SS 316L Tees

An SS 316L Tee is a crucial pipe fitting shaped like the letter 'T' used to divide or combine fluid flow in a main pipe line. It allows a branch line to be taken off at a 90-degree angle to the main run. These fittings are manufactured, often through forging, in two main types: Equal Tee (where the branch diameter equals the run diameter) and Reducing Tee (where the branch is smaller than the run). The designation 316L indicates a low carbon austenitic stainless steel, which is ideal for welded systems because the low carbon content minimizes the risk of intergranular corrosion (sensitization) during welding. The inclusion of Molybdenum ensures the material has outstanding resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in severe, chloride-containing environments. Zeron Fasteners manufactures and supplies high-quality SS 316L Tees conforming to standards like ASME B16.9 and ASTM A403 WP316L, ensuring durable, leak-free branching in the chemical, food processing, and marine industries.
