Is ppr pipe can be use for gas piping system?
No, PPR (Polypropylene Random Copolymer) pipe is not suitable for gas piping systems. It is primarily designed for hot and cold water distribution and is not approved for transporting gas due to its inability to withstand the pressures and potential chemical reactions associated with gas. For gas piping, materials like steel, copper, or specific types of plastic such as polyethylene (PE) are recommended. Always consult local regulations and codes for proper materials in gas applications.
What materials are suitable for natural gas piping?
Pretty much anything - in the UK steel, copper, polyethylene and PVC are all used where suitable.

Why does natural gas leave a residue in piping?
Natural gas can leave a residue in piping due to impurities in the gas such as sulfur compounds or moisture that can react with the metal of the piping or form deposits over time. These residues can accumulate and clog the piping, leading to reduced flow efficiency and potentially causing operational issues. Regular maintenance and cleaning of the piping can help prevent the buildup of residues.
