What is the pipe tee?

PIPE TEE is mainly used to change the direction of the fluid and is used in the main pipe to branch.It can be classified according to size of pipe.It is made of carbon steel, cast steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum alloy, plastic, argon, PVC and so on.

classification

By process
1. Hydraulic bulging
The hydraulic expansion of Pipe Tee is a forming process of expanding the branch Pipe through the axial compensation of metal materials.The process is to use special hydraulic machine, and Pipe Tee equal diameter tube billet inside the injection liquid, through the two horizontal side of the hydraulic cylinder synchronization of the motion of tube billet, billet after squeezed smaller volume, smaller volume of liquid with the tube billet inside the tube billet and pressure, when reach the Pipe Tee branch Pipe bulging out the required pressure, the metal material in the liquid in the cylinder and the Pipe pressure under the dual role of flow along the mold cavity and the branch Pipe.
Pipe Tee's hydraulic bulging process can be formed once, and the production efficiency is high.Pipe Tee's supervisor and shoulder wall thickness increased.
Due to the large tonnage of equipment required for the hydraulic bulging process of seamless Pipe Tee, it is mainly used in the manufacturing of standard wall Pipe Tee with less than DN400.Its applicable forming materials are low carbon steel, low alloy steel, stainless steel, including some non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminum, titanium, etc.
2. Hot pressing
Pipe Tee hot pressure forming is the Pipe blank which is greater than Pipe Tee diameter, compressed to the size of Pipe Tee diameter, opening a hole in the part of the drawing branch Pipe;After heating, the tube is put into the forming die, and the punching die of the drawing tube is loaded into the tube.Under the action of pressure, the billet is compressed by the radial direction. In the radial compression, the metal flows in the direction of the branch pipe and forms a branch under the stretching of the die.The whole process is formed by the radial compression of the billet and the stretching process of the branch pipe.Unlike the hydraulic expansion Pipe Tee, the metal of the Pipe Tee is compensated by the radial motion of the tube billet, so it is also called radial compensation technology.
Due to the use of heating to suppress Pipe Tee, the equipment tonnage required for material shaping is reduced.Hot pressure Pipe Tee has wide adaptability to materials, suitable for low carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless steel materials.In particular, Pipe Tee with large diameter and thick Pipe wall is usually used in this forming process.
