WHAT IS PPR PIPE AND HOW IS IT
USED?
INTRODUCATION
Because of their cost-effectiveness, durability, and long service
life, PPR pipes have become increasingly popular over the last
two decades. As a contractor, you may have wondered why some
well-known companies prefer to manufacture PPR pipes over PE
and PVC pipes. In the following blog, we will go over the
fundamentals of PPR pipes, including their benefits, features, and
most common applications. So, let's start with the fundamentals.
What Exactly is PPR Pipe?
PPR pipe is a rigid and straight cylindrical pipe made of
Polypropylene Random Copolymer plastic and produced
through a continuous extrusion process. They are typically
available in white or green, with outer diameters ranging
from 20mm to 110mm, making the pipe walls thicker than
PVC. PPR pipes are accompanied by a variety of connection
parts, fittings, and accessories for each pipe diameter.

Long-Term Use and Durability
PPR piping systems can operate in a wide range of fluid and
environmental operating temperatures for more than 50 years.
Furthermore, PPR pipe is extremely durable in both cold and hot water
systems. It can initially ensure the temperature and pressure strain of
hot water systems. At the same time, unlike other common types of
plastic pipes, PPR pipes can withstand structural impacts even in cold
weather installations without breaking or cracking.
Thermal Conductivity is Low.
PPR has a much lower thermal conductivity, which means
that temperature cannot be easily transferred from the
outside environment to the liquid in the pipe and vice versa.
This factor also reduces heat loss or gain during the transfer
of cold or hot fluids, resulting in more energy-efficient
systems and lower PPR pipe insulation costs.
Mechanical and Chemical Endurance
When compared to traditional plastic piping systems, PPR
pipes have a much higher resistance to abrasion by hard
particles. This is especially important in well water or
industrial applications where the liquids being transferred
may contain abrasive particles. Furthermore, unlike metal
piping, PPR is inert to most electrolytes and chemicals
over a wide temperature range. Because of the inertness
of electrolytic and chemical components, PPR piping is a
safe choice for use in high-salinity environments.
Effective Inner Surface
When compared to traditional types of piping, the inner
surface of PPR pies is smooth and has a very low
friction coefficient. This can lead to less pressure loss
during fluid transport and distribution, which
contributes to the energy efficiency of PPR piping
systems. PPR pipes, unlike metal pipes, do not flake or
scale, making them much safer to use.
High environmental and economic
efficiency
Because of the lightweight of PPR pipe, it's handling,
transportation, and installation do not necessitate a lot of
energy or manual labour. At the same time, they are
extremely simple to join, cut, and work with, making them
far more economically viable. Again, joining PPR pipes and
fittings is accomplished solely through heat and requires no
additional chemicals or materials.
Applied Sciences
The durability, ecological, and economic
benefits of PPR have resulted in a
significant increase and diversification of
PPR Pipe applications in recent years.
The Most Common Applications are as
Follows:
Cold and hot potable water pipes can be found in industrial,
residential, and public buildings. Water, liquid food products,
sanitary liquids, aggressive chemicals, and compressed air,
such as highly acidic or alkaline solutions, are all transported
using industrial piping.
