Ductile iron pipe are cast from molten iron in molds, spinning at high speed in a feat of precision engineering that is awesome to see up close. This is no cookie-cutter operation. Each pipe, while meeting every spec and passing every inspection, is unique. So, occasionally, when cutting a pipe to fit a custom length, you may encounter a stick that needs to be rounded to slide cleanly into the joint. One of the easiest ways to get the job done is with the McWane Ductile external field rounding kit. In this video our expert product engineer Jerry Regula demonstrates how to identify when you have a pipe with slight ovality and how to use the kit to bring it back to round.

About us
For generations, McWane Ductile has been an industry leader in water distribution and infrastructure that provide plumbing and clean water works systems. The history of McWane Ductile traces back to 1871, when Charles Phillip (C.P.) McWane entered the foundry business in Lynchburg, Virginia, with his sons, Henry and James Ransom (J.R.). McWane Inc. wasn’t formed until 1977. As the country grew, so did the need to supply flourishing cities with clean water and to remove waste safely. In 1921, J.R. McWane started the McWane Cast Iron Pipe Company, a company that was designed and built as a specialty foundry for small diameter pipe. McWane Ductile’s expansion continued throughout the century by incorporating multiple facilities, including Pacific States Cast Iron Pipe Company, established in 1926 with McWane as a 50% partner; Atlantic States Cast Iron Pipe Company, purchased in 1975; Clow Water Systems Company, purchased in 1985; and Canada Pipe Company, purchased in 1989. The acquisition of these facilities strengthened McWane Ductile’s capabilities by bringing together the industry’s most experienced manufacturers and latest engineering techniques to create one iron-strong brand. Canada Pipe, also a member of the McWane ductile iron pipe companies, will retain its name, which best reflects its unique position as the leading ductile iron pipe provider in Canada. With over 900 employees, McWane Ductile is recognized today as the country's most experienced manufacturer and supplier of ductile iron pipe. The company's modern facilities offer 3" to 36" ductile iron pressure pipe and fittings to meet customer needs throughout the United States and Canada.

Les tuyaux en fonte ductile sont moulés à partir de fer en fusion dans des moules, tournant à grande vitesse dans un exploit d'ingénierie de précision qui est impressionnant à voir de près. Il ne s’agit pas d’une opération à l’emporte-pièce. Chaque tuyau, tout en répondant à toutes les spécifications et en passant chaque inspection, est unique. Ainsi, parfois, lorsque vous coupez un tuyau pour l'adapter à une longueur personnalisée, vous pouvez rencontrer un bâton qui doit être arrondi pour glisser proprement dans le joint. L’un des moyens les plus simples d’accomplir le travail consiste à utiliser le kit d’arrondi de champ externe McWane Ductile. Dans cette vidéo, le représentant commercial expert de Canada Pipe, David Rouleau, montre comment identifier lorsque vous avez une pipe légèrement ovale et comment utiliser le kit pour la ramener à l'arrondi. Vérifiez-le! #IronStrong #DIPipeTips https://lnkd.in/dWjChEQb

Thrilled to share a snapshot of our recent STEM Day at the Firth Youth Center with MDNJ! Our IT Manager, Ashley Pierre, engaged with eager young minds, showing the science and technology we use to make pipe. The center’s program integrates Reading and Writing into STEM, fostering a generation of thinkers who not only solve complex problems but also communicate their ideas effectively. The curiosity and enthusiasm of these 4th & 5th graders were truly inspiring. Their questions were insightful. Moments like these remind us of the importance of literacy in shaping future innovators. #IronStrong #STEM
