## Description

The Ductile Iron Pipe Research Association (DIPRA) is an industry resource that has provided engineering information on cast iron and ductile iron pipe for more than 100 years. It works to help citizens, decision-makers, utilities, consulting engineers, and other professionals understand the benefits and applications of ductile iron pipe, particularly for water and wastewater systems. DIPRA offers technical resources, regional engineering support, expert assistance, installation guidance, and educational materials. Its website also features free web-based calculators for pipe thickness selection, support design, thrust restraint, hydraulic analysis, greenhouse gas emissions, and life-cycle cost analysis. These tools help professionals evaluate and specify pipe for project requirements. DIPRA shares information on pipe resilience, safety, sustainability, longevity, environmental benefits, and overall value, and provides comparisons with other pipe materials. The association works in close collaboration with ductile iron pipe manufacturing member companies and partners with other organizations. Its broader activities include advocacy, newsletters, and support for industry clubs, reflecting a focus on informed decision-making and reliable infrastructure.
