A key advantage of using polyurethane-lined steel pipe for sanitary sewer applications? The gasketed joint, which provides a bottle-tight seal without a reduction in lining thickness at the joint connection. The uniform lining thickness across the system ensures a long service life, while the leak-free joint prevents the loss of gray water over the life of the pipeline. Ductile iron pipe (DIP), on the other hand, requires a reduction in lining thickness across the joint, which may lead to durability issues. This is due to the casting process, where DIP is formed in a mold with fixed joint dimensions. There is limited tolerance available, and when a 40 mm lining is used, the gasketed joint cannot seal properly without compromising the lining thickness. In the case of engineered steel pipe, we simply make the pipe a little larger to allow for uniform lining thickness. Plus, our lining is factory-applied, and no field coating is required.
