Ductile iron pipe is a type of cast iron pipe that has high ductility and tensile strength. The pipe is made of nodular cast iron, which is produced by adding small amounts of magnesium to the molten iron. This results in a more flexible and durable pipe that can withstand extreme pressure and tough environmental conditions.
Ductile iron pipes are available in a range of sizes and thicknesses to suit different applications. They are typically coated with a protective layer of cement mortar or epoxy to enhance their durability and resistance to corrosion.
It is known by all that the water supply and drainage system and sewer system is crucial for our cities to operate, that makes the ductile iron pipes the most popular product because of their high-strength and corrosion-resistance, they also have good dimensional stability and reliability.
All of these advantages above make ductile iron pipes an important role in city planning and capital construction, which have drawn a lot of attentions in the international market. It is reported that in many countries like the US, India, ductile iron pipes are widely used due to their low cost and long service life.
In 2021, the European Union issued the “First Batch of European Green Investment Plan Issuance Standard Technical Guidelines" (TEG), and ductile iron pipes are listed as one of the products that meet green investment standards, which helps European ductile iron pipes market to develop.
In China, some cities implemented new pipe network construction plans, which promoted the growth of the ductile iron pipe market. At the same time, the related technologies of ductile iron pipes are constantly developing, improving the quality and performance of products.
In recent years, with the improvement of environmental protection awareness, the material and production process of ductile iron pipes have also been improved, making them more environmentally friendly and energy-saving.
