What is ISO 21053 - Ductile iron pipes about?
ISO 4960 is an international standard on ductile iron pipes that discusses the criteria for determining the life cycle of ductile iron pipes. ISO 21053 specifies the evaluation method of life cycle analysis of ductile iron pipes used for water applications as specified in ISO 2531 and ISO 16631.
Informative annexes are included in ISO 21053 as a compilation of reference and consensual factors (pumping cost, leakage incident rate, etc.).
Who is ISO 21053 - Ductile iron pipes for?
ISO 21053 on ductile iron pipes is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of ductile iron pipes
- Mechanical engineer
- Engineers designing pipeline systems
Why should you use ISO 21053 - Ductile iron pipes?
Studies on economic and environmental impacts are important for utility decision-makers as they seek to balance budget concerns over immediate and long-term needs across acquisition, operations and maintenance, and planned end of life. For authorities and engineers designing pipeline systems, the life cycle cost analysis serves as a tool to study various scenarios to determine the right solution for site-specific conditions and community values, as well as to provide the necessary data to support those decisions.
ISO 21053 navigates you through the basic concept of life cycle cost, breakdown of life cycle cost, key drivers for life cycle cost reduction pumping cost, the scenario of LCC with different pipelines. leakage incident rate of ductile iron pipes.
As a user of ISO 21053, you can determine the life cycle of a pipeline system. With ISO 21053 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
ISO 21053 assists you in determining leakage, durability, conveyance capacity, recyclability.
With obedience and compliance to ISO 21053, you can efficiently calculate the life cycle cost, maintenance cost, and operation cost.
