304/316 Stainless Steel Forged Tee ASME B16.11 Socket Weld Threaded Pipe Fitting High Strength

304/316 Stainless Steel Forged Tee ASME B16.11 Socket Weld Threaded Pipe Fitting High Strength

1. Product Description

Stainless Steel Tee is a pipe fitting and pipeline connector manufactured from stainless steel materials such as 304 and 316. It features a T-shaped configuration with three ports. The product is available in three types: equal tee, reducing tee, and lateral tee. Connection methods include butt welding, threaded connection, and socket welding. The primary manufacturing processes are hydraulic bulging and hot press forming, with hydraulic bulging enabling one-step forming for high production efficiency while increasing the wall thickness of both the main pipe and shoulder areas.

2. Product Applications

Stainless Steel Tee is primarily used for directional changes, flow convergence, and flow diversion at branch points in pipeline systems. At locations where a branch line needs to be taken off from the main pipeline, the tee can split one fluid flow into two paths or combine two flows into one. An equal tee has identical connection sizes at all three ends, while a reducing tee has a branch connection smaller than the main pipe connections.

The product is widely applied in industries such as petroleum, chemical, electric power, metallurgy, shipbuilding, construction, oil and gas, liquefied gas, fertilizer, nuclear power, papermaking, food processing, and urban construction for both new installations and maintenance. It is also suitable for stainless steel piping systems conveying drinking water, domestic water, cold water, hot water, seawater, gas, fire protection, and industrial gases.

​3.Product Advantages

• Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel contains chromium (≥10.5%), forming a dense passive film on the surface. It resists corrosion at room temperature and withstands acids, alkalis, and salt spray. Grade 316L offers exceptional resistance to chloride ions.

• High Temperature and Pressure Resistance: Wide operating temperature range (-196°C to 800°C, depending on grade) with high pressure capacity, meeting the stringent requirements of industrial pipeline systems.

• High Strength and Long Service Life: Tensile strength ≥520MPa, yield strength ≥205MPa (for 304 grade). The product offers a service life comparable to that of the building itself, with permanent leak-proof performance after one installation.

• Flexible Connection Methods: Multiple connection options including butt welding, threaded, socket welding, flange, and clamp connections to accommodate various installation environments and engineering requirements.

• Wide Size Range with Customization Options: Sizes from DN15 to DN2000 (1/2 inch to 22 inches), wall thickness from SCH5S to SCH160. Standard and non-standard specifications available upon request.

• Environmentally Friendly and Safe Material: Stainless steel is non-toxic and harmless, suitable for water supply, gas, and HVAC applications with high hygiene and safety standards.
