Pressure Cleaning Guidelines
The Ductile Iron Pipe Research Association publishes the Installation Guide for Ductile Iron Pipe. The following language comes from Chapter 7 of the February 2012 edition of this document:
The use of pressure washing to clean the inside diameter of cement-mortar-lined iron pipe is not recommended due to the possibility of damage to the seal coat and/or cement-mortar lining. The aggressiveness of the pressure washing is dependent on water pressure, travel speed, water jets, water jet angle to the lining, distance of the water jets from the lining, diameter of pipe, type of lining application, etc. Any attempt to do so is at the sole risk of the equipment operator.
Star Pipe Products (SPP) concurs with this position. SPP will not be responsible for the repair or replacement of SPP product damaged by pressure jetting.
