Can the PPR pipe iron iron iron PE pipe?

In pipeline construction, various connection problems are often encountered, among which "whether the PPR pipe ironing machine can iron the PE pipe" is a topic of much concern. Some construction workers may think that they are all plastic pipes, and hot melt tools may be universal, but the truth is not the case.

PPR pipe and PE pipe are both plastic pipes, but their material characteristics and hot melt requirements are significantly different. The main component of PPR pipe is random copolymer polypropylene, and its hot melt temperature is usually around 260 ° C. The main component of PE pipe is polyethylene. According to the density and other models, its hot melt temperature is generally between 180 ° C and 220 ° C.

PPR pipe ironing machine is specially designed for PPR pipe, and its default hot melt temperature is set according to the characteristics of PPR pipe. If you use a PPR pipe iron to iron the PE pipe, because the temperature of the PPR pipe iron is much higher than the hot melt temperature required for the PE pipe, it will cause the PE pipe to be overheated. Overheated PE pipe will have problems such as excessive melting, thinning of the pipe wall, and even carbonization, which will not only destroy the structural strength of the pipe, but also affect the sealing of the connection, which can easily cause safety hazards such as water leakage in later use.

On the contrary, if you use a hot melt machine for PE pipe to iron the PPR pipe, due to insufficient temperature, the PPR pipe cannot reach the ideal molten state, which will also lead to weak connection. Therefore, the hot melt connection of PPR pipe and PE pipe must use their own special hot melt tools, and strictly follow their specified hot melt temperature and operation procedures.

In order to ensure the safety and reliability of the pipeline system, we must pay attention to the correct selection and use of construction tools. When purchasing and using a hot melt machine, pay attention to distinguish between PPR and PE special models, and choose the matching die according to the pipe specifications. Professional brands like AD Pipeline usually have detailed construction guidelines attached to their products. It is recommended that construction personnel read it carefully before operation, or consult professional technicians to ensure that each connection point meets the standards and ensures the long-term stable operation of the entire pipeline system.

In short, PPR pipe ironing machines cannot be used to iron PE pipes. The required hot melt temperature varies greatly due to different materials, and mixed tools will seriously affect the connection quality. Choose the right tools and follow the standardized construction steps to create a safe and durable pipeline system.
