Equal SW Tee Class 3000

SW tees have two types:Equal and Reducing.SW fittings have same ranges of size(1/8”-4”) and pressures(2000lb,3000lb,6000lb,9000lb).Class 3000 is the most common used among these pressures.Class 3000 can be labeled as 3M,where M means 1000,class 3000 fittings can withstand up to 3000 PSI.

Equal SW (socket weld) tee is a T-shaped pipe fitting with three branch pipes. It is used to divide pipes to adjust flow and change direction.

 

Socket Weld(SW) fittings are high pressure fittings which are used in the pipe system,and only in conjunction with ASME pipes.SW fittings have same ranges of size(1/8”-4”) and pressures(2000lb,3000lb,6000lb,9000lb).Class 3000 is the most common used among these pressures.Class 3000 can be labeled as 3M,where M means 1000,class 3000 fittings can withstand up to 3000 PSI.

 

There are two types of tee:Equal Tee and Reducing Tee.

Equal Tee

Equal diameter tee, also known as straight tee, the branch diameter of the tee is the same as the pipe diameter of the tee.

Reducing Tee

The reducing tee has two outlets cut at 90 degrees with the main pipe, and the size of the branch pipe is smaller than the port of the pipeline.

 

Product features

  • Good general corrosion resistance and high strength
  • Good sulfide stress corrosion resistance
  • Resistance to chloride pitting and crevice corrosion
  • Higher resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking
  • Easy to weld and conform

 

Equal Tee VS Reducing Tee

  • Steel Equal Tee pipe fittings: The three branches of tee have same diameters.
  • Steel Reducing Tee: The branch diameter is smaller than the main line diameter. Tee reducer is usually described as NPS diameters in 4”x 4”x 3”, 4”is the main line pipe diameter, and 3”is the reducing branch.

 

Applications

  • Oil and gas transmissions
  • Petroleum and Oil refining
  • Water treatment systems
  • Chemical Industries
