Drainage pipes usually refer to facilities used to collect and discharge sewage, rainwater, and wastewater. So what are the classifications of drainage pipes according to their materials? There are many choices of materials for drainage pipes, each of which has its own unique advantages and disadvantages and is suitable for different use environments and needs. The following are some common drainage pipe materials and their characteristics:

Drainage pipe material
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe: PVC pipe is one of the most widely used plastic pipes and is favored for its corrosion resistance, lightweight, low cost, and smooth inner wall (reduced deposition). However, PVC pipes are easily deformed at high temperatures, and their environmental friendliness is questioned.
Polyethylene (PE) pipe : PE pipe is a special polyethylene as raw material, an extrusion product. Safe to use, low leakage rate, with good corrosion resistance; Long service life, lightweight, high strength, good toughness, convenient construction, wide application, large social benefits.
The installation process is simple and easy to operate
There are two kinds of PE pipeline connection, one is the electric fusion connection, generally applicable to pipe diameter less than De110; The second is the hot melt connection, which is generally suitable for pipe diameter not less than De110, and no sleeve fitting is required in the docking. The above two connection operation methods can be mastered in a short period of training, the welding quality can also be guaranteed, and the construction progress is fast.

Steel pipe: Steel pipes are used because of their high strength and wide range of applications, especially in places where they need to withstand high pressure and are suitable for heavy industrial occasions. However, steel pipes are prone to corrosion, require regular maintenance, and are heavy, which increases the difficulty of transportation and installation.
Cement pipe: Cement pipes are mainly used for the discharge of urban sewage and rainwater, and are favored for their fire resistance and strong pressure bearing capacity. However, they are heavy, difficult to construct, and easy to crack due to strong earthquakes or impacts.
Silicate cement pipe: Silicate cement pipes have better corrosion resistance and durability and are suitable for harsh environments. Its advantages include excellent corrosion resistance and durability.
PPR pipe: PPR pipe is favored because it does not produce toxic substances, has stable quality and long service life, and is suitable for cold water pipes and hot water pipes.
Copper pipe: Copper pipe is suitable for hot water pipes because it is not easy to corrode and has good thermal conductivity.
Aluminum-plastic pipe: Aluminum-plastic pipe is made of aluminum-plastic composite, has good corrosion resistance and high-temperature resistance, and is suitable for various drainage systems. 2.
Choosing a suitable drainage pipe material requires considering many factors, including the use environment, corrosion resistance, pressure bearing capacity, cost, construction difficulty, and environmental protection requirements. Each material has its specific application scenario, so the correct choice of material is crucial to ensure the long-term stable operation of the drainage system.
