Transporting gases, liquids, etc. in cities requires the use of pipelines, and when transporting liquids, water supply pipes are needed, which greatly facilitates our lives.
Let's take a look at the classification of water supply pipes below:
Water supply pipes are divided into metal pipes, composite pipes, and plastic pipes. Metal pipes are mainly divided into copper pipes and stainless steel pipes. Metal pipes have many characteristics such as safety, hygiene, and durability, and are ideal water pipes for home decoration fixtures.
The typical representative of composite pipes is aluminum-plastic pipes, but due to their thermal expansion and contraction problems, they have gradually been phased out.
The most commonly used plastic pipe is PPR water pipe, which is safe, non-toxic, easy to install, and inexpensive, making it the most commonly used water pipe for home decoration. However, due to environmental hormones and other issues, more and more people are starting to use metal pipes or PPR lined metal pipes as water supply pipelines.
The performance indicators of water supply pipes are relatively strict, especially when used for drinking water. The pipes need to be non-toxic, non radiative, free of harmful substances such as heavy metals, have good corrosion resistance, and have a long service life.
