Water is the lifeblood of a city. Whether it’s the clear springs that nourish the people or the drainage of stormwater and floodwater, the pipeline network that carries them is like the city’s “blood vessels” and “veins.” Its safety, reliability, and durability are directly related to the healthy operation of the city and the well-being of its residents. Ductile iron pipes can be used in municipal drinking water distribution networks, urban stormwater and sewage drainage systems, industrial water and circulating water pipelines, process piping for pumping stations, water plants, and sewage treatment plants, as well as in tunnel projects and cross-sea and cross-river pipeline projects.
The American Water Works Association(AWWA) standards C110(Water Supply) and C153 (Drainage/Distribution) for ductile iron pipe are the answer, proven globally for a century.
AWWA C110 – The Gold Standard for Water Supply Systems
As the recognized “gold standard” in the water supply industry, C110 ductile iron pipe is the preferred choice for transporting life-giving water. Its core advantages include:
Excellent corrosion resistance: The internal cement mortar lining and external anti-corrosion coating effectively resist chemical and electrochemical corrosion in the soil, with a designed service life of over 100 years.
Extremely high pressure bearing capacity: Ductile iron, with strength comparable to steel, can easily withstand demanding conditions such as high-pressure water supply and water hammer, ensuring the pipeline network is unfazed by these pressures.
Absolute health and safety: The internal lining complies with the NSF/ANSI 61 standard for drinking water contact materials, ensuring the water delivered is clear, safe, and odor-free, protecting public health.
Excellent seismic resistance and adaptability: The advanced T-shaped socket joint provides a flexible connection that allows for a certain degree of deflection, effectively resisting foundation settlement and earthquake damage, and adapting to complex terrain.
AWWA C153 – The backbone of drainage systems
The C153 standard is an optimization of C110, specifically designed for large-diameter sewer and distribution pipes. It is an ideal choice for municipal drainage, stormwater management systems, and large-scale water transmission projects. Large Diameter Advantages: Provides larger diameter pipe options to meet the growing drainage and water supply needs of modern cities.
Quick Installation Design: Many C153 pipe fittings utilize mechanical joints such as Fastite™ and LV™, making installation quick and easy. No on-site welding or pouring is required, significantly reducing construction time, costs, and impact on public life.
Excellent Sealing Performance: The unique joint design provides a double seal, ensuring a 100% leak-proof system, preventing groundwater infiltration and increased treatment loads, as well as wastewater seepage and environmental pollution.
Extraordinary Durability: Utilizing the inherent high strength and durability of ductile iron, it can withstand the heavy loads of deep burial and surface traffic, ensuring a permanent and reliable installation.
Why Choose DINSEN AWWA C153/C110 Ductile Iron Pipe?
Lowest Lifecycle Cost: While the initial investment may be slightly higher, its exceptionally long service life, extremely low leakage rate, and low maintenance requirements make its overall cost significantly lower than other pipe materials. A green and environmentally friendly choice: Ductile iron pipe is 100% recyclable, making it a sustainable green building material. Its smooth interior also reduces water transportation energy consumption, aligning with modern environmental protection concepts.
Investing in future reliability: Choosing C153/C110 is more than just purchasing a product; it’s buying a long-term “insurance policy” for your city’s infrastructure. This means less risk of pipe bursts, lower operating and maintenance costs, and more reliable public services.
Choosing DINSEN AWWA C153/C110 ductile iron pipe is more than just a purchase; it’s an investment in the city’s future well-being. Let Dinsen build a leak-free future with solid pipes.
