DUCTILE IRON FITTINGS AND ITS ADVANTAGES

As per current International standards short bodied Ductile Iron Fittings will wall thickness higher than pipes as per International standards are available.

Easier Handling : The lower weight facilitates handling at all stages.

Superior Strength :The D.I. fittings have thickness of K12, which is more than the wall thickness of K9 pipes with which these fittings are used. A sound D.I. fitting will never burst and offers a high factor of safety.

Easier Jointing : With flexible Push-on-Joints or Mechanical Joints, installation is simpler and quicker. Flexible Joints allow variable degree of angular deflection.

Impact Resistance : Ductile Iron being impact resistant, D.I. fittings are unlikely to get damaged during transportation, installation and service.

Close Dimensional Tolerance : The ‘Lost Foam’ process casting technique ensures proper dimension and proper thickness.

Longer Life : Corrosion resistance of ductile iron is similar to that of cast iron. Inside cement mortar lining and outside zinc coating enhances the life further.

Total Cost Economy : Due to lower weights and Jointing by rubber gaskets the total cost of installation of D.I. fittings is economical.
