ASME B16.9 Reducing Tee

Product Description

Socket Weld Fittings

Socket weld fittings refers to a pipe inserted in to a recessed area another pipe or fittings. It is using seal welding process as they are usually in small dimensions below 2 inch. Manufacturing standards complied to ASME B16.11. Material also in carbon, alloy and stainless steel.

A pipe tee is a type of fitting that has three branches, with the fitting formed in the shape of the letter T. Similar to most fittings, the ASME B16.11 Reducing Tee is used in piping systems to change the direction of the flow. The difference between equal and unequal tee is the size of its diameter. The branch diameter of a Forged Screwed Unequal Tee is smaller than its main diameter. To illustrate, a reducing tees is usually described as NPS diameters, where the dimensions given are 4” x 4” x 3”. In this instance, the ANSI B16.9 Reducing Sw Tee Dimensions wherein 4 inches is the mainline pipe diameter, whereas 3 inches is the reducing branch. Both standards ASME B16.11 and ANSI B16.9 cover several aspects that could be used in the manufacture of fittings like Carbon Steel Threaded Reducing Tee. These aspects include overall dimensions, ratings, tolerances, marking as well as material requirements. However, the these two standards can be distinguished by the type of fitting produced. For instance, ASME B16.11 is a standard that provides recommendations for Forged Steel, Socket-Welding like the ASME B16.11 Socket Weld Reducing Tee and Threaded Fittings.
