In recent years, with pvc ball valve the continuous development of the economy and the continuous progress of society, the construction industry, municipal engineering, water conservancy engineering, and agriculture have also continued to develop. In these industries, PPR pipes and PVC pipes are two commonly used pipes, and both pipes have their advantages. So how much do you know about the difference between PVC pipe and PPR pipe? The following editor introduces the difference between pvc pipe and ppr pipe.

The difference between PPR pipe and PVC pipe is tense, so the diameter of the pipe is the basis, but the essentials of this identification must be experienced. First of all, you must be familiar with the environment of the pipe, and at least have an impression. In this case, it will take a long time to see the size of the tube. Color difference: The materials used in the PPR tube have toughness, and the quality is good, the color is bright, and the other is light cream, and the quality is poor. The PVC tube is milky white, the material is hard and brittle, and the cross section has no light, but its appearance is shiny.

 

Wall thickness difference: The diameters of PPR and PVC pipes are the same, the biggest difference is the thickness of the pipe wall, the thickness of the PPR pipe.The PPR pipe and the PVC pipe have words on them. It is clear at a glance, and the toughness of the PPR pipe is good. Under the same pipe diameter, the PPR pipe wall is usually thicker. PPR pipe has the advantages of light weight, good corrosion resistance, no fouling and long service life.

 

Moreover, the PPR pipe is safe and non-toxic, and can be used in hot and cold water pipes, as well as in drinking water systems. The maximum temperature of the PPR tube can work at 90 degrees and 70 degrees, and the service life can be more than 50 years, and at normal temperature, the service life is more than 100 years. The installation of PPR pipe is very convenient, because PPR has good welding performance, whether it is thermal welding or electric welding machine, it is very convenient. Moreover, the broken material of the PPR pipe can be recycled, and can also be used for secondary use in the production of pipes and fittings. The PVC pipe cannot be recycled for the second time.
