent leakage.
