COMPARISON OF THE SOIL CORROSION RESISTANCE OF DUCTILE IRON PIPE AND GRAY CAST IRON PIPE

DUCTILE IRON PIPE, ONE OF THE MAJOR MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION IN UNDERGROUND PIPELINES, AND GRAY CAST IRON PIPE ARE COMPARED IN A DISCUSSION OF THEIR SOIL CORROSION RESISTANCE, CHARACTERISTICS AND PERFORMANCE. RESULTS OF VARIOUS SOIL CORROSION PROGRAMS ARE ALSO OUTLINED. FACTORS AFFECTING THE SERVICE PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF DUCTILE IRON, CAST IRON AND STEEL PIPING ARE DISCUSSED AS WELL AS PROTECTIVE MEASURES FOR DUCTILE PIPING IN CORROSIVE SOILS. /AUTHOR/
