Cold Forming Or Steel Plate Welding Steel Pipe Tee And Reducing Tees / Equal Tee

• Steel Butt Weld Fittings - Tee

A tee is a type of pipe joint shaped like the letter 'T', making it one of the most common types of butt weld fittings and a vital accessory in piping systems. Tees come in two varieties based on the diameter of the outlets: equal tees (TS) and reducing tees (TR). Equal tees, also known as straight tees, have three outlets with the same outer diameter. Reducing tees feature a main pipe and a branch pipe; the branch pipe's diameter is smaller than that of the main pipe. Butt weld tees are typically manufactured using pipe cold forming technology or by welding steel plates.

• Butt Weld Tee Fittings

The butt weld tee is a T-shaped pipe joint, one of the most prevalent types of butt weld fittings, and an essential component of piping systems. Depending on the outlet diameters, there are two types of tees: butt weld equal tees (WTS) and butt weld reducing tees (WTR). Equal tees, also known as straight tees, have three outlets of the same diameter, whereas the reducing tees have a main pipe and branch pipe diameters, with the branch being smaller than the main. These tees are generally produced using pipe cold forming technology or steel plate welding techniques. Our company proudly offers a range of materials for these fittings, including stainless steel, duplex steel, and various alloys, available in both seamless and welded forms. Our seamless tees can be manufactured up to 24 inches, and welded tees up to 80 inches, including heavy-wall thickness stainless steel tees. All products are manufactured in compliance with relevant standards and are available for third-party inspections, such as by SGS, BV, Lloyd's, and TUV.

In piping systems, butt weld fittings are used in oil, chemical, and power production facilities to change the direction or diameter of pipelines, branch pipelines, and facilitate special connections. These fittings are crucial components of pressure pipeline systems. Butt weld fittings are typically used for permanent connections in long pipelines where disassembly is not frequent. Given the complex stresses from changes in the flow direction and cross-sectional area at the installation point, the quality of the fittings directly impacts the safety and stability of the entire pipeline system. Our range of products includes 90-degree elbows, 45-degree elbows, tees, crosses, caps, concentric and eccentric reducers, and stub ends, all conforming to ASTM A403 and ASTM A234 standards. These fittings are particularly suited for high-pressure applications in industries like petrochemicals, healthcare, power, aerospace, military, fire safety, metallurgy, shipbuilding, gas, nuclear power, and environmental protection, where high pressure and precision dimensions are required.
