Pipes ductile

Dry carbon dioxide liquid and gas is compatible with most metallic piping materials. The primary hazards are elevated pressure and the loss of piping ductility at low temperature. Low-pressure liquid carbon dioxide is typically stored at temperatures ranging from 0°F to -20°F (-17.8°C to -28.9 C), and rapid depressurization will cause the liquid to autorefriger-ate. Piping temperatures can decrease to as cold as -109.3°F (-78.5°C) when dry ice is formed.

Lead is a bluish-white metal of bright luster, is very soft, highly malleable, ductile, and a poor conductor of electricity. It is very resistant to corrosion lead pipes bearing the insignia of Roman emperors, used as drains from the baths, are still in service. It is used in containers for corrosive liquids (such as sulfuric acid) and may be toughened by the addition of a small percentage of antimony or other metals. 

Other Types of Piping Joints Packed-gland joints (Fig. 10-135) require no special end preparation of pipe but do reqmre careful control of the diameter of the pipe. Thus the suppher of the pipe shoiild be notified when packed-gland joints are to be used. Cast- and ductile-iron pipe, fittings, and valves are available with the bell cast on one or... 

Expanded joints (Fig. 10-138) are confined to the smaller pipe sizes of ductile metals. A smooth finish is required on the outside of the pipe and on the faces of the ridges inside the bore. Pipe and bore must have the same coefficient of thermal expansion. Furthermore, it is essential that the pipe metal have a lower yield point than the metal...

Crete piping systems can be lined with special salt-glazed vitrified-clay liner plates, joined with a die-cast aspnalt joint. Concrete pressure pipe is competitive with cement-lined ductile iron for underground plant water systems. 

Y = coefficient naving value in Table 10-50 for ductile ferrous materials, 0.4 for ductile nonferrous materials, and zero for brittle materials such as cast iron t,n = minimum required thickness, in, to which manufacturing tolerance must be added when specifying pipe thickness on purchase orders. [Most ASTM specifications to which mill pipe is normally obtained permit minimum wall to be 12V percent less than nominal. ASTM A155 for fusion-welded pipe permits minimum wall 0.25 mm (0.01 in) less than nominal plate thickness.] Pipe with t equal to or greater than D/6 or P/SE greater than 0.385 reqmres special consideration.

Failure of cooling water piping in sequence 17 was dominated by soil consolidation lailure of underground piping. The pipe is subject to non-ductile cracking during extremely cold w eather. 

Most refrigeration plants use freon as the refrigerant anti limit the lowest temperature to -20°F. This is because the ANSI piping codes require special metallurgy considerations below -20 F to assure ductility. 

This may be used for buried pipework, in ducts and above ground at pressures up to 2 bar. Not to be used for plant pipework. Ductile iron pipe and fittings shall be to BS 4772, Specifications for ductile iron pipes and fittings. 

It should be noted that it is extremely difficult to predict service lives of buried pipelines from the results of controlled trials with small specimens, whether in the laboratory or in the field. For example a study on the comparative corrosion resistances of ductile and grey iron pipes carried out jointly by European pipemakers in 1964-1973 indicated a mean pitting rate of 0 -35 mm/y for uncoated ductile iron pipe exposed in a typical heavy Essex clay of 500-900 ohm cm resistivity for 9 years. This is clearly at odds with the rate of 1 mm/y normally found on a corroded service pipe from such a soil. The discrepancy appears to be due to the use of specimens that were only a third of a pipe length each and were buried separately. It may reflect the contribution of the total surface area of the pipe as a cathode to the corrosion current at the anodic area at the pitting site. 

Polyethylene loose sleeving AWWA/ANSI C105 BS 6076 By hand in the field 0-2-0-25 Very economical and lightweight. Most commonly utilised over zinc sprayed ductile iron pipes. Will not allow application of effective cathodic protection. May not arrest all corrosion. 

The specification of these later coatings is covered by the German DIN 30670 standard for steel tubes and DIN 30674 for ductile iron pipes. These standards note that some 1 mm thickness of polyethylene is required for corrosion protection alone, but to improve the mechanical load-bearing capacity of the coating, total thicknesses of 1.8-3.0 mm, depending on pipe diameter, are to be specified. 

A typical application of these coatings is the use on carrier pipes installed by thrust boring techniques at major road, rail and river crossings. Sprayed polyurethane coatings of 900 thickness, are also commercially available on ductile iron pipes. 

Polypropylene (PP) is a crystalline polymer suitable for low-stress applications up to 225°F (105°C). For piping applications this polymer is not recommended above 212°F (100°C). Polypropylene is shielded, pigmented, or stabilized to protect it from uv light. Polypropylene is often a combination of polyethylene and polypropylene which enhances the ductility of the polymer. 

Lead was one of the traditional materials of construction for chemical plant but has now, due to its price, been largely replaced by other materials, particularly plastics. It is a soft, ductile material, and is mainly used in the form of sheets (as linings) or pipe. It has a good resistance to acids, particularly sulphuric. 

Freshly cast lead has a bright, silvery appearance. On exposure to the atmosphere, however, lead in the surface layer combines with atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide to form a dark, stable gray coating of mixed lead oxide and basic lead carbonate. This layer usually protects the metal from further oxidation and corrosion (see Fig. 38). Protected by a weathered surface layer, solid lead is stable to further corrosion. Lead is also very ductile and soft, being the softest metal known in antiquity. It is mainly because of these properties that lead was widely used for building, to make pipes and roofs, and in naval construction, for example. Solid lead flows, albeit very...
