A pipe tee is also called triplet, three-way, and “T” pieces, which can be used to either combine or split a fluid flow. Most common are tees with the same inlet and outlet sizes, but ‘reducing’ tees are available as well.
The dimension of ASME B16.9 Pipe Tee
The dimension of EN 10253 Pipe Tee
The dimension of GOST 17376 Pipe Tee
Tolerance of butt weld pipe tees
Types of pipe tee
Equal Tee / straight tee
Equal tee (or straight tee), means the branch diameter of this tee is the same as the main pipe (Run pipe) diameter of this tee.
Reducing tee
Reducing tee has a branch that is smaller than the main run allows for branching off to a smaller pipe of equipment from the main run.
Lateral Tee
A Lateral pipe tee means a pipe fitting that is similar to a tee but has a side opening outlet branch at a 45-degree angle.
Barred Tee
A barred tee is a tee or any fitting with a branch used in pipelines that are pigged and have a restriction bar welded internally preventing the pig from traveling down a branch connection.
Types of pipe tee
Pipe Tees are widely used in various commercial and industrial applications.
Industrial applications include:
Chemical processing
Petroleum
Pulp/paper
Refining
Textile
Waste treatment, Marine
Utilities/power generation
Industrial equipment
Automotive
Gas compression and distribution industries
Pipe Tees are also recommended for industrial plant fluid power systems.
