water pipe development
Around the 1980s, plastic pipes began to be widely used. One of the first to be used was rigid UPVC pipe, but its use was limited due to its excessive rigidity and lack of space to withstand extrusion and stretching.
Next, PE (polyethylene) pipe became a major alternative pipe. It has good toughness and flexibility, is highly resistant to corrosion, and is inexpensive. However, there are limitations in transport, connection, and construction.
At the beginning of the 21st century, plastic PPR pipes became the mainstream of building water supply pipes.PPR pipes are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, not easy to scale, and have a long service life, but there are also shortcomings in the use of not being able to resist too high a temperature and pressure.
