Question 1

What is a Buttweld Tee Equal used for?

Accepted Answer

A Buttweld Tee Equal serves to join a piping system of three pipes of equivalent diameter, forming a flow division/combination at a smooth point. It is used in the even distribution of liquids, gases, or steam through various pipelines. Its leak proof design and good build give it a high level of efficiency in the performance of the system. Such fittings are very common in industries like oil and gas, petrochemicals and construction industries.

Question 2

How does a Buttweld Tee Equal differ from a Tee Reducer?

Accepted Answer

A Buttweld Tee Equal joins pipes of the same diameter and offers a similar flow through each of the three outlets. Conversely, a Tee Reducer connects the two pipes with a different diameter, and the flow/pipeline size can be reduced. The choice of the two is based on project requirements and system design by engineers. Whereas Equal Tees are consistent, Reducer Tees provide flexibility in the pipeline networks.

Question 3

What materials are Buttweld Tee Equal fittings available in?

Accepted Answer

Buttweld Tee Equal fittings are widely produced using stainless steel, carbon steel and alloy steel and each fitting is used in applications that are specific. Stainless steel offers resistance to corrosion in extreme surroundings, whereas carbon steel offers high pressure systems. Alloy steel is the best one to use when it comes to heat resistance in high temperature conditions. This diversity is a guarantee of reliability in various industries.
