PPRCT FR Composite Piping comparison

PPRCT vs PPR pipe for industrial water

Plain PPR and PPRC were developed for household plumbing. For industrial cooling, chilled and hot water, PPRCT gives a stronger material, a bigger bore and an outdoor-rated skin.

Parameter	PPRCT FR Composite Piping	PPR pipe
MRS at 20 °C, 50 years	12.5 MPa	10 MPa
Design stress	4.3 MPa	2.13 MPa
CRS at 70 °C, 50 years	5.93 MPa	3.2–3.6 MPa
Bore at 110 mm, PN 10	95 mm (11% more flow area)	90 mm
Thermal expansion	0.035 mm/m·K	About 0.15 mm/m·K
Direct sunlight	10–20 years, carbon UV layer	2–3 years; not permitted unprotected
Large-bore jointing	Electrofusion 200–630 mm, no bead	Butt fusion with internal bead

What it means on your plant

Stronger when hot
Nearly double the creep strength at 70 °C for condensate and hot-water lines.
More bore
A thinner wall at the same pressure class means 9 to 26% more flow area across the range.
Stays straight
A quarter of the thermal expansion, so fewer loops and supports.
