Advantages of CI Pipes
• Ease in jointing the pipes
• Can withstand high Internal pressure
• Have a very long design life. (100 years)
• They are less prone to corrosion.
Dis-advantages of CI Pipes
• They are heavy and difficult to transport
• Length of pipe available as less (2.5 to 5.5m) so more joints are required for laying the pipes so chances of leakage also Increases.
• They are brittle so they break or crack easily.
Wrought Iron Pipes
• Wrought Iron Pipes are manufactured by rolling the flat plates of the metal to the proper diameter and welding the edges. If compared with cast Iron, these are more lighter, can be easily cut, threaded and worked, give neat appearance if used in the interior works. But it is more costly and less durable than cast iron pipes. These pipes should be used only inside the buildings, where they can be protected from corrosion. Wrought Iron pipes are joined together by couplings or screwed and socketed joints. To Increase the life of these pipes sometimes these are galvanized with zinc.
