Why Ductile Iron?

NIBCO is the largest United States manufacturer of pressure rated Ductile Iron Valves. NIBCOs Ductile Iron multi-turn
valves are ideal for a wide variety of services: hydrocarbons, chemical, marine, fire protection services, pulp and paper
applications where cast iron and/or cast steel valves could be installed.
Ductile Iron, also known as nodular iron, was developed about 50 years ago as a substitute for steel. Cast steel contains
carbon of less than .3% by weight, while cast and ductile irons have at least 3% total carbon. This low carbon content in
cast steel does not allow the carbon to form as free graphite resulting in a laminate type of structure. The natural form of
carbon in cast iron is the free graphite flake form. In Ductile Iron, this graphite flake is modified by a specialized treatment
process to form tiny spheres or nodules. These modified graphite nodules provide Ductile Iron with physical properties
greater than cast iron and comparable to steel. It is this nodular microstructure of carbon in Ductile Iron which produces
high ductility and shock resistance while the flake form of cast iron results in no malleability. Optimum ductility is obtained
with a ferritic matrix, therefore, all NIBCOs Ductile Iron pressure containing parts are treated with a ferritizing annealing
cycle. In Ductile Iron spheroidal nodules also eliminate the crack effect of flake graphite which is exhibited in cast iron. In
microscopic photos of Ductile Iron, cracks can be seen traveling to a graphite nodule and stopping. These graphite spheroids are know as crack arresters in the Ductile Iron industry because of their ability to stop cracks in their tracks.
In some circles, Ductile Iron is known as the metal that is the Best of both worlds meaning that Ductile Iron
combines the superior strength of cast steel with the excellent corrosion resistance of cast iron.
Ductile Iron vs. Cast (Gray) Iron

The strength of Ductile Iron when compared to cast iron is overwhelming. Ductile Iron tensile strength is 60k versus cast
iron at 31k. Ductile Iron has a yield strength of 40k, whereas cast iron exhibits no yield, only ultimate fracture. Ductile Iron
strength to cost ratio offers greater value for a marginal increase in cost over cast iron. (See page 5 for a complete comparison of mechanicals.) Ductile Iron offers excellent corrosion resistance that is equivalent to cast iron.
Ductile Iron vs. Cast Steel

The strengths of Ductile Iron and cast steel are comparable. Ductile Iron has a higher minimum yield strength at 40k versus cast steel at 36k. (See page 5 for a more complete comparison of mechanicals.) Ductile Iron has corrosion and oxidation resistance that surpasses cast steel in most general utility service applications, i.e. water, saltwater, steam. Because
of Ductile Irons spheroidal graphite microstructure, Ductile Iron is superior to steel in its ability to deaden vibration and
therefore reduce stresses. An important factor in selecting Ductile Iron over cast steel is cost. The lower expense of Ductile
Iron results from readily available materials, foundry operation efficiencies and reduced machining costs of Ductile Iron.

When ASTM B-584 trim is used, maximum temperature limit is 450F.
** Engineering Note: Ductile Iron flanges are rated at 250 psi in accordance with ANSI B16.42. However, NIBCOs rating is intended to show that the valve is capable of
sustained operation at 285 psi, in between Class 150 steel flanges.

Construction Features
Flanges
NIBCO Ductile Iron Valves come standard ANSI B16.42 Class 150 flanges and the same
end-to-end dimensions as Class 125 iron or Class 150 steel valves. Thus Ductile Iron
valves can easily replace cast iron or steel valves. NIBCO also offers PN10/16 flanges per
BS 4504 and compliant to BS 5150 face to face dimensions.
Trim
Bronze ASTM B584, 316 Stainless Steel
Test Pressures
All NIBCO Ductile Iron Valves are tested to MSS requirements in our ISO 9002 quality
certified manufacturing plant in Blytheville Arkansas.
Color
NIBCO Ductile Iron valves are painted green in compliance with API 604.
Features and Benefits

Strength
Ductile Iron is a very strong material when compared to cast iron and comparable to cast
steel. Ductile Iron has a higher yield strength than cast steel 40K vs. 30K. The strength of
Ductile Iron when compared to cast iron is overwhelming. Ductile Iron tensile strength is
60K vs Cast Iron at 31K. Ductile Iron has yield strength of 40K and cast iron has none.
Corrosion Resistance
Ductile Iron has a corrosion and oxidation resistance in most cases that surpasses cast
steel and is slightly better than cast iron. Oxide penetration can severely affect the strength
and performance of valves.
Low Transition Temps
Ferrous metals are subject to brittle fractures with severe temperature changes. The chemical composition of NIBCOs Ductile Iron provides transition temperatures to -20F. This
property is important if physical shock loading is present in cold weather applications.
Cost Effective
These unique characteristics make Ductile Iron a cost-effective option for 150 psi steam
service as well as hydrocarbon processing up to 650F/343C.
Applications
Steam Service
Ductile Iron gate, globe and check valves are excellent choices for 150 psi steam service.
Available with B-584 bronze trim and CF8M SS trim.
Hydrocarbon Service
Ductile Iron is an acceptable substitute for cast steel in a wide range of processing services both on the production and refining side up to 650F/343C.
General Service
Ductile Iron can substitute for standard Class 125 cast iron where there may be concerns
with potential stresses and a stronger material is desired, i.e. in situations of unusual pipe
movement due to the system or external forces, such as cold weather, earthquakes, etc.
Can substitute for Class 250 cast iron for intermediate pressure services using Class 150
flanges up to 285 psi wwp. (Should save on valve and flange costs.)
Ductile Iron is a good choice for general service, fire protection and Hi-rise applications.
Has a higher application temperature than Teflon seated flanged ball valves.
Marine Service
For shipboard application and tanker piping, many marine agencies recommend the use of
Ductile Iron Valves because of its resistance to shock, vibration and superior corrosionresistant properties. Approved by DOT and Certificate of Approval from Lloyds Register of
Shipping. ABS approval available, consult factory.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Ductility:
The ability of a material to become permanently deformed - stretched, drawn, or hammered without
failure while maintaining an appreciable load.
Tensile strength:
Measures in force per unit area (i.e. pounds per square inch-psi) the ultimate stress that can be withstood by a material in tension prior to failure.
Yield strength:
Measures in force per unit area the stress at which a material will undergo a permanent change in
shape (plastic deformation) in response to an applied force.
Elongation:
Measures by percentage the amount of plastic deformation a material will exhibit in response to a force
applied in tension.
Oxide penetration:
The depth of material deterioration or loss displayed along the surface of a metal that is exposed to
highly corrosive (oxidizing) environment.
