From structural steel bases to pipe fabrication, manufacturing of piping systems has been highly hyped. Be it for water treatment, power generation, petrochemical, industrial, environmental, or pharmaceutical industry, different type of pipes are available in market for each of these industries. And similarly, there are different sort of fitting processes for each pipe with varying accessories like clevis hangers, sprinkler hangers, slotted channel, and much more. Let’s have a look at different types of pipe and its characteristics:

PVC Pipe:
Polyvinyl Chloride is a common replacement of metal piping due to its strength,durability and easy installation. It is easily characterized as white plastic pipe and often comes in different diameters possessing high resistance against rust or wearing.

Black Pipe:
It is one of the widely used pipes along with galvanized pipe. Also known as steel pipes, these pipes could carry water and gas resisting extreme pressure from inside and outside environment. When compared to various plastic pipes, the black pipes generally tend to show good results in toughest condition as well.

Copper Pipe:
Used in construction sites for water supply and HAVC systems copper pipes are excellent corrosion resistant.These pipes are highly reliable and suitable of handling any internal or external fluid pressure.

Galvanized Pipe:
Dipped in protective zinc coating, galvanized pipes are steel pipes highly known for their corrosion and rust resistance capacity. They are generally installed in homes for water supply lines and are considered safe as compared to other pipes as they don’t create potential health concerns which other corrosive and acidic material pipes does.

CPVC Pipe:
Chlorinated Polyvinyl chloride pipe is highly durable and due to this it is mostly used in plumbing as a replacement of metal and copper material.It is also used at construction sites as it outpaces the ordinary polyvinyl materials.

Polyethylene Pipe:
A flexible pipe constructed to make piping configurations easy which is otherwise difficult for metal pipes. The polyethylene pipes are made up of petroleum by-products and act as moisture barriers on construction sites.  These pipes are paired with clevis hangers for a flexible use during installation.
