Stainless steel butt welded tee is a type of joint used for branching stainless steel pipes, with one resembling the letter “T” and others resembling the letter “Y”. It can split a main pipeline into two or merge two pipelines into one. The term ‘butt welding’ in the name refers to its direct welding onto the main pipeline, with a very firm and well sealed joint that is not easily leaked.
Where is it used?
As long as the pipeline needs to branch, merge, or change direction, stainless steel butt welded tees can be used in most places, such as:[High pressure danger zone]: Oil and gas pipelines, chemical plants (no leakage!);[High hygiene requirements]: Food and beverage production lines, pharmaceutical factory pipelines (clean and easy to clean);[General industry]: Hydraulic/pneumatic pipelines in heating, water supply, and mechanical equipment.
In general, stainless steel butt welded tees are responsible for safely and reliably diverting or merging on critical pipelines, and are the “transportation hub” of industrial pipeline networks.
