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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. PPR pipe fittings and pipes are also resistant to hydrolysis, which means that they do not react with water and get damaged. This property also makes them suitable for the transport of potable water.
  4. As compared to thermoplastic pipes, PPR pipes contract minimally. This is because they are designed with a fibre layer which does not expand when exposed to temperature variation. 
  5. PPR pipes are easily joined using the heat fusion method. In this method, high temperature causes the melted material to collect at the joint, which gives it extra durability. At the same time, due to the heat resistance of the material, its properties do not change which ensures that the joint are extremely strong and safe.
  6.  Pipes and fittings made from PPR have low thermal conductivity, which means that the heat loss and gain in these pipes and fittings is much lower as compared to other thermoplastic pipes. This in turn implies there is lower condensation in PPR pipes and fittings.
  7. The various properties of PPR pipes such as corrosion resistance, higher material stability, and resistance to rust and chemicals also give it enhanced longevity, of over 50 years.
  8. PPR piping system is also a sustainable piping material with lower environmental impact and lower costs of installation and maintenance.

CPVC Versus PPR Piping Systems: A Quick Guide

Image
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 envi...
