Comparing Piping Materials for Water Service

02/16/2009 2:58 PM

Dear all,

Currently I am persuing Masters in Engineering. I have a topic, like 'Comparative study of different pipe materials for water service' in my thesis. So I am looking for detailed technical specification for the following pipe materials:

1. HDPE

2. PVC

3. Ductile Iron

4. Cast Iron

5. GRE / GRP

6. Pre-stressed Concrete

it will be very much helpful, if someone gives any idea that where can I found those data.

Checking at global spec would be a good start.

You will find a link in the upper right corner of the CR-4 page.

Why no Polypro or PVDF?

Look, candidacy for a masters degree implies certain basic fundamentals skills- research, knowing what agency codes are applicable to your field etc. If you are not familiar with JIS, ASTM, DIN, ASME, and their equivalents in your country,then please get thee out of school before someone gets hurt. By the way, why hasn't your professor helped you find this? Or is it an assignment and rather than do work, you are asking us to collaborate?

This kind of feed me request devalues my earned master's degree.

www.astm.org is a great place to start, Why not figure out what your country's national waterworks association is and what it publishes?

The best info available can be found at the NRC's institute for research in construction. http://irc.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/ui/bu/index_e.html
