Overview

A butt-weld tee is formed by hydraulic bulging or hot extrusion from seamless tube, so the branch is reinforced by thickened material rather than by a welded saddle. The result is a smooth bore, uniform wall at the junction and predictable pressure containment.

Forming

Hydraulic bulge forming for DN15–DN300 keeps ovality ≤1% and gives a well-rounded branch transition.

Larger sizes are hot formed or fabricated from two seamless halves and full-penetration welded, then stress relieved.

Ends

All three ends machined to ASME B16.25 bevels matched to the pipe schedule.

Reducing tees are marked with run × branch dimensions, e.g. DN100 × DN80.

Materials

  • Austenitic stainless (304/316L, 321, 310S, 904L)
  • Duplex (2205, 2507)
  • Nickel alloys (625, C-276, 800H/HT)
  • Carbon steel (A234 WPB, WP11, WP22)
