How Ductile Iron Pipe Is Made

From raw material to final product this time lapse video takes you into the factory and shows each step of the process. Certain things only happen once a day and others are too dangerous to get close to during a plant tour. This video takes you inside the casting process and allows you to see step by step what it takes to make a Ductile Iron Pipe.
This short film has been recognized by several time lapse film festivals.

What a great film with music. So proud to have great iron pipe still manufactured in USA 🇺🇸 and my hometown of Coshocton, Ohio, USA!

[@McWaneDuctilePipe]

Well said!

[@chaddamp2894]

RIP the old english Stanton iron works and claycross pipes ,fond memories of seeing their production works way back in the 1980's

[@McWaneDuctilePipe]

Seeing a foundry up close is a powerful experience. Thanks for the comment, stay tuned.

[@user-mz9co6ij3q]

Absolutely beautiful. I have to wonder what the relationship is between the truck driver and the producer of the video that the shot of him tossing that strap featured so prominently... Lol... Great video though.

[@McWaneDuctilePipe]

Happy you enjoyed it. Please check out some of our other videos.

[@efrenevangelista7633]

Hello, i have some few questions, i would be thankful if someone from the company will answer. Do you also have HOT PROCESS aside from centrifugal casting machine (CCM) process? to what diameter do you start using HOT PROCESS? do you have some video as well of it to see how its runs?

[@McWaneDuctilePipe]

I'm not sure I fully understand your question. All of our pipe goes through an annealing process. You can see our video about that stage at the link below. Thanks for watching. kzbin.info/www/bejne/raq1gWWqeLejgas

[@brandonspence2189]

What's the largest diameter you guys make? I just finished a job with a lot of 42" DI and 30" DI

[@McWaneDuctilePipe]

The largest DI Pipe we make at any of our three facilities is 36".

[@jarredri]

I just applied for the electrical job hopefully i get a chance to work for you guys in Coshocton

[@McWaneDuctilePipe]

great job. Congrats all the workers of the company and Ryan for such a great video. I work in Supply Chain for a Minnesota Minning and Manufacturing Company here in Costa Rica so I understand how every person involved helps to satisfy customer needs! 😎📽✊👊🏍💨🇨🇷

[@McWaneDuctilePipe]

Every step is important and every employee valuable when making a product like this.

[@FablehavenFan1]

I'm wondering how you've fared since COVID? So many supply chain issues have had so much stress...I'm just amazed at how you all continue!

[@McWaneDuctilePipe]

COVID was a difficult challenge for us all, but we are happy to report that we are busier than ever in 2023. Thanks for watching and stay healthy.

[@paun30]

Hard to beat DIP. Why add the tracer wire though at 5:10?

[@McWaneDuctilePipe]

You are correct, the reel of blue wire is tracer wire. McWane Ductile & the ductile iron industry (DIPRA etc) suggest that tracer wire is not necessary when installing Ductile iron pipe. However, some utilities continue to specify tracer wire regardless of the pipe material. Tracer wire, also known as locator wire, is used to locate lines years after installation. Most commonly used with PVC installations.

이 원심주조도 나 자신이 예전에 말하던 방식이구나. 용접이 필요 없는 장점이 있다.
