Since the first installation of cement‐lined cast‐iron pipe in 1922, many improvements have been made in the processing of cement‐lined pipe. Today, well‐cured linings, free of surface imperfection, offer very little frictional resistance to the flow of water and are used in approximately 80 per cent of the cast‐iron pipe installed in water systems. This article discusses the development of standards for cast iron pipe and cement‐mortar linings, along with field service testing .
