Advantages of ductile iron pipe compared to other types of pipes
1- Resistance to corrosion due to the specific cast iron properties and protective coating.
2- Resistance to damages caused by loading and transportation processes, sudden internal pressure (hammer pressure).
3-Sutable for installation in loose soil with high level of underground water beds.
4- Very smooth inner surface concluding to the value of 140 corresponding to Hazen Williams coefficient.
5-Resistance to damages caused by loading and transportation processes
6-Can accommodate ground movement.
7-Suitable for cutting and direct tapping
8-Suitable for mountainous areas
9- High working pressure compared with other types of pipes.
10-Saving money due to lower pumping cost.
