ASME B 16.9 Tee Equal VS Reducing

90 degree elbow’s usage and its specification

Butt Weld Concertric Reducer is the type of pipe fitting which helps to join two pipes with different diameters. There are various material for The pipe reducers as per the demands of industries and also available in many dimensions.

The two ends of concentric reducer are designed with large diameter and small diameter, and the pipe is connected through conical transition section on the same axis.

3/4in BW tee is a normally used fitting in butt welded fittings.A403 WP321 is a grade for stainless steel.Stainless steel pipe fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

BW (butt welded) reducer have two types:Eccentric Reducer and Cocentric Reducer.Reducer only has welded connection.However,swage nipple which belong to forged fittings has same function to reducer.

Reducing tee is a commonly used fittings to branch the pipes and reduce the flow in the piping systems.Large dimension is for butt welded fittings.ASME B16.9 pipe fittings are BW fittings according to American Standard,the size range for the ASME B16.9 fittings is 1/2″-80″.

The pipes cannot appreciate because of what the external arrangement of the pipe reducer seems but the flow of the pipe is changed by the internal width conical transition arrangement. It can be axially shifted and externally reconfigured to offer more efficient reducer connection. Concentric reducers facilitate the delivery of mud and abrasive fluids and are suitable for corrosive operations and where different ratings and wear protection are required between flanges.

The long radius is used most commonly, and it is also the default radius. When it is the place with the high pressure or the high flow rate, the long radius elbow is usually used. If the resistance requirements of the solid transmission pipeline are strict, the larger radius elbows will be used.

BW elbow can welded with pipes to achieve strong and permanent connection.ASTM A234 WPB pipe fittings are the most popular carbon steel fittings.There is also has A234 WPC for carbon steel fittings.

45 deg BW elbow can change the direction of fluids or gas by 45 deg,it only has LR (long radius) type while 90 deg butt welded elbow has both LR and SR(short radius) types.Carbon steel is the most used material in pipe fittings because it has great functions to satisfy many applications.

These Stainless Steel Pipe Fittings are best known for their heat resistance, creep strength and tensile strength. Machined and fabricated to meet your diverse piping requirements, these pipes fittings exhibit excellent corrosion resistance in a wide range of atmospheric environments.

Carbon steel elbows are curved connecting pieces that join straight lengths of pipe, commonly at a 90° or 45° angle, allowing obstructions to be avoided in plumbing, ventilation, welding, and automotive applications.

Steel tee is a T-shaped pipe fitting with three branch pipes. It is used to divide pipes to adjust flow and change direction.

Lap joint stub end usually used with lap joint flange.BW fittings are welding with the end of pipes.Butt welded fittings are popular because of the strong and permanent connections.

Butt weld elbow is a steel elbow formed by hot pressing or forging. Its connection form is to directly weld the elbow and steel pipe. Butt welded elbows have beveled ends to allow for ease of welding. This bevel allows for full penetration weld in most of the cases. Butt welded elbows are mainly used for elbow with higher pressure and temperature.

Butt Weld Fittings include elbows, tees, cross, caps and reduces. These fittings are the most common type of welded pipe fitting and are specified by nominal pipe size and pipe schedule. Buttweld fittings are manufacture by seamless or welded pipe and are formed to get the shape of elbows, tees and cross etc.

Lap joint stub end is belong to butt welded fittings,lap joint stub end is not usually used in many time.Lap joint stub end always be used with lap joint flange.Stainless steel pipe fittings are popular because stainless steel’s excellent performance in corrosion resistance.

Concentric reducers will change kindly between the pump and piping， Concentric reducers are used to connect pipe segments or pipe segments on the same axis.

BW (butt welded）reducer has two types:concentric reducer and eccentric reducer.As it is butt welded fitting,its size can be 1/2″ – 80″,so butt welded fittings can be used in many applications.Stainless steel fittings are more expensive but the functions are also better than others.

What is a 90° pipe elbow and what its application

It is used to handle any high or low weight fluid flow through the tee.Reducing tee is a kind of pipe fitting whose branch size is smaller than the size of pipeline parts. It is used for main pipe string accessories, solvent welding accessories, side outlet and conflicting soluble welding accessories. Such fittings are important because they meet two needs, that is, to connect or separate liquid streams. They are widely used in positive and vacuum applications.

Steel Reducing Tee: The branch diameter is smaller than the main line diameter. Tee reducer is usually described as NPS diameters in 4”x 4”x 3”, 4”is the main line pipe diameter, and 3”is the reducing branch

There are 45 ° elbows and 90 ° elbows in common use. Those with a bending radius of about 1.0 times the outer diameter of the pipe are called short radius elbows; The long radius elbow is about 1.5 times the outer diameter of the pipe

The function of an end cap is to block off the end of a line a piping system, This is achieved by placing the end cap over the open line and welding around the point.

ASME B16.9 elbow means BW elbow.ASME B16.9 is an American Standard for Butt welded fittings,A234 WP22 is represnets BW Alloy pipe fittings. Elbows can be 90 deg and 45 deg to change the pipes in 90 degree or 45 degree.Sometimes the elbows can be 180 deg to satisfy the clinet’s demands.

Lateral tee is a special type of BW tees,it can branch the fluids or gas in 45 deg.Galvanized steel pipe fittings has better anti-corrosive function than normal carbon steel fittings.Galvanized Steel Pipe Fittings have similar corrosion resistance as stainless steel fittings,but more cheaper than stainless steel pipe fittings.

The body of the branch abutment is made of high-quality forgings, which are made of the same materials as the pipes, including carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, etc. The branch pipe seat and the main pipe are welded
