Here's the Difference in the Use of PVC Pipes vs Iron Pipes

In the world of construction and installation, pipes are important components for distributing water, gas, or drainage channels. The two most commonly used types of pipes are PVC pipes and iron pipes. Although both have the main function as channels, they have different characteristics and uses. The following is an explanation of the differences in the uses of PVC pipes and iron pipes:

1. Uses of PVC Pipes
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes are known as lightweight and easy-to-install plastic pipes.
Its uses include:

• Clean Water and Dirty Water Installations
  PVC pipes are widely used for clean water channels, wastewater, and household and commercial building drainage systems.
• Irrigation Channels
  Because they are resistant to water and corrosion, PVC pipes are also used for agricultural and plantation irrigation.
• Underground Electrical Installations
  In addition to water, PVC pipes are used as protection for underground electrical cables, because they do not conduct electricity and are resistant to moisture.
• Ventilation Channels
  In some buildings, PVC pipes are also used for air ventilation lines.

2. Uses of Iron Pipes
Iron pipes have much higher strength and are generally used for installations that require high load and pressure resistance.

Some of the uses of iron pipes include:

• High Pressure Water Pipes
  Iron pipes are commonly used in pressurized water installations, such as factories, high-rise buildings, and heavy industry.
• Gas and Chemical Pipes
  Because of their strength, iron pipes are widely used to channel gas, steam, or certain chemicals in industrial installations.
• Building Construction
  In addition to being used as pipelines, iron pipes are also used as structural elements in construction, such as scaffolding poles, canopy frames, and fence construction.
• Firefighting Installations
  In hydrant and sprinkler systems, iron pipes are chosen because they are able to withstand high water pressure and are resistant to extreme temperatures.

Conclusion
PVC pipes are more suitable for light water installations, drainage, irrigation, and electrical cable protection. Meanwhile, iron pipes are used for construction needs, high-pressure installations, gas distribution, and environments with extreme temperatures.
