ASME B16.11 Tees

Forged Socket Weld Reducing Tee, Lateral Tee, Unequal Tee Fittings Supplier

Socket Weld and Threaded Tees are crucial forged fittings used in piping systems to connect three pipe sections, ensuring efficient flow distribution or direction. The Socket Weld Equal Tee is designed for high-pressure applications, featuring three outlets of the same size and providing a secure, leak-proof connection through welding. &, the Threaded Equal Tee offers a versatile option for lower-pressure systems, with threaded connections for ease of installation and maintenance.

The Socket Weld Reducing Tee provides a robust, leak-proof connection through a welded joint, making it suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications. On the other hand, the Threaded Reducing Tee offers ease of assembly and disassembly, making it a practical choice for systems requiring regular maintenance or modifications.

The Socket Weld Lateral Tee and Threaded Lateral Tee feature a 45-degree branch, often used for directional changes or when smoother flow transitions are required. These tees are manufactured to standards such as ASME B16.11, ensuring precision and durability. Made from materials like stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy steel, they are widely used in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, and chemical processing, delivering reliable performance in demanding conditions.

High-Quality Materials

Ample Alloys uses premium materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, and duplex stainless steel, ensuring that their socket weld tees have superior strength, corrosion resistance, and performance.

Customized Solutions

Understanding that each project may have unique requirements, Ample Alloys provides customized socket weld tees tailored to specific needs.

Precision Manufacturing

With advanced manufacturing techniques, Ample Alloys ensures that every socket weld tee is crafted with exceptional precision. This includes meticulous attention to dimensions, threading, and weld integrity.

Experience and Expertise

Ample Alloys has years of experience in the forged fittings industry, particularly in the supply of socket weld tees.

Socket Weld Tees are welded to pipes for a strong, permanent connection, ideal for high-pressure systems. Threaded Tees are screwed onto pipes, offering easy installation and disassembly, but are more suitable for low-pressure applications.

An Equal Tee has three branches of the same size, while a Reducing Tee has one branch that is smaller than the others. The reducing tee is used when there's a need to connect pipes of different diameters.

These tees are used across industries like oil & gas, chemical processing, power generation, and water treatment, typically in systems that require directional flow changes, size adjustments, or efficient branching.
