Description
The PPh Pipe Class C - 9 Bar is a robust polypropylene pressure pipe designed for industrial systems that demand higher working pressures alongside excellent chemical resistance. Manufactured from high heat-stabilised polypropylene block copolymer, this pipe delivers reliable performance across a wide temperature range while maintaining strength, toughness and long service life.
Produced in accordance with BS 4991 : 1974, Class C polypropylene pipe is commonly selected where pressure requirements exceed those of lower-rated classes, without moving to heavier or more costly materials. The smooth internal bore supports efficient flow characteristics, helping to reduce pressure losses and improve overall system efficiency.
Thanks to the inherent ductility of polypropylene, the pipe can tolerate minor mechanical stress and movement without cracking, making it suitable for complex industrial installations. As with all polypropylene pressure pipework, it must not be used for compressed air or gas applications.
