flanges are either threaded or welded onto the pipe. Flanges are designed to a large number of specifications that differ because of dimensional variations in pipes sizes and pressure requirements, and because of independent standards development. A deformable gasket, usually elastomeric, placed between raised faces on the mating flanges provides the seal. Nominal Size (DN)įlanges are flat rings around the end of pipes which mate with an equivalent flange from another pipe, the two being held together by bolts usually passed through holes drilled through the flanges. Therefore, the inner diameters of lined pipe differ widely from the nominal diameter, and hydraulic calculations require some knowledge of the pipe standard.

Australia adopted at an early point the imperial British cast iron pipe standard BS 78, and when this was retired on British adoption of ISO 2531, rather than similarly harmonizing with Europe, Australia opted for a 'soft' conversion from imperial units to metric, published as AS/NSZ 2280, with the physical outer diameters remaining unchanged, allowing continuity of manufacture and backwards compatibility. DNĪustralian and New Zealand pipes are sized to an independent specification, AS/NZS 2280, that is not compatible with European pipes even though the same nomenclature is used. Coincidentally, the British harmonization with European pipe standards occurred at approximately the same time as its transition to ductile iron, so almost all cast iron pipe is imperial and all ductile pipe is metric.

Older British pipes, however, which used the incompatible imperial standard, BS 78, require adapter pieces when connecting to newly installed pipe. ISO 2531 maintains dimensional compatibility with older German cast iron pipes. European pipes are sized to approximately match the internal diameter of the pipe, following internal lining, to the nominal diameter. Įuropean pipe is standardized to ISO 2531 and its descendent specifications EN 545 (potable water) and EN 598 (sewage). Ductile iron pipe manufactured in the United States has been certified as a sustainable product by the Institute for Market Transformation to Sustainability. Studies of ductile iron pipe's environmental impact have differing findings regarding emissions and energy consumed. However, a lifespan in excess of 100 years has been estimated for ductile iron pipelines installed using 'evolved laying practices', including use of properly installed LPS (polyethylene encasement).

Life expectancy of unprotected ductile iron pipes depends on the corrosiveness of soil present and tends to be shorter where soil is highly corrosive. In highly corrosive environments loose polyethylene sleeving (LPS) to encase the pipe may also be used. Protective internal linings and external coatings are often applied to ductile iron pipes to inhibit corrosion: the standard internal lining is cement mortar and standard external coatings include bonded zinc, asphalt or water-based paint. Typically, the pipe is manufactured using centrifugal casting in metal or resin lined moulds. The ductile iron used to manufacture the pipe is characterized by the spheroidal or nodular nature of the graphite within the iron. This type of pipe is a direct development of earlier cast iron pipe, which it has superseded. Ductile iron pipe is a pipe made of ductile cast iron commonly used for potable water transmission and distribution.
