1.17 Working safely with cast iron products on steam
Cast iron products are commonly found on steam and condensate systems. If installed
correctly using good steam engineering practices, it is perfectly safe. However, because of
its mechanical properties, it is less forgiving compared to other materials such as SG iron
or carbon steel. The following are the good engineering practices required to prevent
waterhammer and ensure safe working conditions on a steam system.
Safe Handling
Cast Iron is a brittle material. If the product is dropped
during installation and there is any risk of damage the
