Pipeline System

Electrosteel (India) ductile iron pipes are the standard pipeline material for urban water supply and sewerage networks, widely adopted across Asia and Africa for their mechanical superiority over grey iron and plastic pipes of the same diameter.

Key specifications:

• Standards: ISO 2531, EN 545 (potable water), EN 598 (sewerage)
• Sizes: DN80–DN2,600
• Working pressure: PN10–PN64 depending on wall class (K-class)
• Tensile strength: ≥420 MPa; Yield strength: ≥300 MPa; Elongation: ≥10%
• Internal lining: Cement mortar for potable water (ISO 4179)
• External coating: Metallic zinc + bitumen, or polyurethane for aggressive soils

Key features:

• Impact resistance far exceeding grey iron — withstands dynamic loads and water hammer
• Push-in (Tyton) and mechanical joint systems for fast tool-free installation
• Design life >100 years with correct installation and corrosion protection
• Applications: Water transmission mains, urban distribution networks, sewer systems
