PE pipe and steel pipe are two completely different types of pipes made of different materials. However, due to their overlapping application fields, it is easy to encounter difficulties in choosing when buying and using pipes. Nevertheless, it is possible to distinguish between them by comparing them, so that we can make better choices when selecting.
The engineering cost of PE pipes currently in use is very low. If the cost of steel pipe engineering is 30000 yuan, then the comprehensive cost of PE pipes is only 10000 yuan, which is one-third of that of steel pipes. Because the price of plastic is lower than that of metal, and the good processability of PE pipes can save material usage.
And PE pipes are lightweight and easy to transport; If steel pipes are used, auxiliary construction tools such as cranes are required to complete the laying process; PE pipe installation is convenient, as long as relevant fasteners are used; The connection of steel pipes requires welding rods, long welding time, high cost, and specialized welding workers.
Everyone needs to understand that the steel pipes sold on the market are generally 6 meters in length, and if long-distance water transmission is required, multiple connections are needed; And the PE pipe with a diameter of 75mm can be coiled with fewer interfaces, saving labor and fittings. In addition, steel pipes are prone to scale formation after running for a period of time, resulting in a decrease in water delivery capacity; PE pipes do not have such concerns, they can effectively transport water from beginning to end, and the water transport capacity is 20% greater than that of steel pipes.
By comparing the advantages of PE pipes and steel pipes, it can also provide some help for your selection, so that the products you choose can be more suitable for your use.
