Reducing Tee Butt Welded Fittings

What is a pipe Tee,its specification and importance.

ASME B 16.9 tee is BW (butt welded) tee belong to butt welded fittings.These tees can bu equal type or reducing type.Normal tees can change the direction of the pipe system of 90 deg.And tees also have lateral tees to change the direction of 45 deg.

Whatis the difference between concentric and eccentric reducers?

Difference between a pipe elbow and a pipe bend is as follows:

Concentric reducer is used to join pipe sections or tube sections on the same axis. It is cone-shaped, and is used when there is a shift in diameter between pipes. A pipe reducer is available in various specifications, such as a single diameter change and also in a multiple diameter change.

Steel pipe elbow is a key parts in a piping system for to change the fluid flow direction. It is used to connect two pipes with same or different nominal diameters, and to make the pipe turn to a certain direction of 45 degree or 90 degree.

Equal diameter tee, also known as straight tee, the branch diameter of the tee is the same as the pipe diameter of the tee. The three branches of tee have same diameters.

The function of a 45 degree elbow is the same as a 90 degree elbow, but the measurement of dimensions is different to that of the 90 degree elbow.Compared to 90 degree elbow, 45 degree elbow produces less friction, and with the lower pressure.

90 degree steel pipe elbow functioned to change fluid direction by 90 degree, so also named as vertical elbow. A 90 degree elbow attaches readily to plastic, copper, cast iron, steel and lead. It can also attach to rubber with stainless steel clamps. Available in many materials like silicon, rubber compounds, galvanized steel etc.

Compared to 90 degree elbow, 45 degree elbow produces less friction, and with the lower pressure. 45 degree elbow is widely used in chemical industry, food, water supply facilities, electronic industry, chemical pipeline, horticulture, agricultural production, solar equipment pipeline, air conditioning pipeline and other fields.

Butt welded elbow,also called BW elbow,there are two types elbows:Reducing Elbow and Equal Elbow.both types elbows can change the fluids or gas in 45 deg or 90 deg,while reducing elbows also can reduce the flow in the piping system.Shanghai Zhucheng has experienced steel pipe fittings factory to supply high quality fittings.

Concentric reducers provide an in-line conical transition between pressurized pipes of different diameters. It is used to connect pipe segments or pipe segments on the same axis.

Steel bend is almost same as pipe elbow. It’s radius is bigger and extensive used in oil and gas, engineering and construction industry.

Steel pipe bend is belong to butt welded fittings,bends have some similar usages as elbows.However,bends can be customized by clients to satisfy different demands.API 5L B is a grade of carbon steel material for pipes and bends.

The surface quality and mechanical properties of the elbow are almost the same as the pipe’s. To facilitate welding, the long radius elbow should be made of the same kind material of the pipe to be connected.

ASME B16.9 butt welded fittings are American Standard BW fittings.COC Reducer means concentric reducer,BW reducers can be concentric (COC) reducer and eccentric (ECC) reducer.These reducers have same functions,the only difference is the internal structure.

A pipe tee isuaually used in different industries,petroleum, natural gas, chemical, water and electricity, building and boiler industries.What’s the advantage ,how to choose a suitable tee ?

BW cap is used to close the pipe system,the function is similar to plug.A234 WPB is a commonly used grade for carbon steel in American Standard.SCH 40S is represents a wall thickness of butt welded fittings.The commonly used wall thicknesses for BW fittings are SCH 40,SCH 80.

A234 WP22 elbow is a alloy steel pipe fitting used in piping systems.A234 WP22 is represents alloy steel butt welded fittings in American Standard.Elbows can manufactured as 45 and 90 deg.These elbows have similar functions,the only difference is 45 degree elbow can changes the direction of pipes in 45 degree while 90 degree elbow can changes in 90 deg.

BW 180 deg elbow is used to change the direction of pipe system in 180 degree.There are also 90 deg elbow and 45 deg elbow to meet different demands.Carbon and alloy steel are always called “black steel” as the surfer of these steels are black.

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.

45 degree elbow is second common use after 90 degree elbow. The function of a 45 degree elbow is the same as a 90 degree elbow, but the measurement of dimensions is different to that of the 90 degree elbow.

ASME B16.9 cross is a pipe fitting used to connect four pipes together, and the connection is achieved by welding. It plays a role in diversion or confluence in the pipeline system and is an important connector in the pipeline layout.

Stainless steel BW tees are always used in many corrosive environments because of the corrosion resistance of stainless steel.ASTM A182 F316 is a commonly used 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.

Pipe tees can be two types:Reducing Tee and Equal Tee.Both types of tees can branch the pipes in the piping systems.Schedule 40 is a wall thickness of the butt welded fittings,the commonly used schedules are SCH 40,SCH 80.

Butt welded cross is pipe fitting used to transport the flow in piping systems.BW cross can connect four pipes vertically with welded connection.Cross can be two types:Equal and Reducing.These crosses have similar functions,but reducing tees can reduce the flow while equal tees can not.

When the direction change angle of the single section of the miter elbow is greater than 45, it should not be used in the pipeline with toxic and combustible media, or in the pipeline subject to vibration, pressure pulsation and alternating load due to temperature change

BW 90 degree elbow is the most chosen type in all types of elbows.It can be long radius (LR) or short radius (SR).ASTM A234 WPC is standard for carbon steel butt welded fittings.There is also a more commonly used standard for carbon steel butt welded fittings is ASTM A234 WPB.

Carbon steel tee is the most used tees because of the great material.Shanghai Zhucheng is an excellent pipe fittings supplier who supplys high quality pipe fittings and flanges for years.Carbon steel fittings are used in many applications because of its great excellent functions.

ASTM A403 Stainless Steel Butt Weld 45 Degree Elbow refers to the material of forged and rolled austenitic stainless fittings for pressure pipes. Common grades are WP304/L, WP316/L. They can be used into many fields as engineering industry, energy conversion plants etc. ASTM A403 WP304, WP316 Elbow are buttweld fittings made for austenitic stainless steel applications with forged material.
