Common Type of Plastic Pipes
| Common Type of Plastic Pipes | ||
| Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe | UPVC pipe | Has features acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, no rusting and no scaling. It can protect water quality and prevent secondary pollution. It is widely used in drainage and water supply projects of buildings and municipal works, and can also be used as cable conduits for post and telecommunications as well as infusion piping in chemical plants. |
| CPVC pipe | Has excellent high-temperature and high-pressure resistance and can resist the erosion of various chemical substances. It is widely used in urban power grid construction and renovation, urban municipal renovation projects, civil aviation airport engineering construction, etc., and can be used as a guiding and protective pipe for the cable laying of urban street lamps. | |
| PVC-O pipe | As an advanced form of PVC pipes, PVC-O pipes, with the aid of a special orientation processing technology, are subjected to axial and radial stretching of PVC-U pipes, causing the long-chain molecules of PVC to be regularly arranged in a biaxial direction and constructing a unique network structure. | |
| Polyethylene (PE) pipe | HDPE pipe | They feature high strength and rigidity, strong corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and excellent resistance to environmental stress cracking. It is mainly used in buried gas transmission pipelines for natural gas and artificial gas, urban water supply and drainage, agricultural irrigation, salt brine mine transportation pipelines, oil transportation pipelines and other fields. |
| LDPE pipe | They have good flexibility and excellent low-temperature resistance, but their strength is relatively low. It is commonly used for transporting low-pressure gases and liquids, such as agricultural sprinkler irrigation pipes, drainage pipes, and some occasions that require better flexibility. | |
| PE-X pipe | Through the cross-linking process, the polyethylene molecular chains form a three-dimensional network structure, which improves the heat resistance, pressure resistance and creep resistance of the pipe. It is mainly applied to the cold and hot water systems, heating systems, floor radiant heating systems, etc. of buildings. | |
| PE-RT pipe | Has excellent low-temperature and high-temperature resistance and can be used within the temperature range of -70 ℃ to 90℃. PE-RT pipe has good flexibility and impact resistance, strong chemical corrosion resistance, a smooth inner wall, does not scale and does not breed bacteria. | |
| Polypropylene (PP) pipe | PP-R pipe | Composed of two elements, carbon and hydrogen, it is completely non-toxic and complies with food hygiene regulations. PP-R pipe is suitable for the transportation of drinking water. It is mainly applied in drinking water systems, heating systems, air conditioning systems, as well as industrial fields such as chemical engineering and food processing. |
| FRPP pipe | On the basis of ordinary polypropylene pipe, glass fiber and other reinforcing materials are added, which improves the strength, rigidity and heat resistance of the pipe. It is mainly used in the fields of chemical engineering and environmental protection, and can convey some media with strong corrosiveness and high temperature. | |
| Polybutene (PB) pipe | Has a very high temperature resistance and can operate stably within the temperature range of -30 ℃ to 100℃, with excellent cold and heat resistance. It has good chemical stability and plasticity, is odorless, non-toxic and tasteless, and is suitable for various chemical environments. | |
| Engineering plastic (ABS) pipe | Has excellent comprehensive performance, such as high strength, rigidity, impact resistance and corrosion resistance. The surface is smooth, with low fluid resistance, not prone to scaling, and easy to install. It is mainly used in building water supply and drainage systems, chemical pipeline systems, sewage treatment systems, etc., and can also be used to manufacture automotive parts, electrical enclosures, etc. | |
How to Produce Plastic Pipes?
The core process of producing plastic pipes is extrusion molding, which processes plastic raw materials into tubular products through heating plasticization, extrusion molding, cooling and shaping.
Main components of plastic pipe extrusion line: raw material processing system, single/twin screw extruder, extrusion die, vacuum tank, cooling system, haul-off unit:, cutting machine, stacking rack.
Recommended Pipe by Application:
1. Municipal engineering: drainage and sewage pipes (PVC-U, HDPE double-wall corrugated pipes), water supply pipes (PE, PPR).
2. Construction engineering: threading pipes (PVC-C), floor heating pipes (PE-RT, PEX).
3. Industrial field: chemical pipelines (PP, PVDF), gas transmission pipes (PE gas pipes).
4. Agricultural field: irrigation pipes (PE, PVC-U), drip irrigation pipes.
