Step 1: Choose Material
I won’t talk about the history of floor heating pipes. Now the mainstream materials of floor heating pipes on the market are mainly PEX and PERT. PERT pipe is heat-resistant polyethylene, and PEX pipe is cross-linked polyethylene. From the material itself, these two pipes have certain commonalities, but they have completely different characteristics in molecular structure.
PERT: light weight, easy to bend, corrosion resistance, low price, long service life, good flexibility, solubility, small friction coefficient, small fluid resistance, small head loss, and the minimum turning radius can reach 5 times the pipe diameter.
PEX is divided into three categories: PEX-B (silane agent crosslinking in polyethylene), PEX-A (peroxide crosslinking in polyethylene), PEX-C (physical crosslinking by irradiation crosslinking) , these three types of products improve the performance of polyethylene in terms of tensile strength, heat resistance, aging resistance, stress crack resistance and dimensional stability through physical cross-linking and chemical cross-linking. Therefore, the structure is not soluble, and the connection method can only use sliding tight fittings. It has the same performance as PERT, but some performance has been improved, and the price is higher than PERT.
Step 2: Appearance Comparison
For the products of regular manufacturers, the relevant general indicators must be qualified, because industrial products have corresponding product qualification parameters, you don’t have to worry about this, and you can’t identify it as a user. We can see it through the appearance, such as smoothness and flexibility. , Thickness, these can be compared on the spot. The pipes of regular manufacturers are marked with corresponding parameters such as meter number, standard, material, pipe diameter, origin, etc., so pay attention to it.
STEP 3: Choose a color
In fact, the color of the floor heating pipe has no direct impact on the performance of the floor heating pipe, and it has nothing to do with the function. This is just a differentiated way developed by the manufacturer to cater to the market. There is no need to tangle, choose at will, and white with higher transparency is ideal. choose.
IFAN provides floor heating pipes in various colors, sizes and materials, welcome to buy.
