Welded Joints of Polypropylene Pipe Fittings

Polypropylene pipes and fittings are joined together by thermal technologies. Thermal welding creates an almost monolithic connection, creating an inseparable integrity of the entire structure. 

The entire process of welding or soldering takes few seconds. Metal pipes are connected without any welding, using a press-fitting or with compression fittings. In the first case you need a special tool to press fittings, compression fittings for a simple wrench and brute strength of a man, but the connection in both cases is far from monolithic . 

It is impossible not to note some advantages of plastic, such as resistance to higher temperatures the liquid permeable to +110 ° C, making them simply irreplaceable in some cases, while polypropylene, designed for short-term temperatures up to +95 ° S. Based on the above, it is safe to say, if the technical conditions of operation do not involve high thermal loads, polypropylene pipes whose price is much lower than would be preferred. Plastic Valves are also manufactured using the same strategy.
