Stainless threaded tee - this is a part of the pipeline system, which has three outlets with internal threads and connects three sections of the pipe. Each specific situation has its own detail, so they have many varieties that differ in different characteristics.
Stainless threaded tees are divided according to the following parameters:
- equilateral (the most common) and transitional (the hole in the middle has a smaller diameter than the other two, but it is not in demand and is made to order, therefore, in this situation, different transitional parts are used - this is faster and more budget);
- steel grade - AISI 304 (food grade steel, which is suitable in 90% of cases and lasts for many years) and AISI 316 (acid-resistant steel, which is used in chemical and pharmaceutical plants, withstands more aggressive environments - acidic and alkaline).
Before choosing a part, you can find yourself in two situations - simple and complex. In the first case, you already have ready-made parts to which the tee will be wound. Then you can find out their diameters, which are indicated on the body of the products and, in accordance with them, choose the right tee. Typically, the steel grade, product diameter and pressure (mile strength class) are indicated.
In the second situation, you need to make sure that you are dealing with pipe threads, and not metric threads (it is used on hardware - bolts, nuts, etc.). After that, it is necessary to measure the outer diameter of the part to which the tee will be screwed in millimeters, using a caliper or, in extreme cases, a ruler. And during the selection of this part, inform the seller of the size and clarify that it was measured manually, then the specialist will treat the selection more carefully. You can also check the table according to the ISO standard yourself, but then you will need to further understand all these nuances.
