Tees Fittings

Tees fittings are forged components used to split or redirect material flow in piping systems, creating a 90° branch from the main run. Available as equal or reducing tees, they accommodate varying pipe diameters to meet system requirements.

These fittings, manufactured with butt weld, socket, or threaded ends, ensure reliable flow management. They are essential in industries like oil and gas, construction, and chemical processing, providing strength and versatility in complex piping networks.

Tees Fittings

Tees fittings are critical for splitting or changing the direction of flow in piping systems. They create a 90° branch from the main run, with equal tees having the same diameter for branch and run pipes, and reducing tees featuring a smaller branch diameter. Available with butt weld, socket, or threaded extremities, tees are designed to handle diverse flow conditions while maintaining system integrity.

Key Properties of Tees Fittings

  • Flow Splitting: Creates a 90° branch to divide or redirect material flow.
  • Strength: Forged construction withstands high pressure and stress.
  • Flexibility: Equal and reducing types suit various pipe diameters.
  • Connection Options: Supports butt weld, socket, or threaded ends for diverse installations.

Common Grades and Equivalents

Tees fittings are produced to industry standards, ensuring compatibility and performance across piping applications.

Grade/Standard Equivalent Application
ANSI B16.9, MSS-SP-43 WPB/WPL6 Oil and gas, power plants
MSS-SP-75 High-strength steel High-pressure systems
DIN2615 Teil 1/2 Seamless/welded tees Chemical and petrochemical industries

Applications of Tees Fittings

Tees fittings are vital in industries requiring efficient flow distribution and redirection:

  • Oil and Gas: Splits or redirects flow in pipeline and refinery systems.
  • Construction: Used in plumbing and HVAC for branching pipelines.
  • Chemical Processing: Manages fluid distribution in corrosive environments.
  • Water Treatment: Facilitates branching in distribution and treatment systems.
