Ductile cast‐iron pipe was buried for up to fourteen years in a variety of soil environments. This final report, comparing its Performance to that of carbon steel buried in the same soils, suggests the two substances corrode at nearly the same rates when encased in some soils. Different soils, however, alter the corrosion rates considerably for both materials.
