Fortunately, our factory had existing stock available. We immediately organized the production and shipping process. Despite the extremely tight deadline, we steadfastly upheld our principle of quality first. Before delivering the products that same day, we conducted rigorous inspections on every tee. The shipment was successfully dispatched that day, and the client expressed high recognition for our rapid response and high-quality inspection standards.

This order not only demonstrates our efficient delivery capabilities but also showcases our commitment to maintaining quality control even under urgent circumstances. No matter how pressing the client’s needs, we consistently ensure every product meets standards and client expectations.

We can not only produce standard tees, but also customize flanged tee. If you want to know more, please click

Butt Weld Tee Dimensions Inspection

Port Diameter: Measure the inner and outer diameters of the main pipe and branch pipes to ensure compliance with design specifications.

Wall Thickness: Inspect pipe wall thickness using calipers or ultrasonic thickness gauges to guarantee pressure resistance meets standard requirements.

Total Fitting Length: Measure the total length of the main pipe and branch pipes to ensure proper alignment during on-site installation.

Branch Angle: Measure the connection angle between the branch pipe and main pipe (typically 45°, 90°, or custom angles) to ensure correct fluid flow direction.

Specification of ASME B16.9 Tee

ASME B16.9 Specification for Butt Welded Fittings

This Standard covers overall dimensions, tolerances, ratings, testing, and markings for factory-made wrought buttwelding fittings in sizes NPS 1/2 through NPS 48 (DN 15 through DN 1200).

Codes and Regulations.

A fitting used under the jurisdiction of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code(BPVC), the ASME Code for Pressure Piping, or a governmental regulation is subject to any limitation of that code or regulation. This includes any maximum temperature limitation or rule governing the use of a material at low temperature.

Pressure Rating Designation

Class followed by a dimensionless number is the designation for pressure-temperature ratings. Standardized designations for flanges per ASME B16.5 referenced in this Standard are Classes 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500.

Marking

Standard Marking Each fitting shall be permanently marked to show the following:

(a) manufacturer’s name or trademark

(b) material identification, either the ASTM or ASME grade designation

(c) schedule number1 or nominal wall thickness in mm

(d) size — the nominal pipe size (NPS) identification number related to the end connections shall be used

(e) compliance—see para. 4.4 for standard and special fitting marking

A manufacturer may supplement these mandatory markings with others, including a DN size designation, but confusion with the required marking shall be avoided.

ASME B16.9 Butt Weld Equal Tee

Equal Tee: All three ports have the same nominal diameter, meaning the main pipe and branch pipes have the same diameter. It is suitable for situations where the flow rates of the main pipe and branch pipes are the same, ensuring relatively balanced fluid velocity across all pipes. It is commonly used in piping systems requiring symmetrical branching, such as certain symmetrically arranged equipment connection pipes.

ASME B16.9 Butt Weld Reducing Tee

Reducing Tee: The nominal diameters of the three ports are different, typically with the main pipe having a larger diameter than the branch pipes. This type of tee is suitable for pipeline systems where both branching and merging occur, while also requiring changes in pipe diameter. It allows flexible adjustment of pipe diameter based on different flow requirements and is widely used in pipeline systems such as oil and natural gas transportation.
