A type of multilayer pipe, typically polymer pipes combining the advantages of different materials to enhance performance and durability.
Pipe Components
-
Inner and outer layers of Random Polypropylene (PPR): The primary material provides resistance to chemical corrosion, rust, and can withstand high and low temperatures. It is safe for potable water transport.
-
Fiberglass layer: Acts as a support or reinforcement layer within the pipe structure, providing additional strength, reducing thermal expansion, and increasing pressure resistance.
-
Polyethylene (PE) protective layer: The outer layer is often made of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) or another type of polyethylene, providing extra protection against external factors and mechanical damage, especially for underground or harsh environment installations.
-
Features and Advantages
-
High corrosion resistance: Not affected by acidic or alkaline substances (pH 1–14).
-
Long service life: Designed for long-term use, with a manufacturer’s warranty of up to 30 years.
-
Lightweight and easy to install: Despite its multiple layers, it is lighter than metal pipes.
-
Heat resistance: Suitable for hot and cold water systems, with continuous operating temperatures up to 70°C and peak temperatures up to 100°C.
-
Reduces thermal expansion: The fiberglass layer significantly reduces pipe expansion and contraction under temperature changes compared to conventional PPR pipes.
-
Applications
-
Hot and cold potable water networks in residential and commercial buildings.
-
Central heating systems and radiators.
-
Industrial applications and chemical transport.
-
Plumbing systems in factories and large facilities.
Al Koblan KTP pipes are well-known and widely used products in Saudi Arabia and the region.
