Advantages Of Plastic Pipes

Till just a decade back, steel and cast iron were among the common materials used for fabricating piping systems around the world. The reasons for this choice were because both steel and cast iron have high strength and last for a long time. In piping system materials, both these aspects are very important, especially the strength factor. This is because for efficient performance, the materials need to be able to withstand high external and internal pressure. Though both steel and cast iron meet this criteria very effectively, there is one very big disadvantage associated with both these materials i.e. they corrode over time and develop leaks.

This is where the Plastic Pipes score a point over other materials like cast iron and steel which were commonly used to fabricate piping systems. Let’s have a look at the different advantages of Plastic Pipes in detail.

Different Advantages Of Plastic Pipes

• As mentioned earlier, one of the biggest benefits of plastic pipes like - PVC & PE Pipes, etc. – is that they do not corrode. Even with special coatings and painting, the cast iron and steel pipes are prone to corrosion while there is no such problem associated with pipes made of plastic.
• Secondly, there is no build-up of minerals on the inside surface of plastic pipes as frequently happens with metal pipes. This build-up obstructs the flow of water and also more of energy is required to push the water through such constricted spaces. So, investing in plastic pipes means less energy needed to convey water from one location to another & subsequently lower costs.
• Thirdly, the cost difference between plastic pipes and metal pipes is considerable. Plastic pipes are much cheaper. Also, the installation costs associated with laying plastic pipes are also quite less. Pipes made of plastic are also lightweight which makes them easy to install and repair as well.
