Tee Fittings: Key Connectors in Piping Systems

Tee Fittings: Key Connectors in Piping Systems 1. Definition and Basic Function Tee (also known as pipe tee, tee fitting, or tee connector) is a pipe fitting with three openings. Core Function: Used to change fluid direction, enabling flow splitting (one inlet, two outlets) or combining (two inlets, one outlet). Typical Application Location: Where a main […]
Detailed explanation of the characteristics and application fields of elbow products

I. Key Characteristics Flow Direction Control: Precisely alters pipeline direction (common angles: 45°, 90°, 180°, or custom). Connection Hub: Maintains pipeline continuity at direction changes. Design Versatility: Available in multiple angles, materials, manufacturing methods, standards, and connection types to suit diverse operational requirements. Compact Structure: Simpler and more space-efficient than multi-fitting directional solutions. Optimized Flow (Low Resistance): Well-designed types (e.g., […]
Introduction to welded pipe fittings

Definition & Manufacturing: Butt-weld fittings primarily refer to pipe fittings connected via welding. Manufacturing typically follows two paths: Path 1: The fitting manufacturer uses welded pipes conforming to standards as raw material. These are formed into the required shapes (e.g., elbows, tees) through cold/hot forming processes (e.g., pushing, pressing, bending). This forming process itself does not include welding operations; […]
RND PLUG THD-M

Welding plugs are used to block holes by welding, without the need for adhesive bonding, achieving water tightness and beautiful appearance, and easy to operate. There are four types of plugs: square plugs, hexagonal plugs, and round plugs. The implementation standards include ANSIB16.11, GB/T14383, and BS3799 plugs, also known as pipe caps, caps, pipe covers, […]
BULL PLUG

Convex head plug (also known as head, pipe cap, or blind head): a pipe fitting used to permanently or temporarily seal pipeline ports, achieving sealing through welding or threaded connections to prevent medium leakage. Core function: Replace traditional pipe plugs and install directly on the pipe end without the need for additional connectors, simplifying the […]
CON SWAGE PBE

Basic concepts Concentric Swaged Nipple: Belonging to the category of reducing pipes, it is used to connect two pipes of different diameters, with their centerlines coinciding. When the fluid passes through, the flow direction is symmetrical and the resistance is small. Both Ends Plain (BEP): Refers to pipe fittings with flat ends at both ends, […]
SQ CAP THD-F AND HEX CAP THD-F

Four sided threaded pipe cap Definition: Also known as square plug or square tube cap, it is used to close square or rectangular tube ports and is fixed by threading or inserting a hook. Function: Protect the edge of the pipe mouth, prevent dust and leakage, decorate and beautify, reduce noise and slip. hexagon cap […]
