Ductile iron pipe is used for many applications, primarily for potable water lines and sanitary sewage pumping stations, but also for drainage systems. The qualities of ductile iron make it superior to other available products. Along with its predecessor, gray cast iron, it has a very long history of use, particularly compared to many other available products.
This
2-hour interactive on-line course discusses the characteristics of ductile iron pipe, the advantages of this type of pipe and the design criteria for proper selection of pressure class. It also briefly discusses joint types available and their applications and the old system of classification for ductile iron (such as Class 52). The material is taken from the Ductile Iron Pipe Research Association.
There will be a test at the end of this course. You must have Flash Player Version 7 or higher to view some parts of this course. We also recommend you view this course in Internet Explorer.
At the conclusion of the course, you will understand:
- The numerous advantages of using ductile iron pipe
- The difference between pressure class pipe (such as Class 350) and Special Thickness Class pipe (such as Class 52)
- The numerous safety factors involved in the design of ductile iron pipe
- The different joint types and their applications
- The factors that determine selection of appropriate pressure class
