PPR Pipe

Introduction of PP-R Pipe

PP-R pipe (Polypropylene Random Copolymer pipe) is a new type of pipe, which is widely used in construction, chemical industry, drinking water and other fields.It has characteristics of high temperature, high pressure, high strength, smoothness, easy connection and easy installation. There are also different types and structures of PPR pipes.

Details of PP-R Pipe

PP-R pipes can fully meet with all requirements on GB/T18742 standards & EN ISO 15874 standards:

Properties		Typical Value
Specific Gravity,g/cm³(20℃)		0.89~0.91
Tensile Strength,MPa		≥20
Modulus of Elasticity,N/mm²(20℃)		800
Thermal Conductivity,w/(m ·k)(20℃)		0.23～0.24
Coefficient of Linear Expansion,mm/(m ·k)		0.14~0.16
Longitudinal Reversion,%(135℃,2h)		≤2
Hydraulic Pressure Test	20℃,1h,Hoop Stress is 16MPa	No Failure
	95℃,1000h,Hoop Stress is 3.5MPa	No Failure
	110℃,8760h,Hoop Stress is 1.90MPa	No Failure
Note:The plastic fittings should be adopted threaded metal fittings with corrosion resistance when they are intended to connect with metal pipe and water transportation device.

High Temperature Resistance: the maximum sustained working temperature is up to 70°C, the maximum transient temperature is up to 95°C. 

Heat Preservation: low thermal conductivity which is only 1/1500 of brass pipe, and 1/250 of steel pipe. 

Non-toxic: no heavy metal additives, would not be covered with dirt or contaminated by bacterium. 

Corrosion Resistance: resist chemical matters and electron chemical corrosion. 

High Flow Capacity: smooth interior walls and low friction result in low flow resistance and high volume. 

Excellent Flexibility: can be supplied in coil.

Low Installation Costs: light weight and ease of installation can reduce installation costs 

Longevity: more than 50 years under proper use © Recycled and Environment-friendly

Applications of PP-R Pipe

Cold and hot water supply 

PP-R pipes are commonly used in both hot and cold water supply systems in homes, apartments, and commercial buildings. They are highly resistant to scaling and corrosion, making them an ideal choice for water distribution.

Heating system including flooring heating, wall heating and radiant system 

PP-R pipes has the advantage low energy consumption,It is an excellent choice for energy-saving residential and commercial heating solutions.

Central air conditioning system 

PP-R pipes are used in certain compressed air applications, especially in low- to medium-pressure systems. The smooth interior of the pipes reduces the risk of blockages, making them effective for air distribution.

Swimming Pools

PP-R pipes are commonly used in pool water circulation and filtration systems, as they are resistant to chemicals like chlorine, which are frequently used in pool maintenance.

Packing and Shipment

FAQ of PP-R pipe

Q1,How many structure of PPR pipe have?

1. Single layer structure

The single-layer structure is the basic structure of PPR pipes, which is made of one layer of polypropylene material. The structure has the advantages of simplicity, beautiful appearance and moderate price.

• Fiber reinforced structure

The fiber-reinforced structure is a PPR pipe with a relatively complex structure. It consists of a multi-layer structure, in which the fiber-reinforced layer is directly connected to the inner and outer layers by heat welding. The advantages of this structure are high strength, impermeability and long service life.

Q2,How to choose PPR pipe?

1. Select materials according to usage scenarios:

Different use scenarios have different requirements for PPR pipes. For example, the water supply field requires relatively high material and strength requirements for PPR pipes, while the drainage field requires pipes with good toughness.

2. Select according to the pipe diameter:

The diameter of the PPR pipe usually has multiple specifications such as 20mm, 25mm, 32mm, 40mm, 50mm, etc., and the appropriate diameter can be selected according to the needs.

3. Select according to the pressure and temperature used:

The choice of PPR pipe should also be selected according to the pressure and temperature to be borne. For example, in some high-temperature scenes, high-temperature PPR pipe materials should be selected.

Q3,How many types of PPR pipes?

1. Ordinary PPR pipe

Ordinary PPR pipes refer to ordinary pipe materials that are normally used, and are usually used in water supply, drainage, and gas fields. The pipe is characterized by high density, high strength, aging resistance, corrosion resistance, impact resistance, safety and environmental protection.

2. PPR reinforced tube

PPR reinforced pipe is a pipe made of specially added reinforcing materials, which is more excellent than ordinary pipes in terms of strength and pressure resistance, and is widely used in industries, construction and agriculture.

3. PPR fiber reinforced pipe

PPR fiber reinforced pipe is a new type of PPR pipe, which adds fiber materials on the basis of raw materials. The biggest feature of this pipe is its high strength, while maintaining the advantages of PPR pipes, it is widely used in high-rise buildings, water supply, heating and floor heating and other fields.

Q4,What is the mainly use of PPR pipe?

PPR pipes are suitable for fields such as industry, construction and agriculture. Among them, the water supply field is the most important usage scenario. PPR pipes can replace traditional metal pipes, which have long service life and low maintenance costs, and at the same time make the project modular and easy to maintain. PPR pipes can be installed inside the wall or underground, and can be installed indoors and outdoors. It has the characteristics of safety, environmental protection and health.
