Ductile Iron Pumping Main - Joint Type
Ductile Iron Pumping Main - Joint Type
(OP)
Is it commonly acceptable to use ductile iron pipes with push-on spigot/ socket type joints for pumping main where the design internal pressure is in the region of 10 to 15 bars?
My apologies if the question had been raised previously. I couldn't find any direct answer in this forum.

I think they have design conditions for that.

I'm actually quite surprised at the pressure rating of these units and pipes (>= 16 barg), but of course the key issue is making sure that they don't push out at bends or fittings, hence lots of concrete blocks...
My motto: Learn something new every day
Also: There's usually a good reason why everyone does it that way

as previous post stated, reinforcements are needed on critical points - bends, tees. manufacturers of pipes give detailed requirements for concrete blocks.
