Description

Socket Welding Tee is a type of pipe fitting used to join three pieces of pipe or change the direction of flow in a piping system. It is shaped like the letter “T”, with one inlet and two outlets at a 90-degree angle to the inlet. The prominent feature of this type of fitting is the socket welding connection method, in which the pipe end will be inserted into a cylindrical welding hole in the fitting and then welded closed.

Applications

Socket Welding Tee is widely used in many industries, including:

• Oil and gas industry: Used to connect oil and gas pipes, helping to adjust the flow direction.
• Chemical Industry: Used in chemical piping systems, helping to distribute or change the flow direction of chemicals.
• Food and beverage industry: Used in food and beverage piping systems, ensuring safety and hygiene.
• Construction and mechanical industry: Used in plumbing systems, HVAC systems, etc.

Standards

• Size: Socket Welding Tee is specified in nominal sizes from 1/8 inch to 4 inch.
• Materials: Materials used for Socket Welding Tee according to ASME B16.11 include carbon steel, stainless steel and other alloys.
• Design: The design of Socket Welding Tee according to this standard must ensure good pressure resistance and weldability.
• Shape: The shape of the TEE must ensure a precise and tight connection with the pipe sections.
