Manufacturing process and features of Flanged Tee

Manufacturing Process:

  • Material Selection : The appropriate materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel are chosen based on application requirements and industry standards.
  • Cutting : The material is cut into the required size using precise cutting techniques to ensure accurate dimensions.
  • Forming : The tee shape is formed using processes such as forging, casting, or machining. This involves creating a T-shaped configuration with the main pipe and a branch at a right angle.
  • Flanging : Flanges are attached to the ends of the tee. This is done either by welding the flanges onto the ends or by forming the flanges integrally with the tee.
  • Welding : If the flanges are welded, high-quality welding processes are employed to ensure strong, leak-free joints. Non-destructive testing methods may be used to inspect the welds.
  • Heat Treatment : The flanged tee may undergo heat treatment processes such as annealing or normalizing to enhance its mechanical properties and ensure strength and durability.
  • Surface Treatment : Surface treatments such as galvanizing, painting, or applying protective coatings are done to protect the tee from corrosion and other environmental factors.
  • Inspection and Testing : The finished product is subjected to rigorous inspection and testing to ensure it meets all dimensional, mechanical, and quality specifications. This includes pressure testing, X-ray inspection, and dimensional checks.

Features of Flanged Tee :

  • Versatile Connection : Provides a right-angle branch in piping systems, facilitating versatile and flexible design.

Frequently Asked Questions

A flanged tee is a type of pipe fitting that has flanges on all three ends, resembling a “T” shape. It is used to combine or split fluid flow in piping systems. The flanges allow for easy assembly and disassembly, providing a secure and leak-proof connection between pipes.

Flanged tees come in a variety of sizes to match different pipe diameters and pressure ratings. Standard sizes are available, and custom sizes can be manufactured to meet specific project requirements.

Flanged tees are installed by bolting the flanges at each end to matching flanges on the pipes or other components in the system. A gasket is placed between the flange faces to ensure a leak-proof seal. Proper alignment and tightening of the bolts are crucial to prevent leaks.

Yes, custom manufacturing solutions for flanged tees are available to meet specific project requirements. Contact us with your detailed specifications, and we will work with you to produce tees tailored to your needs.
