Forged Equal Tee

These tees are manufactured from a variety of materials, each offering specific benefits depending on the application. Stainless steel forged tees provide excellent corrosion resistance, making them ideal for chemical and marine environments. Carbon steel forged tees are known for their superior strength and are commonly used in high pressure systems such as oil and gas pipelines. Alloy steel forged tees are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and chemically aggressive environments, making them suitable for specialized industrial processes. Duplex and super duplex grades are also available for offshore and highly corrosive applications.

Yes, forged equal tees are designed to perform reliably under high pressure and high temperature conditions. The forging process compresses and refines the grain structure of the metal, making the fittings stronger and more resistant to stress and fatigue. This allows them to endure the extreme conditions found in oil refineries, offshore rigs, chemical plants, and power generation facilities. Because of their durability, they are less likely to fail under pressure, which enhances both safety and operational efficiency in critical industrial environments.

Forged equal tees are available in two main connection types: threaded and socket weld. Threaded tees feature internal threads, allowing pipes with matching threads to be screwed directly into the fitting. They are commonly used in smaller diameter pipelines and in systems that require easy assembly and disassembly. Socket weld tees involve inserting the pipe into a socket and welding it in place, creating a strong, permanent, and leak proof joint. This type is better suited for high pressure and high temperature applications where structural integrity is crucial.
