1. Rapid Assembly: Socket Fusion Fittings utilize a hot-melt socket welding process. Welding is completed simply by inserting the pipe into the sleeve and heating for tens of seconds. The overall operation time is significantly shorter than the minutes or even hours required for traditional arc or gas welding. 2. Low O...

Conventional plastic piping (such as PPR and PVC) can be used stably for a long time below 90℃, but softening or even failure will...
View More1. Determine the Media Characteristics First, determine whether the medium being transported by the plastic pipe is water, oil, chemical solvents, or gas. Select materials based on its corrosiveness, viscosity, and temperature range. PPR is suitable for hot water, PVC for acid and alkali media, and PE-RT for low-temper...
View MoreWhat are Foot Valves β-PPH?
1. Basic Concept: Foot valves are self-priming valves installed at the bottom of pipelines, utilizing gravity, and are commonly used for automatic liquid discharge or backflow control. β-PPH is a β-modified homopolymer polypropylene (PPH) material with a uniform and fine crystalline structure, maintaining stability in high-temperature (up to 100℃) and highly corrosive environments.
2. Material Advantages: β-PPH combines the lightweight and chemical resistance of polypropylene with the high hardness and wear resistance resulting from β modification, making the foot valve body less prone to aging and cracking during long-term use.
3. Application Scenarios: Foot valves are widely used in pipeline systems in industries such as chemical, semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and wastewater treatment, and are especially suitable for conveying media requiring high reliability and long service life.
How durable are Foot Valves β-PPH in corrosive media such as those found in chemical, pharmaceutical, and wastewater treatment applications?
1. Chemical Media: The homopolymer structure of β-PPH makes it chemically inert in strong acid and alkali environments, resisting common corrosive solvents and resulting in a significantly longer service life than ordinary PP valve bodies.
2. Pharmaceutical Industry: Pharmaceutical production has extremely high requirements for cleanliness and material safety. The non-toxic and odorless properties of β-PPH meet GMP standards and do not produce harmful degradation products during high-temperature sterilization, ensuring long-term reliable valve operation.
3. Wastewater Treatment: Wastewater often contains corrosive salts and microorganisms. The corrosion resistance and aging resistance of β-PPH allow foot valves to maintain their sealing performance even after thousands of hours of continuous operation, greatly reducing maintenance frequency.
4. Overall Performance: In actual projects in the above three industries, the mean time between failures (MTBF) of Foot Valves β-PPH can reach more than 5 years, far exceeding the service life of traditional metal valves or ordinary plastic valves.
