Polypropylene pipes reinforced with fiberglass for heating

advantages of use in heating systems polypropylene

Consider the advantages possessed by the pipeline, made of polypropylene when compared with systems made of other materials:

• Reduction to the minimum of heat loss due to high levels of thermal conductivity.
• Relatively high cost of materials.
• The simplicity and reliability of welding the connecting material, as well as the ease of working with them during installation and repair.

When using polypropylene materials for heating systems need to understand right away that a simple polypropylene pipe, having undergone high temperature can distort or change its size.

therefore necessary to use reinforced polypropylene pipes for heating, rather than the usual polypropylene conduit.

Species reinforced polypropylene pipes

manufacturing reinforced pipes divides them into five main varieties.To understand what is better to use polypropylene pipes for heating, consider types:

• Polypropylene systems, which are reinforced with solid aluminum sheet.Actually, the material is a solid sheet of aluminum, which is applied to the outer surface of the polypropylene conduit.When mounting the system with this method, reinforcement active layer is cut at a distance of 1 mm from the edge.
• Pipelines reinforced aluminum sheet.Aluminum sheet produces a gain in the middle or near the inner diameter, seen in cross section cut.This type of pipe during installation does not require prior training.
• With reinforcement perforated aluminum sheet.reinforcement process takes place on the outer surface of the polypropylene perforated aluminum sheet.When installing these materials must be cut 1 mm reinforcement material.
• polypropylene pipes with composite reinforcement.This method is based on increasing the system through a polypropylene composite material, fiberglass and mixtures of polypropylene (PP - composite material (a blend of polypropylene with glass fiber) - PP).
• Reinforcement of polypropylene pipes with fiberglass.Pipeline type in which external and internal surface made of polypropylene with an inner layer of glass fiber, when mounting this type of pipe does not require pretreatment.

What reinforced polypropylene pipes to stop choice?

trubovoda When used with an external reinforcement pre-treatment is a drawback, since it is necessary labor and material.Therefore, the use of polypropylene pipes for heating glass-reinforced, is optimal.Since no extra labor in the form of pre-treatment is also not insignificant factor that is the maximum strength values ​​that are associated with minimal exposure to the linear expansion rates.

The pictures show the consequences of neglect in the selection and installation of the heating pipes, which are not suitable for these purposes.
