PE water supply pipe material is a kind of light weight, corrosion resistance, high temperature, non-toxic, new type of long-life pipe, so it is widely used in various fields.


But many people don't know much about pe water supply pipes, so let's take a closer look today. What is the difference between PE water supply pipes and ordinary water pipes?




01


Longer service life


Compared with commonly used pipes such as cement pipes, PE water supply pipes have different service lives.Ordinary water pipes, such as iron water pipes, are relatively easy to rust, and they will produce contaminated chemicals if they are not used for a long time.The pe water supply pipe is a plastic pipe, which not only does not rust, but also has a relatively long service time.




02


PE pipe is safer


The service life of traditional ordinary water pipes is about three or four years.It can easily cause sewage leakage and groundwater pollution.Part of the groundwater seeps into the sewage pipeline, reducing the concentration of sewage.However, because the pe water supply pipe is made of high-density polyethylene, it is not easy to break, so it will not leak and will not cause any pollution to water resources.




03


PE pipe is more high temperature resistant


After the leakage of traditional ordinary water pipes, the soil near the water pipe network can easily be washed away, causing the foundation of the building to loosen and even the ground to settle, and the use of cast iron pipes is also prone to scale and rust inside.However, these problems do not exist in pe water supply pipes.It can even work normally when the temperature exceeds the boiling point, which is much better than other pipes.




PE water supply pipe VS plastic pipe


In the comparison between pe water supply pipes and plastic pipes, we can see that generally, plastic pipes will become more brittle when they are colder, which means that if they encounter a certain external force at this time, it will easily break. .In this way, there is no guarantee in terms of service life. Although the price is relatively cheap compared to pe water supply pipes, the cost of maintenance and replacement is very high.




PE water supply pipe VS steel pipe


Of course, steel pipes have very strong structural stability when they are in use, and they are also very high in strength.It is also due to the properties of the steel itself, so it is easy to freeze when used, which greatly affects the applicable situation.At the same time, steel is also more expensive than pe water supply pipes in terms of production costs.Therefore, in use, due to the total cost-performance ratio of these properties, generally speaking, the use of pe water supply pipes is the most frequent.
