What is PPR Pipe?
PPR pipe is a straight and rigid cylindrical pipe, made of Polypropylene Random Copolymer plastic, produced through a continuous extrusion process. PPR pipe is usually offered in green or white, and in outer diameter sizes ranging from 20mm to 110mm make the pipe walls much thicker than PVC. PPR pipe comes with a range of joint fittings, spare parts and accessories available for each pipe diameter.
PPR Pipe Characteristics
Low Thermal Conductivity
PPR's thermal conductivity is very low, meaning that the temperature cannot easily flow from the outside environment to the liquid in the pipe, and vice versa. This factor reduces heat loss or gain during transfer of hot or cold fluids, results in an energy efficient system and lowers insulation costs for PPR piping.
Long Life & Durability
PPR piping systems can remain functional for more than 50 years, over a wide range of fluid operating temperatures and environments. In addition, PPR pipes show excellent durability in both hot and cold water systems. First, it can withstand the pressure, temperature and pressure of the hot water system. At the same time, PPR pipes are able to withstand structural impacts even in cold weather installations without the risk of cracking or breaking, unlike other common types of plastic pipes.
Efficient Inner Surface
The inner surface of PPR pipes is very smooth and has a very low coefficient of friction, compared to traditional types of piping. This results in reduced pressure losses during fluid transport and distribution, which further contributes to the energy efficiency of the PPR piping system. In addition, unlike metal pipes, PPR does not flake or scale, making it safer to use.
Chemical & Mechanical Resistance
Compared to traditional plastic piping systems, PPR offers very high resistance to abrasion by hard particles. This is especially important in the case of well water or industrial applications, where the fluid being transferred may contain abrasive particles. In addition, unlike traditional metal piping, PPR is inert to most electrolytes and chemicals, over a wide temperature range. These electrolytic and chemical inertia make PPR piping safe to use in cases of high water salinity (eg in pond applications using seawater) or even highly corrosive chemicals (eg in industrial applications).
Ecological & Economic Efficiency
Due to the low weight of PPR pipes, their conveying, handling and installation does not require high energy consumption or manual labor. At the same time, they are very easy to cut, combine and work with, making them more economically sustainable. In addition, the connection of PPR pipes and fittings is done by heat only and does not require chemicals or additives. All of these factors contribute to the environmental impact and low cost of using PPR.
PPR Pipe Applications
The durability, economical and ecological advantages of PPR have led to it being used for a growing number of diverse applications in recent years. The most common PPR pipe applications include: piping hot and cold drinking water in residential, industrial and public installations. Industrial piping for transferring water, sanitary fluids, liquid food products, compressed air, and aggressive chemicals for example. a very acidic or alkaline solution. Construct a central radiator heating water, usually in a circular loop piping arrangement.
