Equal & Reducing Tees for Branch Connections in Piping Systems
Krishna Forge manufactures high-quality butt weld tees designed for creating branch connections in piping systems. Our tees are precision-engineered to ensure optimal flow distribution, minimal pressure drop, and long-lasting performance in various industrial applications.
Size Range: 1/2" to 48"
Wall Thickness: Schedule 10 to XXS
Types: Equal, Reducing, Barred
Pressure Class: 150 to 2500
Ends: Butt Weld
Standards: ASME B16.9, MSS SP-75
Comprehensive range of tee fittings for various industrial applications
All three ends have the same diameter, used for straight-through flow with a perpendicular branch connection.
Branch connection is smaller than the run pipe, used for connecting smaller diameter pipes to main lines.
Special tee with reinforcement bars for pigging operations in pipelines, allowing pigs to pass through.
Four-way connection with one inlet and three outlets, used for complex piping networks.
Branch connection at 45° angle instead of 90°, used for smoother flow transition.
Extra reinforcement at branch connection for high pressure and stress applications.
