1.18 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
product should not be used unless it
is fully inspected and pressure tested
by the manufacturer.
Please remove label before
commissioning.
