Areas of application for Kalde polypropylene pipes

Video about installation of polypropylene pipes

If the liquid inside the product freezes, occupying the entire volume, it will never rupture, but will only significantly increase in size. After defrosting, the polypropylene pipe fittings will restore their original appearance and will be ready for further use. The surface of the products in contact with water is not subject to corrosive formations, due to which it does not collapse throughout the entire operational period. Deposits do not appear on it, and the internal diameter does not grow under the influence of friction forces, as happens with most cheap polypropylene pipes. Modern calde pipes are characterized by a low heat loss coefficient. If we compare with metal structures, the thermal conductivity of polypropylene structures is on average 20%-30% lower. Thus, when installing heating systems, they can retain internal heat much longer.

The materials used in production do not cause any harm to humans, which is why Kalde fittings can be used in the food industry.

Kalde Product Features

Kalde products are available in diameters from 20mm to 110mm and can be gray or white. At the same time, there are three varieties, each of which has markings that make it easy to determine the scope of use:

1. PPH - used in the installation of ventilation systems and cold water supply systems.
2. PPB – used in heating systems and hot water supply.
3. PPR – can be used in any conditions and at any temperature.

The last two types of Calde pipes have special reinforcement with fiberglass or aluminum. When ordering large quantities, the Turkish company includes free soldering irons with its products, which are necessary for connecting structures.

It should also be noted that the technical indicators are stable, which is manifested in particular in the fact that even after long-term operation, sagging lines do not occur. If you need to install a heating system, the best choice would be polypropylene products with a diameter of 2.5 to 9 centimeters.

But various production pipelines are made using Kalde pipes with a diameter of 11 to 16 centimeters. For example, in the food industry, precisely because of their environmental safety, such products are used very widely.

Methods for installing a system of polypropylene pipes

To connect Kalde polypropylene pipes, special soldering irons are used, which are heated to a temperature of 250-270 degrees. In addition, nozzles of the appropriate diameter are used, with a Teflon coating necessary to prevent plastic sticking.

After heating, the parts are joined to ensure a tight connection. When developing its products, the Turkish company adheres to the principle of producing high-quality and environmentally friendly products in the mid-price category.

Thanks to this, you can hear only favorable reviews about it, and in terms of price/quality ratio it is the most successful choice. The design features of the Calde pipe make it possible to increase the energy efficiency of heating systems for rooms. Also, thanks to the smooth surface, the appearance of build-up and contamination in cold water supply systems is prevented.

The production uses the most modern technologies and latest generation machines, in addition, there is a quality management system that helps ensure high performance indicators. According to the results of last year, Kalde products turned out to be the most popular among consumers from Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

Kalde radiators – reasonable price!

You can buy Kalde heating radiators from RUB 2,100. up to 6 thousand rubles, for example, on the website Tiu.ru (https://tiu.ru/Kalde.html?category=13240104) or in the online store “Pulse Prices” (https://www.pulscen.ru /price/140403-stalnye-radiatory/f:30359_kalde) from 1,900 rub. up to 7,800 rub.

As you can see, the price of radiators on Calda is low and quite affordable for any segment of the Russian population.

And you can buy calde aluminum radiators from 290 rubles. for one section, for example, in the SantTechService online store (https://sanservis-str.ru/news/11-bimetallic-radiators-aluminum-klade.html). There is also a new type of battery - bimetallic calde heating radiators, the price of which starts from 330 rubles. for one piece.

Product classifications

Pipes from Calde for heating, the characteristics of which are very competitive, are adjacent to other types of pipes. There are the following classifications:

By purpose:

• For cold water supply or ventilation duct systems. To do this, you need to buy polypropylene pipes from Kalde marked PPH.
• For hot water. At the same time, Calde prices for heating are relatively low, and the material itself is marked with the letter combination PPB.
• Universal products for any purpose, which are distinguished by the PPR marking.

For the reinforcing layer:

• Aluminum.
• Fiberglass.

The diameter of the product can be as follows:

• 20 mm.
• 25 mm.
• 32 mm.
• 40 mm.
• 50 mm.
• 63 mm.
• 75 mm.
• 90 mm.
• 110 mm.

Nuances of choice

When choosing polypropylene products, be sure to consider the following nuances:

• Compliance of the purpose of products with their future use. For example, you cannot use non-reinforced polypropylene for hot water supply systems - since the product simply will not withstand high temperatures for which it was not originally intended.
• The diameter must match the diameter of other lines in the system, as well as its purpose. For heating, for example, it is better to take a larger diameter, but for water 20 mm is enough.
• A type of reinforcing material, which can be traditional aluminum or practical fiberglass.

Calde polypropylene pipes

The price of Kalde polypropylene pipelines depends on the diameter and type of reinforcing material:

• The price of Kalde polypropylene tubes without a reinforcing layer ranges from 35 to 270 rubles per meter.
• Products reinforced with fiberglass will cost from 52 to 323 rubles per product, depending on the desired diameter.
• Aluminum reinforcement is more expensive: 74-405 rubles.
• Fittings with couplings cost from 25 rubles.

Reviews of Kalde polypropylene tubes should also be considered as another selection factor. There are quite a large number of them on the Internet - since this brand is quite well known.

Pilsa pipes

Pilsa polypropylene pipes, produced in Turkey, differ from other pipes in wear resistance, strength, and elasticity. This is what helps to successfully use them in systems:

• heat supply;
• hot water supply;
• cold water.

When installing PN20 reinforced pipes for heat supply, PN20 for hot water supply, and PN10 for cold water supply, all products will last quite a long time, and for several years you will not be bothered by any problems associated with their operation. It is only necessary to follow all the manufacturer’s recommendations when installing them. So, for example, Pils pipes do not need to be walled up, and the boiler must be installed in a controlled manner so that it does not produce pressure in the system of more than 95 degrees.

Polyethylene pipes, made in China

Blue Ocean

A subsidiary of the UK company Blue Ocean International Industrial Group, which is Qingdao Blue Ocean New High Technology Co., Ltd, produces good quality polypropylene fittings and pipes.

According to buyers, these pipes are soldered perfectly. Soldering iron tips are somewhat different in that they are rounded on the inner tip, which allows for better fusion of PP layers over the aluminum layer. The only disadvantage of Blue Ocean pipes is the error of the pipes themselves in the outer diameter, which is somewhat dancing. Chinese Blue Ocean pipes connect with joints without problems. If Ekoplastic is compared with these pipes, then they lose, since they melt somewhat worse. In the reviews, installers note that they are a little difficult to insert into the soldering iron, and the red line is not drawn accurately, almost in a spiral, so it is not possible to solder exactly along it - only by eye.

Features and Benefits

Pipe design

Calde pipes have a number of advantages due to their characteristics. This type of reinforcement includes a special block material - polypropylene, which is marked with special letters PP.

Thanks to this composition, Kalde polypropylene pipes have the following characteristic features:

• They are neutral to all chemicals, so they will not enter into various reactions with components of other elements;
• They show high resistance to different temperatures, and also tolerate various temperature fluctuations quite calmly;
• They have amazing mechanical properties;
• High antistatic properties are observed.

Due to the excellent properties of the material from which the pipes are made, they are widely used in sewerage systems installed on the street, as they can easily withstand pressure and temperature changes. They are also popular in heating systems because they will not deteriorate when hot water flows through them.

There are situations in which the liquid inside this fitting may freeze. In this case, the pipe does not rupture, it only becomes larger in size. But when the water thaws, it is restored to its previous size and continues its normal operation. Therefore, when using them, the percentage of pipeline accidents is significantly reduced.

The outer layer of this pipe is not subject to corrosion, so during its use there is no destruction of it, which allows it to be used for quite a long time. The internal diameter does not change when exposed to various substances that may be contained in the flowing liquid. Also, no deposits were ever noticed inside it.

Pros of foam blocks

They have another, most important advantage - a fairly low heat loss coefficient. For metal pipes it is much higher, about 20-30 percent. From this we can conclude that when installing a heating system from Calde pipes, even in a room of 150 square meters. m will be much warmer.

The material does not pose any danger to humans; in some cases, this type of pipe is used in the food industry.

People who have encountered this product leave reviews, in which Calde pipes have only positive ratings.

Features and scope of application

Plastic pipes from Kalde have the following features:
