SMLSCO fitting tees are mainly manufactured using hydraulic bulging technology. Firstly, cut qualified seamless steel pipe blanks and place them into three-way molds. Subsequently, high-pressure liquid is injected into the billet through a dedicated hydraulic press, while axial pressure is applied from both ends to force the metal to flow along the mold cavity, expanding out the branch pipe and forming a seamless tee as a whole. After forming, the product needs to undergo a series of processes such as heat treatment, surface acid washing, and end groove processing to ensure that the final performance meets the standards.
SMLSCO is your trusted pipe fitting partner in the oil and gas industry. Our pipe fittings factory has passed ISO, PED, and the rigorous NORSOK M650 certification for the Norwegian petroleum industry, demonstrating our ability to meet the highest industry standards. We have a regular inventory of 150 tons of pipe fittings to ensure delivery within two weeks for standard sizes. All pipe fittings undergo 100% non-destructive testing and provide complete traceable quality records to help you purchase with peace of mind and win more market opportunities.
Equal Tee is a type of butt welded pipe fitting used to create a 90° branch on a main pipeline. Its characteristic is that the three ports of the main and branch pipes have exactly the same diameter, allowing fluid to be diverted or merged without changing the pipe diameter. This design ensures that branch pipelines and main pipelines have the same flow capacity, making it one of the most basic and commonly used connectors for building pipeline networks, collecting or distributing materials.
WP316L is a widely used pipe material in the oil and gas industry. The molybdenum element it contains gives it stronger resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion than 304L when dealing with chloride containing media such as seawater and formation water. At the same time, the "L" level low-carbon characteristics ensure that the heat affected zone can still maintain excellent corrosion resistance after welding, which is crucial for ensuring the long-term integrity of the welding connection point. Therefore, it provides a reliable and economical material selection for oil and gas pipelines in moderately corrosive environments.
In the oil and gas industry, WP316L equal diameter tees are key nodes in the pipeline network system. They are widely used in onshore gathering and transportation pipelines, processing plant process pipelines, and public engineering systems on offshore platforms, for connecting branch lines, setting instrument ports, or collecting multiple incoming flows. Its reliable butt welding connection form and material properties can ensure the safety and sealing of the pipeline system during the transportation of crude oil, natural gas, and process water containing corrosive media, which is an important component for ensuring the safe production of oil and gas.
