Socket Weld Tee

An equal tee, otherwise called straight tee, means the branch diameter of this tee is same with the main pipe (Run pipe) diameter of this tee.
A pipe tee is defined “equal” when the bore size at the run and branch sides have the same diameter. An equal tee is, therefore, used to connect two pipes of the same nominal diameter.

Steel pipe tee is a pipe fitting used to tansport the flow in the piping system.Carbon steel fittings are used in many applications becasue of its great excellent functions.

There are two types of tees:Equal Tee and Reducing Tee.Stainless steel pipe fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

SW tees have two types:Equal and Reducing.SW fittings have same ranges of size(1/8”-4”) and pressures(2000lb,3000lb,6000lb,9000lb).Class 3000 is the most common used among these pressures.Class 3000 can be labeled as 3M,where M means 1000,class 3000 fittings can withstand up to 3000 PSI.

Carbon steel tee is the most used type in all tees because carbon steel has great functions and affordable price.Galvanized pipe fittings has better anti-corrosive function than normal carbon steel pipe fittings,galvanized fittings have similar functions as stainless steel fittings,but the price is cheaper than stainless steel fittings.

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.
