It's a hollow thing that comes across in many places in our daily lives. A pipe is a hollow cylinder whose construction material changes to ceramic, metal and plastic wherever it is used. These cylinders are used to transport clean or dirty water or transfer other liquids.Jul. Pipes, which were mostly found in the sector as metal in the past, have started to appear as plastic more with today's developing technology. As we will mention in our article, plastic pipe has more advantages than metal pipe, so its use has increased today. But there are also disadvantages, such as cost.

Well, where can we see these pipes or we can't see them even though they are being used. Plastic pipes are usually found buried in drinking water networks, agricultural irrigation, sewage networks, pools, drain lines. Sometimes it appears visibly like serum hoses in the medical sector.

What are the pipes that we come across in so many places produced according to? Do they have a certain standard, or are they produced according to the taste of technicians? Pipes are manufactured according to certain standards. These standards allow us to understand whether the product is manufactured correctly and at the same time ensure our vital safety. So how do we understand the compliance of these products with the standards? First of all, we can check with the eye. It can be checked if there is any deformation or crushing in the pipe. It can be checked whether there are any scratches on the coating. If it is a threaded pipe, the accuracy or curvature of the teeth can be checked. Our other step will be to measure the diameter and thickness of the pipe. The outer diameter of the pipe is measured with a caliper, the mechanical nature of this caliper will ensure that the results are obtained more healthily. The wall thickness of the pipe, which is the most sensitive measurement, is measured with a micrometer. We can measure the length of the pipe with a ruler or tape measure. After these two stages, we can finally check the product certificate. These certificates guarantee the quality of the product. When you buy a pipe, definitely ask for its certificate and check it. The certificate contains the mechanical properties of the pipe, such as pipe diameter, wall thickness, length, production standard and material information. There are quality certificates such as TS, EN, ISO, AWWA, and ASTM.
