1. The standards of the two are different, the standard of PE water supply pipe is GB/T13663-2000, and the standard of PVC water supply pipe is GB/T10002.1-2006. The requirements for the wall thickness and performance indicators of the two are different in the standard.
2. The strength of PVC is better than that of PE, and the toughness (impact resistance) of PE is better than that of PVC. PE can be used at minus 20 degrees (the internal fluid cannot freeze and keep it flowing).
3. PE pipes can be connected by hot-melt connection, which is safe and reliable, and has high strength; PVC pipes are bonded with adhesive or elastic sealing ring, which is convenient and quick.
4. The formula of PVC pipes is complex and there are many additives. Various additives used in drinking water must be safe and non-toxic. PE pipes have fewer additives and generally have a higher sanitary performance than PVC.
5. PE pipes are soft, small diameter pipes can be made into coiled pipes, while PVC pipes are harder and cannot be coiled.
