This model specification applies to polypropylene (PP) pressure pipe material types PP-R & PP-RCT and provides the material requirements, handling, storage, joining, and installation of polypropylene pressure pipe, fittings, and valves to be used for hot- and cold-water plumbing distribution, chilled water, cooling/condenser water,

Dec 20, 2024 · PPR pipes are used because of their ability to handle high pressure and temperature, resist chemical and corrosion damage. Moreover, they offer long-lasting performance in plumbing and heating systems.

Choosing the right size and type of PPR pipe involves careful consideration of factors like application requirements, flow rate, pressure ratings, temperature tolerance, and layout complexities.

Apr 6, 2023 · PPR pipes (Polypropylene Random Copolymer pipes) are a type of plastic pipe made from a blend of polypropylene and ethylene copolymers. PPR is a high-technology plastic pipe, which is modern plumbing’s important solution when matched to cold galvanized pipes for all hot water systems.

Polypropylene (PP) is a versatile piping material that is used in a wide range of applications. Two types of PP are used for pressure piping systems: PP-R (polypropylene random copolymer) and PP-RCT (polypropylene random copolymer with modified crystallinity and …

rely on a PPR pipe and fitting system that can fulfil saving requirements in terms of piping insulation, heat transmission, installation times and head loss. Thanks to the PPR PIPING SYSTEM by NUPIGECO, com-mercial buildings can lower installation costs by up to 20%.

Feb 7, 2025 · PPR (random copolymerized polypropylene) pipe is a new type of environmentally friendly plastic pipe, with its high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, long life (more than 50 years) and other characteristics, widely used in construction of hot and cold water systems, HVAC engineering and industrial fluid transportation field.

The BCD Plastic Pipe Design Calculator is a software tool that aids in designing plastic pressure pipe and tubing systems such as PP-R and PP-RCT; The Calculator includes five main functions: Pressure/Head Loss; Pipe Weight/Volume; Thermal Expansion/Contraction; Hydraulic Shock; Expansion Arm/Loop; Access the BCD Calculator at this link
