In this article we will talk about the pipe pprc, which is strengthened internally by reinforcement. So, polypropylene pipes pprc reinforced are pipe products made of Poly Propylene Random Copolymer. This material is a static random copolymer, which is produced by adding to the network of polypropylene molecules an ethylene molecule. This material belongs to the category of polyolefins, which are highly ecological.

The pipe products of the random copolymer, in addition to the long name, are distinguished by a rather large number of positive characteristics.

  • Possess low thermal conductivity.
  • Have a high coefficient of resistance to various chemicals.
  • This type of product is not exposed to processes such as corrosion and rust.
  • Characterized by high sound insulation.
  • During the operation of the pprc pipe, there is no formation of sedimentary materials, such as saline or calcareous, on the inner surface of the material.
  • Possess high impact strength.
  • This type of material has high resistance to repeated bends, after which it leaves the integrity of the skin and the primary mechanical properties.
  • When exposed to high temperatures, polypropylene products are not deformed and remain the same shape.
  • As mentioned above, this type of pipe fittings has high environmental compatibility. This is manifested in the fact that after the end of their service life and subsequent disposal they do not emit toxic substances that can harm the person and nature as a whole.
  • With their proper installation and operation, they have a long service life.

Polypropylene PPRC pipes reinforced: specificity of reinforcement

Reinforced tubular products pprc are pipes made of polypropylene water supply in the construction of which, in addition to the starting material, there is a thin additional layer of aluminum or fiberglass. This type of pipe fittings can be used in cold or hot water supply systems, as well as for other pipe communications, the chemical composition of which does not damage polypropylene. This type of pipe materials can also be used in fire extinguishing systems. So, more details about the types of reinforcement of pipe fittings pprc and their features:

Reinforcement with a layer of aluminum foil. The metal layer can be located inside or outside the product. This treatment gives the pipe additional properties, which are manifested in increasing its strength and resistance to temperatures.

Reinforcement with fiberglass gives the pipe materials strength and increases resistance to mechanical stress. This kind of reinforcement excludes the formation of stratification of the structure of the skin of the tubular product, which can occur in the case of reinforcement with aluminum.

Polypropylene PPRC pipes reinforced: mounting methods

The installation of pipe communication from polypropylene is comparatively easy compared to a similar process in the case of steel or copper pipes. To work with this type of material will require specific tools. Firstly, it is a special welding machine for soldering pipe parts to each other. This device is a tool with holes for mounting materials. During the work, the necessary pieces of pipe are placed in these holes, and after heating, they are connected together by means of specialized fittings.

Special cutters and cutters for polypropylene pipes are used for cutting pipe fittings on required parts. With the help of these tools, the pipes are easily divided into the necessary pieces. The system is easily attached to virtually any surface with any holders that are attached with screws or glue.

Thus, the article described all the main characteristics of a pipe from the static random copolymer( pprc), as well as their advantages over metallic ones. They were also characterized and shown their typological features and specificity of installation.
