Ductile iron pipes are very important in modern society. This is because they are used to transport potable water from one place to another. The importance of drinking water must never be underestimated as it is an important part of our day to day lives.However, the current environmental damage that has resulted due to global warming has caused the melting of glaciers that are the main source of drinking water. This makes it essential for us to protect and conserve potable water and ensure its optimal utilization. This is where Rashmi Group has played a pivotal role.
Importance of Ductile Iron Pipes:
Modern metallurgical methods are extremely advanced and they have led to the development of ductile iron pipes. Their main importance is their property of conveying water under pressure and various other piping uses. The unique combination of the physical strength of the mild steel with the long life of grey cast iron makes them highly superior and highly demanded.
The advantage of using ductile iron is the fact that it offers the highest level of safety so that service failures due to ground movement and beam stresses can be totally prevented. They are virtually unbreakable when used in ordinary service and have the useful characteristics of providing increased resistance to breakage that can occur due to rough handling in shipping and installation.
Ductile iron pipes have a high level of corrosion resistance that has been confirmed in a variety of scientific tests that has established the fact that they are equal to grey cast iron. This makes them very much advantageous and in demand in all sectors of the industry.
Rashmi Group’s Contribution:
Rashmi Group has realized that there is a lot of importance in using ductile iron pipes and has invested heavily in their research and development. This shows their concern not only for society and community, but for the environment as well. Their ductile iron pipe production has increased from approximately 500 crores per annum this year with a target of 900 crores next year.
They have increased capacities from 1 lac 44k metric tons to 2 lacs 20 k metric tons. They are going to complete 4 years of production and now the product has become well established in our domestic Indian market. They have also started supplying products to foreign countries like Algeria, Seychelles, Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka.
Their clients consist of a vast and diverse range of institutions like municipal corporations, development authorities, public health engineering department, water supply and sewerage board and irrigation and flood control department.
This proves their immense contribution to this field that has enabled Rashmi Group to be a forerunner in the field of ductile iron pipes production.
