What is BS EN 545 - Ductile iron pipes about? BS EN 545 provides best-practice requirements and test methods for ductile iron pipes, pipe fittings, accessories, and their joints for the construction of pipelines outside buildings. This can be to transport different types of water with or without pressure, below or above ground. BS EN 545 applies to pipes, fittings, and accessories with socketed, flanged, or spigot ends and internal or external coatings. It also gives performance requirements for couplings, flange adaptors, and saddles that are manufactured to use with ductile iron pipes and fittings.
How does BS EN 545 - Ductile iron pipes work?
BS EN 545 on ductile iron pipes looks at the technical requirements, pressure class, and dimensional tolerances for ductile iron pipes and their fittings. It also gives an in-depth explanation of coatings and linings, as well as the marking of pipes, fittings, and accessories. BS EN 545 gives an accurate outline of best practice performance test methods – including ways to test the strength of the cement mortar lining and leak tightness of joints and pipe saddles.
