One-Minute Overview

SS 304 equal tee with three openings of the same bore.
2 Inch, STD wall, butt weld ends, built to ASME B16.9.
Corrosion resistance feature for petroleum pipeline service.
Sizes, schedules and certificates are confirmed per inquiry.

An equal tee puts three openings of the same bore on one body, so the run flows straight through and the branch leaves at ninety degrees. This SS 304 version is the 2 Inch size with STD wall and butt weld ends, built to ASME B16.9 so every centre-to-end dimension and bevel matches the pipes it joins. Stainless SS 304 brings corrosion resistance for petroleum pipeline duty, and the equal design keeps flow distribution balanced between the run and the branch. Because the tee collects three welds in one body, fit-up and support deserve a little planning. Sizes, wall thicknesses and schedules are confirmed per inquiry, and a detailed specification sheet is available on request.

An equal tee puts three openings of the same bore on one body, so the run flows straight through and the branch leaves at ninety degrees. On this SS 304 version the 2 Inch size, STD wall and butt weld ends are fixed to ASME B16.9, so check the actual outside diameter and the wall of all three connecting pipes against the spool drawing before ordering. Keep the tee in a compatible material group with the run pipe, and remember that stainless is chosen here for corrosion resistance in petroleum service, not for extra pressure strength. Plan the branch orientation early, because the centre-to-end dimensions are set by the standard and the branch cannot be trimmed on site to make a tight rack fit.

Welding an equal tee is three joints meeting in one body, so heat input and sequence matter. Tack the two run ends first, check the branch is square, then weld the run and the branch in a balanced order so the body does not twist as it heats. Cap with controlled heat input, let the joint cool evenly and avoid using the branch as a lever to pull a misaligned spool into line. Before the spool ships, verify all three centre-to-end dimensions, inspect each bead and confirm the grade stamping. Sizes, wall thicknesses and schedules are confirmed per inquiry, so request the specification sheet and the material certificate with the order.

FAQ

Q1. Why an equal tee rather than a reducing one?

Because all three pipes share the same bore. An equal tee keeps the run and branch the same size, which gives balanced flow and a simpler spool when no diameter change is needed. A reducing tee steps the branch down; use that only when the drawing actually calls for a smaller outlet, otherwise it adds a transition and a pressure drop you did not ask for.

Q2. Does the stainless grade change how I weld it?

It changes the discipline, not the shape. Keep the tee in a compatible filler group, control heat input and protect the bevels from carbon steel contamination, because free iron can rust the joint later. Fit-up, tack sequence and cooling still follow the same logic as carbon steel; stainless just punishes shortcuts faster.

Q3. Can I rotate the branch a few degrees to miss a support?

The branch is fixed at ninety degrees to the run by ASME B16.9, so no. Rotating it means cutting and re-welding, which is no longer a standard fitting. Solve the clash by moving the support or shifting the spool on the drawing, not by asking a tee to change its geometry.

Q4. How long will production take?

Standard sizes are typically ready within 30 days, and in-stock items ship immediately. Larger or custom orders get a confirmed date per order, because the schedule depends on quantity, material, the bolt pattern you specify, and how busy production is at the moment you order.
