Tee is also known as pipe fittings tee or tee fittings, tee joints, etc. It is mainly used to change the direction of the fluid, and is used at the main pipe to the branch pipe. It can be classified by the size of the pipe diameter. Generally, it is made of carbon steel, cast steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum alloy, plastic, argon leach, PVC and other materials.
Tee is one with three openings, i.e. one inlet and two outletsor two inlets, one outlet, a chemical pipe fitting, with T and Y shape, with equal diameter nozzle and reducer nozzle, for the confluence of three identical or different pipelines. Tee joints are commonly used connectors in piping systems to connect three pipes or divide one pipe into two or three, and are commonly used in various fluid piping systems. According to their different functions, tee joints are divided into tee, cross, equal-pass, reducer and other types.
Possible application scenarios of tee connectors in chemical towers: material pipeline connection, various materials (such as raw materials, intermediate products and products) need to be transported through pipelines. Tee connections can be used to connect these pipes to achieve continuous conveying and distribution of materials;Liquid return piping connections, in chemical columns, it is sometimes necessary to return liquid from one site to another. Tee connections can be used to connect return pipes to achieve liquid circulation and reuseGas pipeline connections, in chemical towers, gas pipelines are also essential. Tee connections can be used to connect gas pipelines to achieve gas transmission and distributionThermometer installation, temperature control is very important. The tee connection can be used to install a thermometer to monitor the temperature in the tower in real timeSimilar to the thermometer, the pressure gauge is also an important monitoring instrument in the chemical tower. Tee connections can be used to install pressure gauges for real-time monitoring of pressure in the towerValve installation, which requires the use of a variety of valves to control the flow and pressure in the pipeline. Tee connections can be used to install valves for opening and closing of pipes.
Material of tee connector: The material of tee fitting should be selected according to the use environment and media type. Common materials are cast iron, steel, stainless steel, copper alloy, plastic, etc. Cast iron tees** are more affordable, but rust-prone;Steel and stainless steel have good corrosion performance, but ** is relatively high;The tee joint made of copper alloy has strong corrosion resistance, but it is high;Plastic tees** are inexpensive, but they are prone to aging and deformation.
Tee joint diameter: The diameter of the tee joint should match the diameter of the pipeline in the pipeline system, and the diameter determines the flow rate of the tee joint. When purchasing, the corresponding tee joint diameter should be selected according to the inner diameter of the pipe. If the diameter of the tee joint does not match the diameter of the pipe, it will cause the flow rate of the piping system to decrease and not function properly.
