DUCTILE IRON PIPING SYSTEM





FORWARD

The current edition of the Cast Iron Pipes Manual has been updated and is ready for you to download as an E-Book in pdf format. By going to the European Association for Ductile Iron Pipe Systems · EADIPS®/Fachgemeinschaft Guss-Rohrsysteme (FGR®) e. V. website at www.eadips.org you can download the entire book or just individual chapters of it. This offers the numerous advantages of a modern E-Book which you can use interactively for your work. The search engine on the Adobe Reader provides the reader with various ways of searching the pdf for terms and passages of text and having the search results displayed in order with bookmarks.

The date given on the title page of the E-Book is that of the latest edition of the entire book (month and year). The dates given on the left-hand side of the footer on each of the chapter pages (also as month and year) indicate the publication date of the particular chapter. The publication date of a chapter is relevant for the references to standards and regulations quoted as at this date.

Each chapter is a unit on its own, comparable to a folder on a computer. This means that each chapter can be amended, updated or added to by the publisher independently of the other chapters. It is equally easy for new chapters to be added. Illustrations such as graphics, photos and tables usually appear close to the relevant content in the text. Videos relating to the subject being discussed are indicated by the symbol in the text. As long as you have a broadband connection, you can view them by clicking on this symbol in the pdf.

As at the time of going to press, you can order the latest version of the “Ductile iron pipe systems” manual as a perfect-bound booklet by going to www.eadips.org/e-book/. European Association for Ductile Iron Pipe Systems · EADIPS®/ Fachgemeinschaft Guss-Rohrsysteme (FGR®) e. V.
