Common Municipal Piping Materials

Municipal pipings, as one of the important components of urban infrastructure, can promptly clear rainwater from urban surfaces, provide industrial and domestic water for cities, and also prevent urban water resources from being polluted. Having sufficient strength and a certain degree of rigidity, a smooth inner wall surface to reduce water flow resistance, certain corrosion resistance, adequate sealing, economic efficiency, and ease of processing are some of the basic requirements for municipal piping materials. Let's take a look at some common municipal piping materials.

HDPE Drainage Pipe

Scope of Application

HDPE is a high-crystallinity, non-polar thermoplastic resin. The appearance of pure HDPE is milky white and somewhat translucent in thin sections. In municipal piping systems, plastic pipes are gradually replacing cast iron pipes and galvanized steel pipes, becoming the mainstream piping materials.

Advantages

Compared to traditional piping materials, plastic pipes have significant advantages such as being lightweight, corrosion-resistant, having low water flow resistance, saving energy, being easy and quick to install, and having lower costs, which has made them favored by the pipeline engineering community.

HDPE Double-Wall Corrugated Sewer Pipe

Scope of Application

HDPE double-wall corrugated sewer pipe uses high-density polyethylene (HDPE) as the main material. It is produced through a dual-extrusion molding process, resulting in pipe materials with an outer wall of ring-shaped corrugations and a smooth inner wall. It is widely used in municipal piping systems for sewage and drainage applications.

Advantages

HDPE double-wall corrugated sewer pipes have advantages such as good flexibility, lightweight, strong pressure resistance, corrosion resistance, aging resistance, and long service life.

Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic Mortar Pipe(RMPM)

Scope of Application

As a medium and large diameter water supply and drainage pipe material, and when used as a municipal piping in corrosive soil, it has broad prospects.

Advantages

Compared with other materials, fiberglass reinforced plastic mortar pipes, as a new type of composite pipe, have characteristics such as safety, durability, economic efficiency, and good comprehensive benefits, which have won people's attention.
