Ductile iron pipe: A powerful "blood vessel" for the city's underground

Every time you turn on the faucet, have you ever wondered how the tap water travels through the entire city to your home? This is inseparable from a key material - ductile iron pipe. This pipe, which is widely used in municipal engineering, protects the "lifeline" of urban water supply with its excellent performance.

Why is ductile iron pipe the first choice for engineering?

The key to the popularity of ductile iron pipes lies in their unique material properties. By adding spheroidizers to cast iron, the graphite inside it presents a spherical structure, thus combining the corrosion resistance of cast iron with the high strength of steel. This "strong combination" feature allows it to easily cope with various challenges brought by the complex underground environment.

In actual applications, ductile iron pipes have shown three major advantages: first, its service life can reach 50-100 years, far exceeding ordinary steel pipes; second, its excellent seismic resistance enables it to adapt to foundation settlement; finally, the inner wall is lined with cement mortar, which not only ensures water quality safety but also reduces water transmission resistance.

From urban water supply to drainage systems, from gas transmission to industrial pipelines, ductile iron pipes silently support the basic operation of modern cities with their reliable quality. The next time you see road construction, you might as well pay attention to the "urban blood vessels" being laid, which may be ductile iron pipes with excellent performance.
