Ductile cast

Explanation:
“Fundición dúctil” = “Ductile Cast”
This is the short way with 3 English words:
"Ductile Cast Pipeline" = "Tubería de fundición dúctil"

I cannot see the word "Hierro"= "Iron" in your source, it could be steel or any other metal, but most probably will be Iron, but non mentioning it you will be in the safe side.

The correct complete term should contain the 4 English words:
"Ductile Cast Iron Pipeline" = Tubería de Fundición de Hierro Dúctil"

See attached link.

Would you please reclasify the question in the Metallurgy / Casting" grupe. That will be appreciated to feed the right glossary.
