CPVC Versus PPR Piping Systems: A Quick Guide

When it comes to piping systems, there are many different materials that are in use. As opposed to traditional metal pipes, plastic pipes and fittings have become a preferred choice worldwide on account of their innovative features and specifications. Among these plastic pipes are the chlorinated polyvinyl chloride or CPVC and Polypropylene Random Copolymer or PPR Piping System. For different uses, each pipe material has its own use. Read on to know the differences between PPR and CPVC pipes and fittings:

PPR Pipes and Fittings

1.       PPR piping system has a longer service and can remain operational for more than 50 years at a time without being damaged or cracked. They are durable and have high strength, resisting action by natural conditions such as roots of trees and plants as well.

2.       PPR pipes and fittings have low thermal conductivity which means that they do not transfer heat or cold to the external environment or get affected by it. This in turn minimizes the heat loss in the pipes and makes them ideal for hot water transport with minimal loss of energy, thereby also making them a sustainable option for supplying water.

3.       Compared to other plastic pipes and fitting materials, PPR pipe fittings have a higher rate of resistance to corrosion. They are not easily reactive towards most harsh chemicals and hence survive much longer. Additionally, they do not get abraded easily, which keeps their mechanical structure intact for longer.

 

CPVC Pipes and Fittings

  1. The pipes made from CPVC are resistant to most types of harsh chemicals, including several acids and bases, as well as to natural or environmental corrosion. This makes them suitable for high efficiency performance without damage.
  2. The smooth inner surface of the CPVC pipes ensures that any substance flowing through them does so at optimally high pressure. This ensures enhanced performance efficiency of the entire system.
  3. The construction of CPVC pipes is such that they give high mechanical strength which can withstand damage even under severe external pressure. This makes them much more durable as compared to other pipe systems which can crack and get damaged under pressure.

Useful Properties Of Ppr Piping Systems

 One of the popular thermoplastics to have been put to use in the recent times is PPR or polypropylene random copolymer. Far thicker than the popular polyvinyl chloride or PVC pipes, PPR pipes have many advantageous properties which make it suitable for use in different areas. Let us take a look at the useful properties of PPR pipes: PPR pipes and fittings exhibit high material stability, which ensures that it lasts for a much longer time as compared to other metallic pipes and at the same time, it can withstand high temperatures. High corrosion resistance is also another property of PPR pipes. Additionally, these pipes are also resistant to rust and scaling which makes them highly suited for the transport of water. Since PPR is also resistant to reaction of a wide range of chemicals, it can also be used for industrial supply of most chemicals. PPR pipe fittings and pipes are also resistant to hydrolysis, which means that they do not ...
