ASTM A234 Grade WPB Butt-Weld Tees

A Butt-Weld Tee is a wrought pipe fitting that facilitates a crucial three-way connection, allowing a branch line to be taken off a main line at a 90° angle. It is joined to the pipe by butt welding, creating a permanent, high-integrity, and leak-proof system. The standard for this fitting material is ASTM A234 Grade WPB, which specifies Wrought Carbon Steel for use in pressure piping and high-temperature service. This material grade is perfectly matched for piping systems that incorporate ASTM A105 flanges, which are secured by ASTM A193 Grade B7 Stud Bolts and their complementary A194 Grade 2H Heavy Hex Nuts. Tees are available as Equal Tees (where all three outlets are the same size) or Reducing Tees (where the branch outlet is smaller). The strength and weldability of A234 WPB ensure that the system maintains its integrity under the severe stresses typical of critical high-pressure lines. Zeron Fasteners offers these tees conforming to ASME B16.9 standards.
