Ceramic fiber pipes are distinct from other pipes due to their composition and properties. Made from ceramic fibers, they offer high thermal insulation, resistance to high temperatures, and excellent corrosion resistance. They are lightweight, flexible, and can be easily shaped or cut. In contrast, metal pipes like steel or copper are strong and durable but may corrode over time and have lower thermal insulation. Plastic pipes are lightweight and cost-effective but have lower heat resistance and strength. Ceramic fiber pipes are often used in high-temperature applications and chemical processing where their unique properties are beneficial, while other pipes are chosen based on specific needs such as water supply, gas distribution, or electrical conduits.
