Outer Coating

Intrinsic corrosion resistance of Ductile Iron in various corrosive soils is as least as good as and even
somewhat better than that of Cast Iron, as there is not much variation chemically between the two
materials. When subjected to corrosion, the nodular graphite of ductile iron pipes forms corrosion
by products that adhere firmly to the unattached metal, which provides a barrier against further
corrosion. In addition, uniform spreading of spheroidal graphite of ductile iron results in less
susceptible to deep localized pitting than that of grey iron pipe, which is important in evaluating its
relative resistance to failure by perforation. Due to rubber gasket jointing, ductile pipes are
electrically discontinuous. As a result, long line corrosion current, which is dependent on exposure of
a single electrical unit to varying soil conditions, can not develop. Additionally, any accumulation of
stray current is limited to short electrical units and usually is of little significance in developing
corrosion.

Additional external protection to ductile iron pipe provides long service performance, especially for
smaller diameter pipes where wall thickness is comparatively less. Following external protection is
normally being provided:-
