Stainless steel tees are fittings and pipe connectors. Used at the branching point of the main pipeline. Stainless steel tees can be divided into equal diameter and reduced diameter, and the connecting ends of equal diameter tees are of the same size; The main pipe of the reducing tee has the same connecting size, while the connecting size of the branch pipe is smaller than that of the main pipe.
Stainless steel tee is a type of pipe fitting used at pipeline branches. For the production of tees using seamless pipes, there are currently two commonly used processes: hydraulic bulging and hot pressing forming. Hydraulic bulging of stainless steel tees is a forming process that uses axial compensation of metal materials to expand branch pipes. The process involves using a dedicated hydraulic press to inject liquid into a tube blank with the same diameter as the tee. The two horizontal side cylinders of the hydraulic press move synchronously to center and squeeze the tube blank. The volume of the tube blank decreases after being squeezed, and the pressure of the liquid inside the tube blank increases as the volume of the tube blank decreases. When the pressure required for the expansion of the stainless steel tee branch pipe is reached, the metal material flows along the mold cavity under the dual action of the side cylinder and the liquid pressure inside the tube blank to expand the branch pipe.
