Reducing Tee Butt Welded Pipe Fittings

Steel tee is a T-shaped pipe fittings that has three branches, normally has two forms with Equal Tee and Reducing Tee, both are used to divide the pipelines to adjust the flow rate and change the direction.

According to the production process, it can be divided into: welding elbow, stamping elbow, pushing elbow, casting elbow, butt welding elbow, etc. Other names: 90 degree elbow, right angle bend, etc.

It helps to change direction at 90 degree, and is commonly used to connect hoses to pumps, deck drains and valve.SR 90 degree elbow is the same as the pipe elbow mentioned above, but the diameter is shorter. Therefore, this kind of steel elbow is often used when space is not enough.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.

304/316L BW tees are the most used tees in stainless steel tees.304/316L are the most used grades in American Standard.Tees can be Equal Tees and Reducing Tees.You could find the summary “Equal VS Reducing Tee” in the content below.Stainless steel pipe fittings are populat because of the excellent functions of corrosion resistance.

SS 304/316 pipe tees are popular because these tees have excellent corrosion resistance.Tees can made for three types:BW (butt welded) tee,SW (socket weld) tee,THD (threaded) tee.Clients can choose different type of tees to satisfy different demands.ASME B 16.9 is represents butt welded fittings in American Standard.SW fittings and THD fittings are belong to forged fittings which marked as ASME B 16.11.

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.

Steel pipe tee has two types:Equal Tee and Reducing Tee.Common tees have 90 dergee between the main pipe and the branch.There also has lateral tee which has 45 degree between the main pipe and the branch.

45 deg elbow can change the direction of fluids or gas in 45 degree.There is also has 90 deg elbow to be chosen.45 degree elbow has many diffences with 90 degree elbow.All types of elbows can be Equal Tee and Reducing Tee to satisfy different demands.

Stainless steel pipe fittings including Tee,Cross, Elbow, Reducer, Coupling, Nipple, Plug & Cap,Union.They can be connected with pipes by welding, socket and thread.

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.

BW 3D elbow is belong to Butt welded (BW) elbows.3D means the radius is 3 times of dimensions long.A234 WPB is the most used grade of carbon steel butt welded (BW) fittings according to American Standrad.The degree of the butt welded 3D elbow can be 45 deg, 90 deg and 180 deg.

LR 90 degree steel pipe elbow are installed between different lengths pipe or tubing. It helps to change direction at 90 degree, and is commonly used to connect hoses to pumps, deck drains and valve.SR 90 degree elbow is the same as the pipe elbow mentioned above, but the diameter is shorter. Therefore, this kind of steel elbow is often used when space is not enough.

classification,dimension of lateral tee,and its difference from a WYE.

Carbon steel pipes have a wide using range because it has great functions and affordable price.It can be welded pipe and seamless pipe,among these,the more used type is welded pipe.Welded pipes also have different types:LSAW pipe,SSAW pipe and ERW pipe.

BW (butt welded) reducer can be concentric (COC) reducer and eccentric (EEC) reducer.Among these two types,concentric reducer is more commonly used.The materical of reducer can be carbon steel,alloy steel and stainless steel.Clients can choose different material as their demands.

90 deg LR (long radius) elbow is the most used type of BW elbows.Butt welded elbows also have SR (short radius) elbows.Shanghai Zhucheng has experienced pipe fittings factory that can supply high quality goods for many years.

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.

90 degree elbow, also called “90 bends or 90 elbows”, are manufactured as SR (Short Radius) elbows and LR (Long Radius) elbows.

ASME B16.9 BW tee is a butt welded pipe fitting according to American Standard.Carbon steel fittings are used in many applications because of its great excellent functions.Pipe tees can be equal tee and reducing tee.These tees have same functions,the only difference is reducing tee can reduce the flow in piping system.

Equal butt weld elbow is used to change the direction of the flow in piping system.SCH 80 is a commonly used wall thickness for butt welded fittings,the other commonly used wall thickness is SCH 40.

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.

316L 90 deg elbow is a stainless steel pipe fitting which can used in chemical environment because of its an-ti corrosive function.SCH 10S is repersents to the wall thickness in butt welded fittings. Commonly used wall thickness is SCH 40 and SCH 80.Stainless steel pipe fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

A equal tee’s usage,dimension and features.

In the layout of the pipeline system, long radius elbows should generally be used for connection, and short radius elbows are usually used in places where the installation position of the pipeline system is compact or to reduce costs

Carbon steel elbows are the most commonly used elbows in all the types and material elbows.Large dimensions elbow is butt welded fitting,you can find the butt welded fittings specification below.

BW 90 degree elbow is usually be carbon steel for large dimensions.Butt welded 90 deg elbow also can be alloy steel and stainless steel.Steel pipe fittings are used in piping systems in many industries.
