Application of Ductile Iron Flanged Pipes
Over-ground and specialized applications require restrained joints where Flanged pipes are used. Flanged Pipes have the following advantages:

Restrained joint - Joints are restrained and rigid, reducing the requirement of thrust blocks or other restraining devices.

Over-ground and Exposed Installations – Ideal for over-ground pipeline installations including portions of pipelines that are exposed (such as on pillars over a canal or other water bodies, roads, bridges and so on)

Ideal for Vertical pipelines - Vertical pipelines are best served by Flanged Pipes. Examples of these pipelines are those for Elevated / Overhead Service Reservoirs.

Disengagement Requirements or Temporary Installations - Applications where pipelines need to be disengaged for cleaning or transfer from one location to the other are suitable for Flanged Pipes. Examples are Treatment Plants (Water, Sewerage, Other fluids) or Temporary Pipelines.
