  • What Are Six Key Principles to Making Ductile Iron Pipe?

    What Are Six Key Principles to Making Ductile Iron Pipe?

    By Ken Rickvalsky, ENV SP, NACE CT   08/12/2022  In Our Company product

    There are no shortcuts to making good Ductile iron pipe (DI pipe). Built upon fundamentals and protocols developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the American National Standards Institute came the American Water Works Association standards (AWWA), which govern and judge the consensus fitness of products as produced. These standards strictly govern the dimensions and properties of DI pipe. What separates DI pipe manufacturers is their adherence to these standards and consistent dedication to quality assurance.
