It's interesting to note that cast iron can be used in certain circumstances. However, the ASME B31.12 standard prohibits its use. Are there specific pressure ranges or operating conditions in which the use of cast iron may be accepted?
Because cast irons are relatively brittle materials, they should generally be avoided in industrial and
transmission pipeline applications. In low pressure applications like residential distribution piping
systems, the use of cast irons is probably acceptable.
