Our Ductile Iron Pipes and fittings are produced with different kinds of joints from DN80-2000mm according to ISO2531 BS EN545 & 598 under the following production process:
- Smelting and molten iron spheroidization;
- Centrifugal casting and extraction from molds;
- Heat treatment;
- Finishing: The process includes testing and inspection in order to ensure pipe quality. All pipes are then externally coated with metallic zinc and sprayed with bitumen according to the ISO8179 standard;
- Cement lining: All pipes are internally centrifugal lined by cement mortar lining according to the ISO4179 standard;
- Bitumen coating: To prevent corrosion and give the pipe a good appearance, every ductile iron pipe is coated with bituminous paint, meanwhile undergoing a quality inspection of the external coating.

Mechanical Joint:
Mechanical joint has same flexibility of angular deflection with push-on type pipe. For dismantling, it is even easier than push-on joint. But for installation it is not as convenient as push-on joint.
Mechanical joint K-type is used mostly for pipes with big diameter. The Company develops mechanical joint N-type and S-type especially for gas-carrying pipeline. N-type is usually for low-pressure pipeline. S-type can be used for medium pressure pipeline.
