Forged Tee
The tee is a connecting piece in petroleum pipelines, primarily used to link pipelines for(diversion) and (convergence) purposes. Generally, forged tees require good sealing performance, corrosion resistance, and certain strength requirements. As a result, forged tees are not only widely used in the petroleum pipeline industry but also extensively applied in industries such as chemical, power, shipbuilding, and nuclear power.
Characteristics of Forged Tees
Forged tees have many features:
High Strength – Forged tees must withstand the impact of fluid flow in pipelines. Typically, the (die-forging) process ensures tight internal metal bonding, enhancing both strength and toughness.
Precision & Sealing Performance – The die-forging process improves dimensional accuracy and sealing capability, which is crucial for petroleum pipelines.
Strong Corrosion Resistance – Forged tees can be made from corrosion-resistant materials, including:
Carbon steel (e.g., A105, Q235)
Stainless steel (e.g., 304, 316, 321)
Alloy steel (e.g., F11, F22, P91)
The forging process reduces internal defects and surface cracks, extending service life.
Diverse Specifications – Forged tees come in various sizes and models, making them adaptable to a wide range of applications.
Industrial Applications of Forged Tees
Petroleum Industry
Oil & gas transmission pipelines (crude oil, natural gas, refined products).
Drilling equipment (high-pressure mud pipelines, wellhead assemblies).
Refining units (high-temperature & high-pressure alloy tees for cracking, hydrogenation, etc.).
Chemical Industry
Corrosive media diversion (e.g., sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid pipelines).
High-temperature & high-pressure reactor piping systems.
Power Industry
Boiler feedwater systems & high-pressure steam pipelines.
Nuclear power plant cooling systems & radiation-resistant tees.
Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering
Seawater cooling systems & corrosion-resistant stainless steel fuel pipelines.
High-strength alloy tees for deep-sea oil & gas extraction.
Other Industries
Food & Pharmaceuticals: Sanitary stainless steel tees (GMP-compliant).
Municipal Engineering: Carbon steel tees for water supply & heating networks.
When selecting a forged tee, factors such as material and manufacturing process should be tailored to the application. We provide customized forging services based on customer requirements.
