Ductile iron manhole covers are cast iron covers that are used to cover manholes in roads, pavements, and other surfaces. They are made of ductile iron, which is a type of cast iron that is more flexible and resilient than traditional cast iron, making it more resistant to breakage and damage. Ductile iron manhole covers are durable, long-lasting, and can support heavy loads, making them suitable for use in high-traffic areas.
As a professional Ductile iron Manhole Cover Manufacturers, we manufacture ductile iron manhole covers in a variety of sizes, shapes, and designs. Our product range includes round, square manhole covers, and manhole covers can be customized. Range of duty classes available: B125, C250, D400, E600 BS EN 125.
Ductile Iron manhole covers advantages:
Ductile iron is used for manhole covers and frames due to several benefits it provides over traditional cast iron:
Strength and Durability: Ductile iron manhole cover has a high tensile strength and high resistance to deformation under heavy loads, making it ideal for use in high-traffic areas.
Resistance to Corrosion: Ductile iron manhole cover has a higher resistance to corrosion compared to other materials manhole cover, making it suitable for use in harsh environments and exposure to harsh weather conditions.
Lighter weight: Ductile iron manhole cover is lighter in weight compared to other manhole cover, up to 50% lighter than gray iron castings. Making it easier to handle and install.
Improved Casting Quality: Ductile iron has a more consistent and uniform microstructure compared to other materials, resulting in a better casting quality and improved performance.
Cost-effectiveness: Ductile iron is often more cost-effective compared to other materials, making it an attractive option for construction and infrastructure projects.
Recyclability: Ductile iron manhole cover uses a recyclable material, making it an environmentally friendly option for manhole covers.
