Pipe/Piping Materials
- Carbon Steel: Common for high-pressure & high-temp systems.
- Stainless Steel: Corrosion-resistant; used in food, pharma, chemical.
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Low-cost; ideal for water & corrosive fluids.
- CPVC (Chlorinated PVC): Higher temp resistance than PVC.
- HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene): Flexible, corrosion-proof; used in water/gas lines.
- Copper: Used in plumbing, HVAC due to thermal conductivity.
- Ductile Iron: Strong, impact-resistant; used in water/sewer mains.
- Galvanized Steel: Zinc-coated; resists rust; common in older plumbing.
- Brass: Corrosion-resistant; used in fittings and valves.
- Fiberglass (FRP): Lightweight, chemically inert; used in aggressive environments.
Select based on: Pressure, temperature, fluid type, environment, cost.
