Metal Water Stopper Barrier
A DI (Ductile Iron) pipe rubber gasket is an essential component used in the jointing systems of ductile iron pipes. These gaskets ensure a secure and leak-proof connection between pipe sections. Here’s an overview of their uses, types, materials, and benefits:
### Uses and Applications
1. **Water Supply Systems**: - Used extensively in potable water distribution networks to ensure a reliable and leak-free connection.
2. **Sewage and Wastewater Systems**: - Essential for maintaining integrity and preventing leaks in sewage and wastewater pipelines.
3. **Industrial Piping**: - Employed in various industrial applications where ductile iron pipes are used to transport chemicals, gases, or other fluids.
4. **Fire Protection Systems**: - Integral in fire protection pipelines where maintaining pressure and preventing leaks is critical.
### Types of DI Pipe Rubber Gaskets
1. **Push-On Gaskets**: - Designed for push-on joint systems where the gasket is pre-installed in the pipe bell, allowing for easy and quick assembly.
2. **Mechanical Joint Gaskets**: - Used in mechanical joint systems, requiring the gasket to be positioned in the pipe bell, followed by tightening bolts to secure the joint.
