Ductile iron pipe

Drinking Water and Sanitation

The characteristics of ductile cast iron are exceptional and essential compared to other materials, such as gray cast iron, steel, or plastic for water transport applications.

Unlike pipes made from steel plates, ductile iron pipes do not have any weld joints, resulting in a much stronger pipe.

Joining systems types for ductile iron cast pipe

Tuberías de fundición de hierro dúctil tipo Tyton

TYTON® ductile iron pipe

Known as a flexible automatic gasket, it was designed to be used in a wide range of drinking water and wastewater or sewage projects. TYTON® joint pipe, or equivalent, has become an international standard, as well as the most representative joining system on the market.

Ductile iron pipes features and advantages

Features
Advantages

Features

Resistance and elasticity
Ductile iron is a carbon iron alloy containing free graphite in the form of a sphere. This molecular structure makes the ductile iron absorb the force and react in a plastic and elastic way before reaching the breaking point. That is, the impact energy is converted to deformation.
Recyclable
Ductile iron is a recyclable material in itself. It maintains its properties and quality unchanged and follows an environmentally friendly manufacturing process, as certified by ISO 14001 and ISO 9001.

Advantages

Joints can be made by any operator, it is not necessary to use welding equipment.
It supports very high pressures.
Simple assembly, even in complex areas.
Everything is coated in fabrication, no on-site coating operations are required.
Does not require maintenance.
