  2. Cement-mortar lined ductile iron pipe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement-mortar_lined...

    Cement-mortar lined ductile iron pipe is a ductile iron pipe with cement lining on the inside surface, and is commonly used for water distribution. Cement-mortar lined ductile iron pipe is governed by standards set forth by DIPRA ( Ductile Iron Pipe Research Association ), and was first used in 1922 in Charleston, South Carolina .

  3. Ductile iron pipe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ductile_iron_pipe

    Ductile iron pipe in the developed world is normally manufactured exclusively from recycled material including scrap steel and recycled iron. [28] [29] The pipe can be recycled after use. [30] In terms of environmental impact, several studies have compared ductile iron pipe's impact on the environment with that of other pipe materials. [31]

  4. Cast iron pipe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cast_iron_pipe

    It was historically used as a pressure pipe for transmission of water, gas and sewage, and as a water drainage pipe during the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. In many modern applications, cast iron pipe has been replaced by ductile iron pipe, but this newer product is still often loosely referred to by the older historical name.

  5. HDPE pipe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDPE_pipe

    HDPE pipe is a type of flexible plastic pipe used to transfer fluids and gases.It is often employed for replacing aging concrete or steel main pipelines.Constructed from the thermoplastic HDPE (high-density polyethylene), it has low permeability and robust molecular bonding, making it suitable for high-pressure pipelines.

  6. Plumbing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumbing

    Old water pipe, remnant of the Machine de Marly near Versailles, France. Lead was the favoured material for water pipes for many centuries because its malleability made it practical to work into the desired shape. Such use was so common that the word "plumbing" derives from plumbum, the Latin word for lead.

  7. Cross-linked polyethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-linked_polyethylene

    A cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe. Cross-linked polyethylene, commonly abbreviated PEX, XPE or XLPE, is a form of polyethylene with cross-links.It is used predominantly in building services pipework systems, hydronic radiant heating and cooling systems, domestic water piping, insulation for high tension (high voltage) electrical cables, and baby play mats.

  8. Water supply network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_network

    A water supply network or water supply system is a system of engineered hydrologic and hydraulic components that provide water supply. A water supply system typically includes the following: A drainage basin (see water purification – sources of drinking water)

  9. Water-based pipe coating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-based_pipe_coating

    A water-based pipe coating is an environmentally friendly coating that is applied to the inner and outer surfaces of ductile iron pipe. The coating serves to protect the water supply lines from corrosion whether from the outside or the inside. It also serves to protect the drinking water from contamination.
