Polypropylene pipe

Polypropylene pipe belongs to a family of thermoplastic piping systems, and the generic name alone does not identify the material subtype. Homopolymer, block-copolymer, random-copolymer, and pipe-specific classifications can have different behavior and intended uses; the Fittopipe identity does not select one of them. Heat fusion is used in many PP systems, but the procedure and component compatibility must belong to the selected system. Selection should define the exact PP material, pressure and temperature conditions, medium, thermal movement, support, joining method, and governing project specification.

Application and duty

Fluid or building-service systems designed for a defined polypropylene type; material subtype and joining system must be confirmed before purchase.

TECHNICAL REFERENCE

Selection summary

Metallic and non-metallic pipe for process, transmission and utility services

Outside diameter, schedule or wall, manufacturing route, material and grade, length, end preparation and test documentation must follow the project piping class.
