What Are the Advantages of Ductile iron ​AC pipe joint？

In addition to the benefits of long life, corrosion resistance, high structural strength, and tight joints, ductile iron pipe manufactured by McWane Ductile is also readily machinable, an important requirement in any pipe that must be drilled, tapped, or cut.

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from Solid.

MPI has locations across the United States to have the pipe at the jobsite when you need it.  Our comprehensive domestic and import ductile iron pipe, fabricated flange, & wall pipe offerings are made with a variety of joint combinations to meet your project needs.   

Whether there is a requirement for upgrading sewer lines or replacing plumbing, the use of ductile iron pipe and fittings can offer several benefits. The use of ductile iron pipes and fittings are usually for the transmission of potable water.

However, they can also be the ideal material of choice for sewage and plumbing systems. Ductile iron material is basically an alloy of carbon and iron. Keep reading till the end to find out many advantages that this material pipe fittings offer.

Improved Ductility

Ductile iron pipe fittings are effectively able to handle the consistent alterations in pressure, temperature and environment. This is due to its high level of ductility.

Ductility is a metal’s property to be extruded, drawn and deformed without causing any damage. The high level of ductility is an indicator of the material’s capability of being malleable and formable conveniently.

Because of its enhanced ductility, ductile iron pipe fittings can be manufactured rapidly and each pipe/fittings can be produced without any dents, fractures or related defects. This also gives the products the capacity to withstand additional pressure and stress without suffering any cracks or faults.

Unparalleled Resistance & Strength

Ductile iron pipe fittings may have similar chemical properties as cast iron but this material pipes and fittings have greater strength and resistance than the other material.

This is due to the fact that the ductile iron material involves significant metallurgical processes, casting requirements and enhanced control over quality in its manufacturing.

Long-lasting Performance

One of the benefits that makes ductile iron pipe fittings stand out from other materials is that they can offer high-quality performance for well over 100 years. In fact, there are ductile iron pipes available that are still in service even after 150 years.

The reason this material is able to provide such long-lasting performance is because they avoid common metal weaknesses and degradation over a period. Most of the materials encounter structural issues such as “stress regression” and “creep”. These impacts can cause the materials to lose strength and degrade over time.

Easy to Install

Ductile Iron pipe fittings are much lighter that makes them easier to be laid out in sewer lines than most other pipes. Moreover, they need no additional encasements or treatments in order to be installed directly over soils.

However, experts can choose to utilize polyethylene encasements to upgrade the pipe’s capacity for corrosion resistance against soil and moisture.

Environmentally-friendly

Fabrication of ductile iron is done using recycled iron scrap and steel metals. These recycled materials make up to 95% of ductile iron material’s composition. The high level of recycled composition in ductile iron also makes them 100% recyclable material.
