Can PPR pipe replace floor heating pipe? Ppr pipe is divided into cold water pipe and hot water pipe. ppr pipe is resistant to high temperature. Can ppr pipe replace floor heating pipe? Next, IFAN will explain.
1. ppr pipe has the function of thermal expansion and contraction, and the expansion coefficient is small, that is, when the external temperature (such as winter and summer) or internal water temperature (cold water and hot water) changes for a long time, there will be appropriate deformation. Underground heating pipeline is buried underground, and its resistance to external impact is much higher than other pipelines.
2. The ppr pipe is not as flexible as the ground heating pipe, because the ppr pipe is straight and the ground heating pipe is relatively soft, so no special tools are required to bend during the construction. Therefore, the construction cost is relatively low. Because the floor heating pipeline needs to have good thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity of the floor heating pipe is better, and its thermal conductivity is twice that of the ppr pipe, which is very suitable for floor heating.
3. As the floor heating needs to be buried underground, the floor heating pipe is a whole pipe without joints. Ppr pipes are different. This is a kind of pipe. During construction, a hot-melt machine is used to weld the connection between pipes. If the thermal fusion is not good, water leakage will occur and the later maintenance cost will be higher. The floor heating pipeline is strictly pressed before leaving the factory. If there is no man-made damage during construction, there will be no water leakage.
