Description

ASTM A234 WPB B16.9 Pipe Fittings Tees, designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial applications. As a trusted manufacturer and exporter of high-quality pipe fittings, we adhere to international standards and leverage advanced manufacturing processes to deliver products that combine durability, precision, and performance.

Product Overview

ASTM A234 WPB tees are critical components in piping systems, enabling the division or merging of fluid flow at 90° angles. Constructed from carbon steel, these tees are engineered for high-pressure and high-temperature environments, making them ideal for industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and petrochemicals. Available in both equal (same inlet/outlet diameters) and unequal (different diameters) configurations, they ensure seamless integration into complex pipeline networks.

Specification

  • Material & Grade: ASTM A234 WPB carbon steel, compliant with ASME B16.9 standards.
  • Size Range: ½" NB to 48" NB, covering schedules from Sch. 10s to Sch. XXS.
  • Process Types: Seamless (for superior strength) or welded (for cost-effective solutions).
  • End Connections: Butt-welded, ensuring secure and leak-free joints.
  • Special Treatments: Optional anti-corrosion sandblasting or hot-dip galvanization for enhanced durability.
  • Testing: Chemical analysis, mechanical testing, and non-destructive examination (NDE) to guarantee compliance with ASTM A234 requirements.
