BERMAD Waterworks
Despite the problems of corrosion, weight, and appearance, in the realm of the waterworks industry, ductile iron has long held its prominence due to its ability to withstand high nominal pressure levels and its relative reliability.

BERMAD’s 700 SIGMA Valve with Superior Cavitation Resistance Allows the Supply of Water in Extreme Working Conditions
Cavitation, which can damage delivery networks, is a given in all water supply systems. However, it is a particular concern in Australia where water supplies are already limited. In systems with inadequate pressure controls, cavitation can lead to significant damage, including pipe bursts, and ultimately a pipe burst if pressure is not properly controlled.
