What is the difference between PE pipe and PVC pipe?

Nov 14,2024

PE pipe threading and PVC pipe threading in a number of aspects there are significant differences, these differences are mainly reflected in the material properties, applicable environment and application scenarios.
1. Material performance:
PE pipe is made of polyethylene (PE) material, has excellent cold resistance, can be used in -40 ℃ temperature, and toughness is very strong, but the relative lack of rigidity. In addition, PE threading pipe also has good corrosion resistance, pressure resistance and abrasion resistance, smooth surface, small friction coefficient.
PVC threading pipe is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material, which has excellent insulating properties, but is poor in cold resistance, easy to become brittle at low temperatures.PVC threading pipe has poor toughness, but strong rigidity, which ensures that the pipe is straight and beautiful.
2. Applicable environment:
PE threading pipe because of its excellent cold resistance and impact resistance, more suitable for some of the cold resistance and impact resistance have higher requirements of the place, such as industry, municipal, underground engineering and other fields.
PVC cable duct is more suitable for use in residential line laying, as well as commercial and light industrial applications due to its good insulating properties and stiffness.
3. Application Scenario:
PE cable conduit is widely used in electric power engineering to protect cable lines, reduce the damage of external factors on the cable, and improve the reliability and safety of power transmission lines.
PVC threading pipe is easy to install and maintain, and the cost is relatively low, in the residential decoration, indoor electrical wiring and other aspects of the laying of a wide range of applications.
To summarize, PE and PVC cable conduits have their own characteristics in terms of material performance, applicable environment and application scenarios, which need to be considered according to the specific needs of the selection.
