Which Is Better, Stainless Steel Pipe Or PPR Plastic Pipe?

Water is an indispensable source in our life, and a water pipe is a drinking water conveyor that carries healthy water. Water pipes can be said to carry the life and health of the whole family. Many people will ask which is better stainless steel water pipe or PPR plastic pipe? When the water pipe is in use, it is difficult for us to notice the change of the pipe, so we do not know whether there is a problem with the pipe.

Most of the water pipes on the market are plastic pipes. Although there is no need to worry about the durability of the pipeline, there are hidden dangers in terms of health and safety, and there are obvious aging phenomena at the joints of the pipe fittings. Due to the contact with the metal fixing material, the rust has corroded into the pipe, and a large area of rust spots appears, and the water flow in the pipe transports the rust water to the faucet.

On the inner wall of the pipe, ginger sediment surrounds the inner wall of the pipe. You can feel a stickiness when you touch it with your fingers. Such a color of water wraps the entire inner wall of the pipe.

In fact, for plastic pipes, due to their insufficient chemical stability, the above phenomenon is easy to occur in long-term use, especially in some areas with poor water quality, bacteria and impurities grown on the inner wall of the pipe will precipitate a lot, which is harmful to drinking water. Water quality causes secondary pollution. Therefore, under the call of the trend of consumption upgrading and the policy of healthy people's livelihood, my country has ushered in a new round of water pipe upgrading boom, and stainless steel pipes that are in line with international standards have become the pipes recommended by governments at all levels. Governments at all levels have issued calls to use stainless steel pipes for drinking water pipes

The service life of plastic pipes in my country is difficult to determine, which largely depends on the production process and the quality of raw materials. The quality is uneven, there is no external force, and the service life of the plastic pipe can reach 30 years. But the water pipe laying direction needs to use hot melt connection. The physical structure of the joint is damaged due to the influence of the hot melt adhesive. That's why almost everyone around us has experienced a leaking water pipe.

The service life of damaged water pipes is greatly shortened, and more can only be used for 15-20 years, while the right to use the house is 70 years. Therefore, the pipes must be replaced, destroying all decorations at least 2-3 times. Stainless steel water pipes can reach the "same age as the building", that is to say, as long as the building's service life, stainless steel water pipes can be used, which means that the average service life of stainless steel pipes exceeds the service life of the house. So from this point of view, stainless steel pipes are cheaper than plastic pipes.

From the perspective of cost performance, although the price of stainless steel pipes is very expensive on the surface, those who can calculate the cost can calculate that the service life of stainless steel pipes is 100 years. If the service life of the stainless steel pipe is calculated as 100 years, the stainless steel pipe does not need lifetime maintenance. More than 1000 yuan or 2000 yuan, is it worth it?

The aging problem of plastic pipes is more prominent. Sunlight, temperature, chemicals, mechanical factors and time can all cause it to age. Aging plastic is easy to explode under the impact of water pressure and water hammer, and its service life is greatly reduced. In addition, hot melt connections are prone to water leakage or material deterioration.

Stainless steel pipe, food grade 304 pipe material, will not leak and release harmful substances. The inner wall of the stainless steel tube is smooth, which can increase the water flow, enough for daily use and almost zero maintenance for life.
