What is water pipe？

Plastic water pipes are high-tech composite chemical building materials, and chemical building materials are the fourth largest new building materials emerging in the contemporary era after steel, wood and cement. Chemical building materials have made great progress in China, especially the widespread use of new environmentally friendly plastic pipes, which has revolutionized the replacement of traditional building materials. Plastic water pipes are widely used in building water supply and drainage, urban water supply and drainage, gas pipes and other fields due to their small loss of water flow, energy saving, material saving, ecological protection, and convenient completion. They have become the main force of the new century urban construction pipe network.

Different from plastic water pipes and traditional materials, the pace of technological advancement is faster. The emergence of new technologies, new materials and new processes has made the advantages of plastic pipes more traditional than traditional materials. Compared with traditional metal pipes and cement pipes, plastic water pipes are light in weight, generally only 1/6-1/10 of metal pipes, have good corrosion resistance, impact resistance and tensile strength, and inner surface of plastic water pipes. More smooth than cast iron pipe, less friction coefficient, less fluid resistance, can reduce water consumption by more than 5%, comprehensive energy saving, manufacturing energy consumption reduced by 75%, convenient transportation, simple installation, long service life of 30-50 year. Plastic water pipes are developing rapidly in countries all over the world. Developed countries have taken an absolute advantage in the application of plastic water pipes in the water supply and gas fields. Plastic water pipes are not only used to replace traditional steel pipes, cast iron pipes, etc., but also replace PVC pipes. The reason lies in the innovation of plastic water pipes. On the one hand, there has been significant progress in materials. Through the improvement of the production process of plastic water pipe polymerization, the strength of plastic water pipe special materials has almost doubled. On the other hand, there are new developments in application technology. For example, the technique of laying polyethylene pipes by directional drilling method without using trenches to fully exploit the superiority of plastic water pipes, so that traditional pipes are not suitable at all occasions suitable for this method. Competitive ability. There are still a lot of new materials and new technologies being researched, or they have been researched and tested. It is certain that the technological progress of plastic water pipes in the next 10 years will promote the development of plastic water pipes more rapidly and more widely.

What the types of plastic water pipe?

• ABS plastic water pipe (abs)

Its structural weight is small, one-seventh of the same specification steel. The chemical properties are stable, the fluid resistance is small, the sealing performance is good, the water quality is not changed, and there is no secondary pollution. The raw material cost of the plastic water pipe is low, which greatly saves the engineering investment, the construction is simple and the effect is good, the bonding strength is high, the curing speed is fast, and the dripping phenomenon of the general pipeline is avoided. ABS plastic pipes can last up to several decades in the room and will last longer if buried in the ground or in water. ABS plastic pipes are commonly used in the food industry, pharmaceutical industry, and the like.

• Polybutylene plastic water pipe (PB)
  

Durable temperature resistance, chemical stability, good plasticity, odorless, tasteless and non-toxic, is one of the world's leading chemical materials, and has the reputation of “plastic gold”. Its light weight, good flexibility and corrosion resistance. When used in pressure pipes, plastic water pipes are extremely resistant to high temperature and can be used for a long time at 95 °C. The maximum operating temperature can reach 110 °C. The surface roughness of the pipe is 0.007, it does not scale and does not need to be insulated, which can effectively protect the water quality.

• Three type polypropylene plastic water pipe (PP-R)

The plastic water pipe is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, light in weight and corrosion-resistant, the inner wall is non-fouling and extremely smooth, the maintenance and construction is simple, and the service life is long. It is widely used in industry, agriculture, construction, municipal administration, etc.

• Heat-resistant polyethylene plastic pipe (PE-RT)

Has a very strong high temperature performance. Plastic water pipes are usually used as indoor hot and cold water pipes, and are used in hot water systems. They are ideal for radiant heating applications. High strength, high fatigue resistance and excellent crack resistance.

• Cross-linked polyethylene plastic water pipe (PE-X)

Excellent wear resistance, thermal deformation, chemical resistance, stress crack resistance, etc. With its superior performance, plastic water pipes are widely used in drinking water plastic water pipes and hot and cold plastic water pipes in construction engineering, municipal engineering. It is also used for pipes for floor heating systems or pipes for conventional heating systems, pipelines for pure water systems, fluid transportation for food industry, petroleum, chemical industry fluid pipelines, refrigeration system pipelines, and buried gas pipelines.

Plastic water pipes are an important part of construction engineering. Their superior performance, environmental sanitation, low energy consumption and high practicality are favored by consumers. But plastic pipes also come in different types, and different types have different characteristics and applications.if you want to know how to anything else, please send email to us, our sales team will help for you .For krah pipe and HDPE pipes also applies
