For procurement in 2025 we find that K12 ductile iron pipe offers an excellent balance of mechanical strength and cost-effectiveness for medium- to high-duty water and wastewater mains; price from Chinese mills typically ranges roughly USD 500–900 per metric ton (delivered EXW / FOB depending on spec), while delivered installed costs in North America and […]

ASTM A106 Grade B seamless carbon steel pipe remains the industry workhorse for high-temperature service in 2025; market prices in 2025 vary widely by region and product form (small-lot retail, mill FOB, coated/finished) — roughly $600–1,200 / tonne for bulk Chinese FOB offers, $700–1,200 / tonne for typical Indian ex-works quotes, and $900–2,200 / tonne

In 2025 the market for ASTM A53 carbon steel pipe is fragmented — wholesale sourcing from China and other Asian mills commonly sits in the USD $500–900 / metric tonne band for plain ERW/LSAW products, while India wholesale lists commonly show ₹55–80 / kg (≈ USD $630–920 / tonne using mid-2025 exchange rates).

For typical potable-water cement-mortar lined ductile-iron (DI) pipe in 2025 we estimate factory (ex-works) prices roughly as follows: China: ~US$450–700 per ton, India: ~US$500–800 per ton, United States: commonly higher and sold via regional distributors (price lists vary widely; bond-sold contracts and local fabrication add cost), Western Europe: similar or above U.S. levels.

In 2025, ductile iron flanged fittings remain cost-competitive for heavy municipal and industrial piping projects — we find factory-FOB prices from major Asian foundries commonly in the $850–$1,300 per metric-ton band for plain ductile-iron castings, while finished flanged fittings sold in western markets more often appear as unit prices that range from $100–$400 for small/medium
