Carbon Steel Buttweld Equal Tee Standard

Buttweld Equal Tee

The Buttweld Equal Tee is an essential component in plumbing and industrial piping systems, designed to merge or split the flow of fluids with impeccable symmetry. Crafted from high-quality carbon alloy steel, compliant with ASTM A234 standards, it ensures reliability and efficiency in various applications.

Sizing

Sizing is based off Nominal Bore (NB).

Nominal Bore (NB) is a term used in piping and tubing to specify the approximate internal diameter of the pipe. It is a standardized measurement that helps in ensuring compatibility and consistency in piping systems.

NB is commonly used in plumbing, heating, and industrial piping to ensure that pipes, fittings, and valves can be matched and connected efficiently.

Functional Design

Featuring a three-way layout, the equal tee allows for the seamless connection of three pipes of identical diameters. This configuration is particularly beneficial in systems where maintaining a consistent diameter throughout is crucial for flow dynamics. It is most commonly utilised where two horizontal pipes converge with a vertical pipe, ensuring a uniform flow without restrictions.

Diverse Applications

Equal tees are versatile and can be employed in various settings, including water supply, wastewater management, and the fabrication of intricate pipeline networks in the oil and gas sector, among others. Their role in facilitating the merger and division of flow within pipelines makes them invaluable in enhancing the capacity and safety of fluid handling systems.

Key Advantages

Introduction of the Buttweld Equal Tee brings numerous benefits. The welding process integrates the tee seamlessly into the pipeline, ensuring a permanent, leakproof connection that enhances system integrity. The continuity of metal structure across the connection points adds significant strength, enhancing the durability of the pipeline. Smooth inner surfaces and uniform diameter reduce friction and turbulence, minimising pressure losses and the risk of erosion and corrosion over time. A compact design of the equal tee makes optimal use of space, crucial in complex or confined installations.

Available in various sizes, the equal tee offers a practical solution that is both economical and effective for long-distance pipeline applications, making it a favoured choice in industries like irrigation, plumbing, and power generation.
