The Various Properties and Applications of PPR Pipes

First developed in the 90s, Polypropylene Random PPR pipes and PPR Copolymer plastic PP RCT pipes are types of plastic pipes which have acquired increasing popularity over the years. This is on account of their durability, rigidity, cost effectiveness and long life. They also have high thermal conductivity, which makes them much preferred than the PVC pipes and PE pipes marketed by HDPE pipe suppliers. There are several useful properties of PPR pipes which make them suitable for a wide range of applications in domestic, industrial and commercial setups. Let us understand the various properties and applications of PPR pipes:

1.The rigid structure and thicker pipe walls of PPR pipes makes them suitable for installation in places where the pipes are burdened under heavy weight.

2.The thermal conductivity of PPR pipes is also very high, which means that they are not affected by the temperature outside. There is no heat loss in these pipes, and therefore PPR pipes are well suited for transporting liquids, such as water and chemicals at high temperatures. This makes the pipes extremely energy efficient and also Eco-friendly. Additionally, no special costs are incurred in insulating the pipes, which makes them much more cost effective.

3.The inner walls of PPR pipes are also extremely smooth as compared to other types of pipes, especially metallic ones. This ensures that the material flowing through PPR pipes does not lose any pressure in transit and high pressure flow is facilitated.  

4.Unlike metal pipes, PPR Pipes do not flake and do not rust, which makes them extremely useful for transporting potable water.

5.PPR pipes are not eroded or damaged when transporting hard particles which makes them extremely suitable for industrial applications where liquids containing abrasive material is to be transported.

6.The inertness of PPR pipes to electrolytes and chemicals of a wide variety across different temperature ranges makes them safe for transporting water with high salinity as well as for transporting chemicals.

7.PPR pipes are extremely lightweight which results in very little labour, effort, time and money being incurred for their transport and installation. These pipes are also fitted and joined through heat, without need for any additional chemical adhesives. These result in the saving of precious energy which makes them an environment friendly material to work with.
