In this article, we will cover all of the above piping types in details.
So, Let’s Start.
1. Cast Iron Pipe:
Cast Iron pipe is widely used for city water-distribution systems because of its high resistance to corrosion and consequent long life.
Cast iron pipe is made from pig iron. Such pipes are normally made from 5 cm to 120 cm in diameter.
Under normal conditions, a cast iron pipe can be expected to last 100 years.
The usual length of a pipe section is 12 ft, but lengths up to 20 ft can be obtained.
Cast iron pipe is made in several thickness classes for various pressures up to a maximum of 350 psi.
Cast-iron pipes are usually dipped in a bituminous compound for protection against corrosion and to improve their hydraulic qualities; larger sizes may be provided with a lining of cement mortar.
