E-Book – Ductile iron pipe systems
Foreword
The current edition of the Cast Iron
Pipes Manual has been updated and
is ready for you to download as an
E-Book in pdf format. By going to the
European Association for Ductile Iron
Pipe Systems · EADIPS®/Fachgemein-
schaft Guss-Rohrsysteme (FGR®) e. V.
website at www.eadips.org you can
download the entire book or just indi-
vidual chapters of it. This offers the
numerous advantages of a modern
E-Book which you can use interactively
for your work. The search engine on
the Adobe Reader provides the reader
with various ways of searching the
pdf for terms and passages of text and
having the search results displayed
in order with bookmarks.
The date given on the title page of
the E-Book is that of the latest edition
of the entire book (month and year).
The dates given on the left-hand side of
the footer on each of the chapter
pages (also as month and year) indi-
cate the publication date of the particu-
lar chapter. The publication date of a

chapter is relevant for the references to
standards and regulations quoted as at
this date.
Each chapter is a unit on its own,
comparable to a folder on a computer.
This means that each chapter can be
amended, updated or added to by the
publisher independently of the other
chapters. It is equally easy for new
chapters to be added.
Illustrations such as graphics, photos
and tables usually appear close to the
relevant content in the text. Videos
relating to the subject being discussed
are indicated by the symbol in
the text. As long as you have a
broadband connection, you can view
them by clicking on this symbol in
the pdf. European Association for Ductile Iron

As at the time of going to press, you Fachgemeinschaft Guss-Rohrsysteme
can order the latest version of the (FGR®) e. V.
“Ductile iron pipe systems” manual as
a perfect-bound booklet by going to
