Which plastic is suitable for pure water pipes and storage containers?
Thread Content
What type of plastic is suitable for tanks and pipes used in the storage and transportation of pure water? Which is the best choice among PPR, PP, and PVC? Are there any other materials recommended?
I’ve seen ones that use PVC, with a conductivity of 0.1 u/ms. We could run an experiment: find a PVC pipe, a PP pipe, and a PPR pipe, clean them thoroughly, store them, and then measure their conductivity; conducting analytical tests on them would also be possible.
PE pipes are used for water transportation in buried installations
There is more PPR and PVC, while there is less PP
I think either one will work, but temperature is the main factor to consider; PP seems to be less resistant to low temperatures
