Titanium butt-weld tees -- equal tees with all three ends the same size, and reducing tees where the branch outlet is smaller than the run.
Titanium pipe tees are butt-weld fittings used to connect three pipe branches at 90 degrees. Two configurations are standard: equal tees, where all three ends have the same nominal pipe size (NPS), and reducing tees, where the branch outlet is smaller than the two run ends. Reducing tees allow a smaller line to branch off a larger main without requiring a separate reducer and tee.
Tees are produced by forging bar or billet stock, then hot-forming and CNC-machining to final dimensions. Supply is reviewed per inquiry against standard, configuration (equal or reducing), NPS (run and branch), schedule, grade and quantity.
Reviewed against your required standard, configuration and nominal pipe sizes.
ASME B16.9 is the primary standard for butt-weld tee dimensions and tolerances. ASME B16.28 for thin-wall fittings. ASTM B363 covers titanium pipe fittings including tees.
Equal tees (NPS all ends same) and reducing tees (branch NPS smaller than run NPS). Custom reducing ratios — e.g. 10x10x6, 12x12x8 — evaluated per inquiry.
Industry Standard: NPS ½ through NPS 24 per ASME B16.9.
Custom Manufacturing: Larger sizes above NPS 24 custom evaluated per forging capacity.
Actual Supply Availability: Confirmed per inquiry against grade, schedule and wall thickness.
Line branching for feed, product and utility connections in corrosion-resistant chemical plants.
Branch connections for distributing and collecting fluid across heat exchanger circuits.
Main-to-branch distribution in desalination, power and industrial process systems.
Reducing tees are designated as Run x Run x Branch. For example, a 6x6x4 tee has NPS 6 run ends and an NPS 4 branch outlet. Always specify all three sizes when ordering a reducing tee.
Yes — reducing tees are designated Run x Run x Branch; e.g. 6x6x4 means both run ends are NPS 6, branch is NPS 4. Custom reducing ratios — such as 10x10x5 or 12x12x3 — are evaluated per inquiry against forging and forming capacity.
ASME B16.9 is the primary standard for butt-weld tee dimensions. ASME B16.28 covers thin-wall fittings. ASTM B363 provides the material specification for titanium pipe fittings including tees. Confirm the standard at inquiry.
Please specify the standard (e.g., ASME B16.9), configuration (equal or reducing), nominal pipe size(s), schedule, grade and quantity. For reducing tees, include both run and branch sizes. For drawing-based or custom requirements, you may share your drawings with our sales team by email or WhatsApp after initial contact. Include material grade, dimensions, tolerances, quantity and drawing reference.
