A234 / SA234 WPB-S EQUAL TEE CS BW FITTNG ANSI B16.9
What is a carbon steel tee?
A carbon steel tee is a type of pipe fitting used to connect pipes of different diameters or to change the direction of a pipeline by creating a 90-degree branch. It is called a tee because of its T-shaped appearance, with one inlet and two outlets.Carbon steel tees are commonly used in piping systems for industries like oil and gas, petrochemical, water treatment plants, and more. They are preferred for their strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion.
What is grade WPB?
Grade WPB refers to the specific grade of carbon steel material used in pipe fittings. In the context of carbon steel pipe fittings, WPB stands for "W" for weldable, "P" for pressure, and "B" for black.WPB grade carbon steel fittings are produced in accordance with the ASTM A234 standard, which covers wrought carbon steel and alloy steel fittings of seamless and welded construction. These fittings are commonly used in high-pressure piping systems in various industries.
