Welded Equal Tee is a T-shaped pipe fitting that connects three pipes of the same diameter from the same direction. Since all three pipes have identical sizes, it is called a welded equal tee. It is typically used for pipe branching, where a main pipeline splits into two directions or where two pipes of the same diameter need to be connected.
The connection method involves welding the three pipes together. During fusion welding, the metal in the joint area is heated to its melting point and then cooled, fusing the pipes into a single unit. Because all three pipes have the same diameter, the welding process is relatively straightforward.
Welded equal tees have wide-ranging applications and are commonly used in various industries. Their most typical uses include branching off from a main pipeline or connecting two pipes of identical diameter.
