Pipe Tee
Pipe Tees, often simply called ‘tees,’ are integral components in piping systems, used to split or combine fluid flows. These fittings are shaped like the letter ‘T’, forming a junction where two horizontal pipes meet one vertical pipe. Available in two main types—Equal Tee and Reducing Tee—these fittings facilitate effective fluid management by allowing for the direction and mixing of flows in complex piping systems.
Types of Pipe Tees and Their Applications
- Equal Tee: Typically used in scenarios where the main and branch pipe diameters are the same. This type is essential for uniform fluid distribution and collection in systems.
- Reducing Tee: Used when the branch pipe’s diameter is less than that of the main pipe. This variant is crucial for incorporating smaller lines into larger systems without disrupting flow continuity.
Material Specifications and Manufacturing Standards
Our pipe tees are manufactured to meet global standards, ensuring compatibility and performance across various applications:
- ASTM Standards: Including ASTM A403 for stainless steel and ASTM A234 for carbon steel, which outline the requirements for material quality and properties.
- ASME Standards: We adhere to ASME B16.9 and B16.28 for dimensions and tolerances, ensuring high reliability and seamless integration into existing systems.
- DIN and EN Standards: Our products conform to European standards, ensuring they meet rigorous international requirements.
Available Materials
- Stainless Steel: Grades like 304, 316, and 904L offer corrosion resistance and are ideal for harsh environments.
- Carbon Steel: Durable and strong, suitable for high-pressure applications.
- Alloy Steel: High performance in high-temperature and corrosive conditions.
- Duplex and Nickel Alloys: For advanced strength and corrosion resistance in challenging environments.
Quality Assurance and Certification
Each tee fitting undergoes a strict inspection process to ensure it meets or exceeds industry standards. We provide:
- Visual Inspections: To confirm conformity to standards such as ASTM, ASME, MSS, DIN, and JIS.
- Testing and Certifications: Including EN 10204 3.1B certifications, 100% radiography, and third-party inspection reports upon request.
Marking & Packing
Our fittings are carefully marked with the grade, size, and heat number to ensure traceability and are packaged securely in wooden cases to prevent any damage during transit. Custom markings are available on request to meet specific client needs.
