Select the material of the water pipe to make the pipe used for a long time

To the building materials city, you will find that there is a dazzling array of plumbing, PP-R pipes, plastic pipes, copper pipes, composite pipes, and so on. How do you choose the right water pipe material?

Stable and reliable, no water leakage, no burst

In the service life of water pipes, there will be no events such as water leaks or bursts that endanger life and family safety, ensuring long-term use. This requires the water pipe to be resistant to corrosion, high temperature, frost resistance and good mechanical properties.

The comparison found that plastic pipe can not be high temperature resistance, in the case of large temperature difference is easy to deformation caused by leakage, and its small pressure resistance, easy to embrittlement, these are destined not suitable for long-term heating, not suitable for use in cold northern Is not suitable for high-rise buildings.

Composite pipe combines the advantages of metal and plastic, but precisely because of the different expansion coefficients of plastic and metal, long-term use will inevitably lead to delamination of the pipe, causing harm.

For copper pipes, we all know that copper has a low order in chemical activity ranking, stable performance, and strong corrosion resistance. Copper is a material with a certain strength and excellent plasticity and toughness. It has excellent low-temperature properties. Therefore, copper pipes are not only resistant to heat and fire, but also have no anti-frost performance. In addition, the copper tube is robust and has a low thermal expansion rate and is particularly suitable for embedding in cement walls without having to worry about wall cracking. However, the price of copper pipes is more expensive.

Copper tubes can inhibit the growth of bacteria

The main components of plastic pipes are some high-molecular polymers, which have certain toxicity and are relatively easy to infiltrate. Especially if they are used in direct drinking water supply systems, they have serious harm to the human body. Copper pipes can inhibit the growth of bacteria. E. coli can no longer reproduce in copper pipes. More than 99% of E. coli and pneumococcal bacteria will eliminate themselves after entering the copper pipes for 5 hours, maintaining the cleanliness of drinking water.

PP-R and copper pipes can be buried in walls

We all know that plastic pipes are extremely convenient to install, but most of the parts connected to them are metal parts. Because the mechanical properties of plastics and metals are very different, they can easily cause bursts or leaks. Therefore, they cannot be buried in the walls during construction. Can only be laid outside. The PP-R, brass and its accessories and specifications are complete and can be selected from 6mm-250mm. PP-R pipe can be welded seamlessly, and manufacturers can also be buried in the wall when installing. Its advantages are that the price is cheaper and the construction is convenient. The cutting, bending, and welding of copper tubes are also easy, and the connection forms are various and can fully meet the needs of various occasions and situations.

The PPR tube for hot and cold water has the advantages of hygienic non-toxicity, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, good heat preservation, simple and reliable installation, and can be directly used in pure water and drinking water piping systems.

Regardless of the kind of pipe, consumers should pay attention to:

Whether the implementation standards clearly stated on the pipe are the corresponding national standards, try to purchase products that implement national standards. The appearance of the pipe should be smooth, flat, no blistering, uniform color, no impurities, and uniform wall thickness. For the same material, choose a pipe with a thicker wall thickness.
