Different Mechanical Properties of PP Pipes

Ningbo Fangli Technology Co., Ltd. is a mechanical equipment manufacturer with nearly 30 years’ experiences of plastic pipe extrusion equipment, new environmental protection and new materials equipment. Since its establishment Fangli has been developed based on user’s demands. Through continuous improvement, independent R&D on the core technology and digestion & absorption of advanced technology and other means, we have developed PVC pipe extrusion line, PP-R pipe extrusion line, PE water supply / gas pipe extrusion line, which was recommended by the Chinese Ministry of Construction to replace imported products. We have gained the title of “First-class Brand in Zhejiang Province”.

In the previous period, PP-C pipes and fittings appeared on the market, and the installation method was consistent with PP-R. Many people are confused about the difference between PP-R and PP-C, causing many misunderstandings and confusion. In international standards, polypropylene hot and cold water pipes are classified into PP-H, PP-B and PP-R, and there is no PP-C. The difference between the three types of PP pipes is that the stiffness of the PP-H, PP-B and PP-R pipes is successively decreased, and the impact strength is sequentially increased.

Among the three kinds of PP pipes, the pipe impact resistance PP-R>PP-B>PP-H, pipe heat distortion temperature PP-H>PP-B>PP-R, pipe rigidity PP-H>PP-B>PP- R, pipe temperature blasting temperature PP-H>PP-B and PP-R, pipe chemical resistance PP-H>PP-B and PP-R. Compared with other PP pipes, PP-R pipe has the outstanding advantages of improving the low temperature brittleness of PP-H and good long-term water pressure resistance at higher temperatures (60 °C), especially for hot water pipes. When used, the long-term strength is better than PP-H and PP-B.

The PP-C pipe on the market is actually a PP-B pipe, and the raw material is a block copolymer polypropylene pipe special material. PP-B pipe is a kind of hot and cold water pipe, the price is relatively cheap, and its heat resistance and pressure resistance are very different from those of PP-R. For example: using conditional classification 2, design pressure 0.6MPa DN25mm pipe, PP-R pipe wall thickness 3.5mm, PP-B (PP-C) pipe wall thickness 5.1mm; design pressure 0.8MPa DN25mm, PP-R pipe wall thickness 4.2mm, but PP-B (PP-C) can not be used. Because the required wall thickness is too thick. The PP-C pipe with the same structural size and PP-R on the market has much lower operating conditions and cannot be mixed with the PP-R pipe. It is also impossible to replace the PP-R pipe with a PP-C pipe after determining the conditions of use. The use condition 2 indicates a design temperature of 70 ° C for hot water supply.
