The key yardstick to clasify the grade between Ductile Iron to Grey Cast Iron is by comparing their
Mechanical Property, namely to measure their tensile strength & elongation values.

Referring to the latest BSEN 545:2010, the minimm iron wall thickness of pipes is given as a functin of the
nominal size, DN, and pressure class C, in table 16 and 17 of BSEN 545:2010
In general, all Ductile Iron Pipes & Fittings under KEY brand are fully in compliance with BSEN 545:2002,
BSEN 545:2006, and BSEN 545:2010 respectively.
Allowable Pressures
- Socket & Spigot Joint pipe pressures :
**Remarks** (Socket & Spigot Joint also named as Flexible Joint, Tyton Joint & Push-in Joint)
The maximum values of PFA, PMA and PEA are calculated as follows:
a) Allowable Operating Pressure (PFA) - Internal pressure, excluding surge, which the pipeline
can safely withstand in permanent service.
= 20 x e min (min. pipe wall thickness in mm) x 420 (min. tensile strength of DI)
(DE - e min) x 3 (safety factor)
b) Allowable Maximum Operating Pressure (PMA) - Maximum internal pressure including surge,
which the pipeline can safely withstand in service.
= 1.2 x PFA
b) Allowable Test Pressure (PEA) - Maximum hydrostatic pressure applied on site to a newly
installed pipeline, for a relatively short duration
= PMA + 5 bar

Jointing
- Flexible Joint (also named as Socket Joint, Tyton Joint, Push-In Joint or Push-On Joint)
The most popular, quickest, and easiest-to-assemble joint for Ductile Iron pipe-lines while mainly adopted
for underground water supply and gravity sewage applications. For accommodation of angular deflection,
this joint consists of a single rubber gasket placed in a groove inside the socket end of the pipe. After
lubricating the jointing areas in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, the spigot end of the
pipe is being pushed to insert while a pressure-tight and dependable seal is formed by means of the
gasket. Proper anchorages shall be applied whilst flexible joint is non-restrained.
- Flanged Joint
Flanged joint is generally utlitized for above ground exposed pipeworks including water mains, rising
mains, air, oil and/or other liquids where rigid, restrained joints are needed. It is widely used in industrial
piping systems such as water treatment plants, sewerage treatment plants and other interior pipe-works.
The flanges have a machined raised face and drilled holes. They can be attached by screw-on, cast-on or
factory welded.

C. Lubricant
1) Clean spigot and rubber rings
2) Make them smooth with lubricant, as shows in the following picture.
D. Trench width
When the pipes are laid in the trench, the width of trench should be 200mm - 300mm wider than the
outside diameter of the pipe.
E. Joint
1) As for pipes ≤ DN400, please see picture 1
2) As for pipes > DN400, please see picture 2
F. Checking
Having been successfully inserted to the spigot, the joint should then be checked to see if the gasket is
correctly seated, which can be done by inserting a metal ruler into the socket gap.

Repair
Area Preparation
Lining repair must be carried out sheltered from frost.
Rotate the pipe so that the area to be repaired is as close to the bottom as
possible.
Remove the damaged area and 1 or 2 cm of surrounding sound mortar with
hammer and cold chisel.
The edges of cleared zone must be vertical to the iron surface.
Clean with a wire brush to remove non-adherent material.
Moisten the repair area.
A few minutes before making the repair, brush-apply the water emulsion
mixture, wetting the original mortar over a width of about 20cm around the
edges of the repair zone.
Mortar application
Trowel the mortar on compacting it adequately to restore the thickness.
Smooth the repaired surface with a palette knife (or sleeker).
Check that there are no gaps between the fresh mortar and the original
material.
Apply a protective coat of water + emulsion not more than 30 minutes after
final smoothing to prevent the patch from drying too quickly and to give it
good strength (cover with a damp cloth until set).
48
ductile iron pipe and fittings
The mechanical strength of ductile iron pipes and fittings, coupled with the robustness of their coatings, make them
adequately suitable for site handling conditions.
These precautions are particularly important for epoxy sealed pipes, large diameter pipes, or those having special
coatings.
End lifting
- Use appropriately shaped hooks, coated with a polyamide
type protection. Please consult us.
Barrel lifting
- Use wide flat slings maintained sufficiently widely a part
to prevent accidental slippage.
- Prohibit wire ropes which may damage the coating.
A single sling may be used on site. In this case, lift the pipe
at its centre of gravity, with the sling gripping the pipe to
prevent slippage.
Bundle lifting
DN80 to 300 bundles are unloaded with flat textile slings.
Packing
49
ductile iron pipe and fittings
Storage
Storage of pipes and fittings on site must permit correct inventory control and facilitate any repair work.
The storage area must be level.
Avoid:
- Marshy ground
- Shitting soils.
Deliveries must be inspected on arrival to the storage area and there is
any damage (e.g. internal or external coating damage), it must be
repaired before going into stock.
Stack the pipes in homogeneous pipes (same diameter), in accordance
with a rational storage plan. The same applies for fittings and
accessories.
Use sufficiently strong, good quality hard woods (timbers, wedges).
It is always desirable to reduce the storage time as much as possible.
Precautions need to be taken if the pipes have special coating. Please
consult us.
Stacking
Bundle stacking
The bundles supplies by SUNS can be stacked in a pile on 80x80x2600mm timber, with 3 or 4 bundles per row, not
exceeding a stack height of 2.50m.
Check the condition of the bundles periodically: in particular, the condition and tautness of the straps, as well as the
general stack stability.
Bottom layer : the bottom layer is laid on two timbers. Arranged in parallel, one
being 1m from the socket end and the other 1m from the spigot end. The pipes
are also parallel with one another. The sockets touch and are not in contact with
the ground. The pipes at the two ends are secured at the sockets and spigots
with large wooden wedges nailed to the timbers. The intermediate pipes are
only secured at the spigot end using smaller wedges.
Upper layer : the upper layers consist of pipes laid alternately socket to spigot,
with all the sockets in one tier overhanging the spigot ends of the tier below, by
the length of the socket plus 10cm (to prevent spigot deformation). The barrels
of two consecutive tiers are in contact.
Square stacks
Bottom layer : laying and wedging after of the bottom layer is identical to the
first method, but the pipes are sockets to spigots; their barrels are in contact. In
addition, the sockets project beyond the spigots of adjacent pipes by the whole
socket length, plus 5cm. For DN>150 pipes stacking is on three timbers(instead
of 2).
Upper layer : each tier consists of parallel pipes laid socket to spigot, as in the
bottom layer. The pipes in one tier run at right angles to those in the tier below.
The pipe ends are consequently wedged naturally by the alternating sockets in
the tier below. This method keeps the packing material to a minimum, but
involves individual lifting of pipes because of the stack formation. It is strongly
recommended however that it should not be used for pipes with special coatings, in view of the type of
support(point contacts).
