Can ductile iron pipes be installed outdoors?

Can ductile iron pipes be installed outdoors?

Answer:

Ductile iron pipe is a kind of cast iron. It is an alloy of iron, carbon and silicon.
Ductile iron pipes can be installed outdoors.
Graphite is exist in spherical form, usually graphite size is 6-7, casting spheroidization grade control requirements for 1-3 quality (spheroidization rate greater than 80%), so the mechanical properties of the material itself has been improved, has the essence of iron, steel performance. The annealed ductile iron pipe is composed of ferrite and pearlite. The mechanical properties of the ductile iron pipe are better.
