Look At The Essence Through The Appearance Of PPR Pipe

Mar 23, 2023

As a concealed project, the home improvement waterway is of great importance. At present, there are many brands of water pipes on the market, and the selling points of the products are also full of tricks. Products such as antibacterial and multi-layer composites abound. For most ordinary consumers, they don't know how to choose to buy really good products.
In fact, when we buy products, we need to look at the essence through marketing, what is fundamental, what is secondary, what is icing on the cake, and what is superfluous, you can buy it when you know all of these in your mind You are satisfied with the product. Next, let's talk about the phenomenon and essence of PPR water pipe marketing.

1. About color
The simple color of the water pipe has nothing to do with the quality of the water pipe. The PP-R raw material is actually colorless when it is first produced, that is, it is transparent, and it must be colored by adding color masterbatch. Of course, white water pipes are added with white color masterbatch, and it has nothing to do with whether it is pure or not.

2. About size
The first thing to know is that the diameter of the 4-point tube is small, and the diameter of the 6-point tube is large. The price of the 6-point tube is more expensive than that of the 4-point tube. Is the expensive one necessarily good? It can be said, but it is not very accurate. You have to understand where it is expensive.
The 6-point pipe has a larger diameter than the 4-point pipe, so the manufacturing cost is a little higher, and the actual benefit it brings is that the flow rate of the water pipe is larger. Is the flow rate good? Of course it is.
However, some people use a 6-point pipe at home, but the water meter is a 4-point interface, which loses its meaning. So how to choose? It is a more humanized design method to comprehensively consider the actual water demand that varies from person to person, such as flow rate, economy, and water habits. Whether the flow rate is good or bad has a lot to do with water habits. It is not treated equally, but allocated according to needs. You need to consider every water outlet.

3. Regarding wall thickness
For water pipes with the same outer diameter, the thinner the wall thickness, the inner diameter will indeed be slightly larger, but this is at the expense of thinner wall thickness. What does the wall thickness affect? It is the pressure bearing capacity of the water pipe and the service life of the water pipe. And what is the flow rate of our water pipes based on? As we said above, the flow rate of water pipes mainly depends on the diameter of the pipe. The difference in pipe diameter specifications is generally in the order of millimeters, while the difference in wall thickness is in the next millimeter.

4. About light transmission
Why do we add color masterbatch when we manufacture water pipes, why not make them transparent? This is actually to make the water pipes opaque, so it is necessary to add color masterbatches to the water pipes. Because the light shoots into the water through the water pipe, it will cause algae to grow on the wall of the water pipe, which is not conducive to the use and maintenance of the water pipe.
Then why are some colored water pipes with color masterbatches still transparent? This is because the color masterbatches they use have insufficient covering power. Really good water pipes must be opaque.

5. About raw materials
The difference between a good raw material and a poor raw material is that the poor raw material has a wider melting range and a higher melt flow rate. What problems will this cause? That is, the water pipe starts to melt at a lower temperature during welding, and the material will be thinner and softer after melting. The material that is too thin and soft is actually not conducive to welding, and the welded pipe is easier Something went wrong. Then why does this phenomenon occur with poor raw materials? Simply put, it is because there are too many things mixed in the material. After there are too many things mixed, the initial melting point will generally decrease and the melting range will elongate.
