PPR pipe is called random copolymer polypropylene pipe, which is a kind of water supply pipe that is widely used in home improvement projects.
Why is the color of PPR different
The pure PPR raw material is transparent, and the reason for the different colors is the addition of different color masterbatches. Therefore, different colors of PPR water pipes do not mean different quality. The quality of water pipes is determined by factors such as the quality of raw materials, production processes, and production equipment.
What are the characteristics of the connection of PPR water pipes?
The interface of the PPR pipe adopts hot-melt technology, and the pipe and pipe fittings are fused and connected together. Once the installation is completed and the pressure test is passed, it can be used with confidence and high reliability.
In terms of overall performance, PPR pipe is currently the most cost-effective pipe material, so it has become the preferred material for home improvement water pipe installation. Compared with pipes of other materials: galvanized iron pipes have been banned by the Ministry of Construction in 2000 due to many shortcomings; copper pipes are durable and environmentally friendly, but they have not been widely used due to high prices and high construction requirements.
How are the specifications of PPR water pipes divided?
There are two main indicators:
Diameter: The diameter of commonly used PPR pipes can range from 20mm to 160mm. The main ones used in home decoration are 20mm and 25mm (commonly known as 4 in charge and 6 in charge).
Pipe wall thickness: Under different specifications, the wall thickness of pipes of the same pipe diameter will also be different, such as 20mm pipe diameter PPR pipe, the wall thickness has different specifications such as 2.8mm, 3.4mm.
Commonly used PPR pipe fittings
There are 4 kinds of commonly used PPR pipe connectors, which are generally welded to water pipes:
Elbow: divided into the right-angle bend and 45 bends, used when the water pipe needs a corner.
Tee: connect water pipes in three directions.
Size head: a connecting piece that connects two water pipes with different pipe diameters.
Inner wire, outer wire: used for connecting faucets, water meters, and other types of water pipes. Most of the inner wire parts are used in home decoration.
Ball valve: used for opening and closing water flow.
Bridge: Used when two water pipes intersect on the same plane without butting.
How to judge the quality of PPR water pipes?
To judge the quality of PPR pipes, we must first look at their appearance. High-quality pipes have a smooth appearance, complete identification, and brand names on the accessories; inferior products cannot do this. Secondly, it is judged by factors such as origin and raw materials, because high-quality pipes use raw materials from large global companies such as Borealis, and the production equipment and production processes are more advanced.
YPPR Aluminum Pipe
ASB PPR Aluminum Pipe combines the advantages of ordinary PPR pipe and metal pipe,
and at the same time, the hygienic and corrosion resistance of plastic pipe, as well as the characteristics of metal pipe, such as UV resistance, non-oxygen permeability,
and open installation without deformation, making it have higher strength and more stable mechanical properties.
