How should we choose water supply pipes? With the continuous development of technology, the types of water supply pipes are becoming increasingly diverse. Faced with so many options, how should we choose? Below, I will guide you through the characteristics of selecting water supply pipe materials: 1. Non-toxic and hygienic. The raw materials of water supply pipes consist only of carbon and hydrogen elements, with no harmful or toxic elements present. They are hygienic and reliable, suitable not only for hot and cold water pipelines but also for pure drinking water systems. 2. Insulation and energy-saving. The thermal conductivity of the pipes is 0.21 W/m·K, which is only 1/200 of that of steel pipes. 3. Good heat resistance. The Vicat softening point of the pipes is 131.5℃. The working temperature can reach 95℃, which meets the usage requirements for hot water systems in building water supply and drainage specifications. 4. Long service life. Under working conditions of 70℃ and a working pressure (P.N) of 1.0 MPa, the service life can reach over 50 years (provided that the pipe material must be S3.2 or S2.5 series and above); at room temperature (20℃), the service life can reach over 100 years. 5. Convenient installation and reliable connection. The pipes have good welding performance, and the pipes and fittings can be connected via hot melt and electric fusion, making installation easy and connections reliable, with the strength of the connection points exceeding that of the pipe material itself. 6. Recyclable materials. Waste materials can be cleaned and crushed for reuse in the production of pipes and fittings. The amount of recycled material does not exceed 10% of the total, which does not affect product quality. If after reading this you still don't know how to choose, I recommend a water supply pipe material produced by Runshuo Pipe Industry, which is PPR water supply pipe material. PPR is a random copolymer polypropylene synthesized by the gas phase method from (PP and PE), characterized by the irregular linkage of PE molecules within PP molecules, with a molecular weight ranging from 300,000 to 800,000. Pipes made from PPR raw materials are also known as random copolymer polypropylene pipes, developed and applied in the late 1980s to early 1990s. With its excellent performance and wide application fields, it has secured a place in the plastic pipe market and is recognized as a green and environmentally friendly product. Product Advantages Compared to traditional cast iron pipes, galvanized steel pipes, and cement pipes, PPR water supply pipes offer advantages such as energy and material savings, environmental friendliness, lightweight high strength, corrosion resistance, smooth inner walls that do not scale, ease of construction and maintenance, and long service life. Application Fields 1. Hot and cold water systems in buildings, including centralized heating systems; 2. Heating systems within buildings, including floor, wall, and radiant heating systems; 3. Pure water supply systems for direct drinking; 4. Central (conventional) air conditioning systems; 5. Industrial pipeline systems for transporting or discharging chemical media, etc.
