Plastic pipes are familiar materials in all constructions with high applicability and convenience in use, design and construction. However, do you understand all about plastic pipes? How to choose the right type of plastic pipe for your project? Find out with EUROPIPE in the article below!
Classification and application
Currently, there are 3 main types of plastic pipes commonly used in constructions: HDPE pipes, PP-R pipes and uPVC pipes. Each type of plastic pipe is used for different purposes based on their characteristics.
HDPE PIPES | PP-R PIPES | uPVC PIPE | |
Full name | High-density polyethylene | High Molecular weight Polypropylene Random Copolymers | Unplasticized Polyvinyl Clorua |
Product overview |
A kind of high density thermoplastic material. Pressure class: 6 bar, 8 bar, 10 bar, 12.5 bar, 16 bar, 20 bar, 25 bar Color: Black blue line to guide water; brown or yellow stripes for air conduction Specification: 6m, 9m, roll 50m: 200m. |
Material Polypropylene Random Size: from DN 20 to DN 160mm Working pressure: 10 bar, 16 bar, 20 bar, 25 bar Color: Blue or white with blue stripes for cold water, blue or white with red stripes for hot water. |
Standards: TCVN 6151-2:2000/ISO 4422-2:1996, TCVN 8491-2-2:2011/ISO, ISO 9001:2015 Working pressure: 3 bar, 4 bar, 6 bar, 8 bar, 10 bar, 12.5 bar, 16 bar, 20 bar, 25 bar |
Outstanding characteristics |
Non-toxic Anticorrosion High flow capacity High flexibility Easy to install Outstanding durability up to 100 years Environmental friendliness |
Withstands high temperatures up to 135 degrees Celsius Good heat retention Low installation cost due to light weight, easy to install and transport High flow capacity due to smooth tube lumen and minimal friction Durability more than 100 years of use |
Light, easy to transport, simple to install Small pipe surface, small coefficient of friction for good drainage Great mechanical strength, resistant to impact and high pressure No rust, resistant to chemicals Non-toxic Reasonable price. |
Application |
Plumbing system for urban projects Plumbing systems for civil and commercial use Industrial liquid conveying systems Agricultural irrigation and drainage systems Drainage system, sewage treatment system Gas and gas pipeline system (BS 1555) |
Cold and hot water supply Heating system including floor, wall heating Central air conditioning system Transportation industry fluids Industrial gas lines |
Installation for sewage system, rainwater drainage. Install clean water supply. Installation of water supply pipes for irrigation in agriculture. Installation for pipe systems to protect power lines, signals, and optical cables. Wide range of industrial applications. |
How to choose quality plastic pipes
To choose a good plastic pipe, you should base on the following criteria:
- Determine the needs and purposes of use in the project to choose the right type of plastic pipe.
- Determine the length and diameter of the pipes, check the thickness of the pipes to see if they meet the standards for use in the building or not.
- Factors such as smoothness, smoothness in the pipe wall; Pipes must have a uniform color with no roughness and a uniform thickness is also a concern.
- Choose products from reputable brands like EUROPIPE to always be assured of quality, clear warranty policy.
