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.
The equivalent size of a 10mm copper pipe in PPR (Polypropylene Random Copolymer) pipe is typically 20mm. This is because the internal diameter of PPR pipes is larger than that of copper pipes, due to the thicker wall of PPR. Therefore, when converting sizes, it's important to account for these differences in wall thickness and internal diameter.

Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) pipes can withstand heat up to 180 degrees. A special glue is used to blond it together. PPR pipes are a made of plastic and uses no glue as it is heat-fused. PPR is a commercial product.
what is definitin of grade in ppr pipes
PP-R piping is a polypropylene co-polymer pipe used for water service in Europe. It is manufactured from petroleum products, a non-renewable resource. It melts, for "welding" together at 270C (518F) and burns at 330C (626F). The combustion of this plastic produces less toxic fumes than other plastics. It can handle pressures up to 320 PSI and hot water up to about 140F safely without leakage. It is not recommended for outdoor use where it is subject to UV breakdown, Insulation is unnecessary, except to protect it from UV radiation. Otherwise, mounting hanging and use of this pipe should follow normal plumbing codes.
PPR pipe means Pipe made of Polypropylene Random Copolymer (Polypropylene Random Copolymer type 3). The raw material of PPR pipe is Polypropylene Random Copolymer (PPR-C). The production of ppr pipe should comply with Din8077/8078 standards. The PPR pipes designed for the distribution of hot and cold water. Generally speaking, PPR pipe includes below application, features, and application.
Yes, PPR pipe is ideal for installation in potable water pipe networks.

GI pipes are better than PPR pipes as they are more rugged and last for a longer time.

you have first to know the thermal conductivity of PPR that you are dealing with. normally, this is in range between 0.1 to 0.24 W/MK .then you apply this formula Q(IN WATTS) =Thermal Conductivity/MK)*A( surface area for the pipe M2 )temperature difference between fluid inside pipe and temprture of pipe surface K)/(thickness of the pipe M)
