Useful Properties of PPR Pipes And Fittings

 Among the many modern plastic materials being used in pipe networks for various applications is polypropylene random copolymer plastic or PPR as it is known commonly. Nowadays, PPR Pipes and Fittings are used across domestic and industrial applications. PPR piping system is also used central heating and radiator systems in residential and commercial buildings. The high demand for PPR pipe fittings and pipes stems from the many useful properties they have. Let us take a look at the various properties of PPR pipes and fittings:

1.       PPR pipes and fittings have a longer service and can remain operational for more than 50 years at a time without being damaged or cracked. They are durable and have high strength, resisting action by natural conditions such as roots of trees and plants as well.

2.       PPR pipes and fittings have low thermal conductivity which means that they do not transfer heat or cold to the external environment or get affected by it. This in turn minimizes the heat loss in the pipes and makes them ideal for hot water transport with minimal loss of energy, thereby also making them a sustainable option for supplying water.

3.       Compared to other plastic pipes and fitting materials, PPR pipes and fittings have a higher rate of resistance to corrosion. They are not easily reactive towards most harsh chemicals and hence survive much longer. Additionally, they do not get abraded easily, which keeps their mechanical structure intact for longer.

4.       Made from plastic and resistant to corrosion and abrasion, PPR pipes and fittings are also designed to have smooth inner surfaces. This prevents the loss of energy in the transport of substances and also maintains optimal pressure throughout the length of the transport for the material.

5.       As with other plastic pipes, PPR pipes are also lightweight and easy to transport. This not only makes their installation easier but also saves costs and energy in their installation and transport. Moreover, they are extremely easy to cut and join, which adds to the convenience of using and installing them.
