What is a pp tube? Advantages and disadvantages of polypropylene pipeline

PP pipe is the most common material in water pipes, and its scientific name is polypropylene, which is used to transport drinking water. Moreover, this material is very environmentally friendly, non-toxic, good in heat resistance and not easy to corrode. As long as the connection is in place, it is not easy to leak water and the quality is relatively light. In addition, the construction is relatively simple and the service life is very long. It is a common water pipe material for home installation.

Second, the advantages of pp tube

1, no rust: PP pipe can withstand the corrosion of high concentration acid and alkali with PH value of 1 ~ 14 in a large temperature range.

2. Wear resistance and no scaling: the inner walls of PP pipes and fittings are even and smooth, with small flow resistance and no scaling.

3. Reduce vibration and noise: PP pipe has excellent sound insulation performance, which can significantly reduce vibration and noise caused by liquid flow.

4. Anti-freeze cracking: PP material has excellent elasticity, so that the cross section of pipes and fittings can expand with frozen liquid without cracking.

5, anti-condensation, less heat loss: PP material is a bad heat conductor, which can reduce condensation and reduce less heat loss.

6. Simple installation: PP pipe is light in weight, easy to install and operate, and has weldability.

7. Long service life: The service life of the PP pipe system is 50 years under the specified service conditions.

Third, the shortcomings of pp tube

Although PP tube has many advantages, we can't ignore its disadvantages. This shortcoming is reflected in its high temperature resistance and pressure resistance. If working for a long time, the working temperature should not exceed 70 degrees. And during construction, it is best not to bend. If there are many corners, it may lead to water leakage.
