Forged Tee ASME B16.11 – Threaded/Socket Weld
A Forged Tee is a crucial pipe fitting used to branch off a pipeline or connect pipes of different diameters. It is termed “forged” due to its manufacturing process, where a piece of metal, typically steel or stainless steel, is heated and shaped into the desired tee configuration.
The dimensions of a forged tee depend on the size and type of pipe it is designed to connect. Typically, forged tees are available in sizes ranging from 1/8″ to 4″ and in various thicknesses to meet different pressure requirements.
Types of Forged Tee
- Equal Tee: An Equal Tee has all three branches of the same size, ensuring uniform flow distribution.
- Reducing Tee: A Reducing Tee has one or two branches smaller than the main pipe, accommodating different pipe diameters.
- Lateral Tee: A Lateral Tee features a 45-degree or 90-degree bend in one branch, allowing a change in flow direction.
Threaded Tee: A Threaded Tee has threaded connections on all branches, facilitating easy installation and disassembly.
Socket Weld Tee: A Socket Weld Tee uses socket weld connections for attaching branches to the main pipe, ensuring a secure fit.
