Description
Ductile iron is one of the most versatile materials on the market today with it’s resistance to tensile stress and impact loading , it also displays excellent mechanical properties with a high yield and elongation strength.
Pipes and fittings are manufactured in ductile iron as specified in BS EN 545 and BS EN 598.
BS EN 545 covers ductile iron pipes, fittings and joints which
are used in the construction of pipelines which:
a. convey potable water for human consumption.
b. are installed in both above and below ground applications.
c. are suitable for fluid temperatures between 0º and 50ºC
excluding frost.
BS EN 598 covers ductile iron pipes, fittings, accessories and
joints which are used in the construction of pipelines, drains
and sewers which:
a. convey surface water, domestic wastewater and certain
types of industrial effluents.
b. are installed in both above and below ground applications.
A complete range of ductile iron pipe and fittings for potable water (blue) and sewerage (red) is available pipe from 80mm to 2000mm diameters and pipe can also be fabricated.
The Push Fit socket is the standard joint for below ground water and sewage pipelines. This is a high performance joint suited for distribution mains. Quick and easy to install, requiring no special back fill, Push Fit is capable of angular deflection and longitude withdrawal without loss of performance. Other advantages are, high strength for assured security, able to operate at 60 bar pressure (depending on nominal bore).
Flanged pressure pipelines are suitable for a wide range of industries and applications, primarily, pump stations, treatment works, process plants and rising mains.
The flanged joint offers a high strength and high pressure capability, making a ductile iron pressure pipeline an ideal cost effective material when used in the movement of sewage and water in above ground applications.
It is recommended that flanged pipework is not used in buried situations due to the risk of excessive bending moments.
Both Viking Johnson fittings and Hawle fittings are available to compliment a pressure pipe system.
