PP-R pipe

Detailed Product Description

CHARACTERISTICS OF PPR PIPE SYSTEM

UV Resistance: PP-R pipes and fittings are not ultra-violet resistant and must be covered, lagged or painted if being installed outdoors. The pipe can be painted using an etch primer to prepare the surface, and then applying a UV stable paint.
Head Loss: The internal surfaces of the pipes and fittings are smooth, so limestone or other deposits can not form and therefore head loss is reduced to a minimum.
Acoustic: The material elasticity and high insulation capacity mean a considerable reduction in the noise of the installation even when there is water hammering.
Abrasion: PP-R pipes allow high velocities of the transported fluid, up to 7m/s, without the problem of erosion, even in the presence of acid and alkaline substances with PH values between 1 and 14.
Energy saving: The reduced heat dispersion, in association with a low thermal inertia, allow to supply hot water even if the pipe has not yet reached the average operating temperature. The energy saving is in the range of 10% to 20%.
Conductivity: The PP-R system is a poor conductor of electricity; therefore perforation phenomena caused by stray currents are unknown. Since PP-R is a poor conductor of heat, condensation and heat dispersion of the transported fluid are considerably reduced.
Flexibility: The flexibility and resilience of the PP-R pipelines allow their use also in seismic areas. The low specific weight means easy transport and handling. The system can be used in traditional site installation, for the preparation of prefabricated constructions and in the creation of modules or fitted walls.
Welding: This is a fundamental characteristic of the system. It enables all of the elements in the system to be joined by socket fusion welding or through the use of an electrofusion coupling. This method ensures a completely homogenous system.
Frost proof: The typical elasticity of PP-R permits the enlargement of the pipe section under the thrust of the volume increase due to freezing of the conveying liquid.

PHYSIC - CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

Specific weight - 0.9 kg/m3
Thermal expansion coefficient - for Donsen PPR pipes 0.12mm/mK
Thermal conductivity 0.22 W/mK, fire rating - Class C3
Resistance against chemicals - PPR piping systems are intended mainly for water distribution (drinking, cold, hot, irrigation, etc.) - it is also possible to use the system for other media, in which case their concrete use is governed by DIN 8077-8078 ,possible to consult the manufacturer
