Introduction to DI Pipe Jointing Systems: Procedure
Rubber Gasket The absence of sunlight and oxygen, presence of moisture/water, relatively lower and uniform surrounding temperature in buried conditions help in preservation of rubber gaskets. Thus this type of joint is expected to last for more than 100 years. – Good qualily Synthetic ru...Read more -

Properties, Advantages and Applications of Ductile Iron
Ductile iron, also known as spheroidal or nodular iron, is a group of iron alloys with a unique microstructure that gives them high strength, flexibility, durability, and elasticity. It contains over 3 percent carbon and can be bent, twisted, or deformed without breaking, thanks to its graphite f...Read more -
Pipe Fittings: An Overview
Pipe fittings are essential components in both residential and industrial piping systems. These small but crucial parts can be made from various materials such as steel, cast iron, brass alloys, or metal-plastic combinations. While they might differ in diameter from the main pipe, it’s cruc...Read more -

Three Methods of Casting Cast Iron Pipes
Cast iron pipes have been produced through various casting methods over time. Let’s explore the three main techniques: Horizontally Cast: The earliest cast iron pipes were horizontally cast, with the core of the mold supported by small iron rods that became part of the pipe. However, this ...Read more -
Understanding the Distinctions Between Gray Cast Iron Pipes and Ductile Iron Pipes
Gray cast iron pipes, crafted through high-speed centrifuge casting, are known for their flexibility and adaptability. Utilizing a rubber sealing ring and bolt fastening, they excel in accommodating significant axial displacement and lateral flexural deformation, making them ideal for use in seis...Read more
