Preferred Areas of Steel and Plastic Pipes

Steel and plastic pipes are widely preferred materials in the construction, infrastructure, industry and agriculture sectors with their different advantages and usage features. Both types of pipes may be more suitable for certain applications, and the type of pipe to be selected varies depending on the purpose of use, durability requirements, cost and environmental effects.

 

Steel pipes are generally preferred in systems operating under high pressure and temperature. Steel pipes, which have a heavy load carrying capacity thanks to their strong structure, are safely used in oil and natural gas transmission lines, water pipelines, fire extinguishing systems and industrial facilities. The durability, long life and corrosion resistance of steel pipes and their ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions make them an indispensable option in heavy industry and infrastructure projects. In addition, steel pipes can be connected by welding, which provides leak-proof and secure connections.

 

On the other hand, plastic pipes offer a lighter and more economical option. Plastic pipes produced from materials such as PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride) and PE (Polyethylene) are frequently used in applications such as water and gas distribution systems, wastewater lines and irrigation systems. Plastic pipes are preferred due to their corrosion resistance, easy installation and low maintenance requirements. In addition, the flexible structure of plastic pipes allows them to adapt to various difficulties in construction and infrastructure projects.

 

Both types of pipes have advantages and the type of pipe to be selected should be determined according to the requirements of the application. Steel pipes are preferred in projects requiring high strength and long life, while plastic pipes are preferred in projects seeking lower cost, lightweight and easily processable solutions. Choosing the right pipe ensures efficient operation and long-term performance of the systems.
