Polished SS316 Stainless Steel Pipe Fitting Equal Tee For Sanitary

Brief Introduction

Polished stainless steel pipes fittings have a wide range of applications and advantages, suitable for fields such as building decoration, food industry, chemical industry, petroleum and natural gas industry, automotive industry, medical equipment, etc. Its strong corrosion resistance, high surface finish, high strength, good temperature adaptability, easy processing, environmental protection and health characteristics make it an ideal choice for pipe materials. With the continuous development of technology, the application field of polished stainless-steel pipes will further expand and bring more convenience and development opportunities to various industries.

Products Information/Specification:

Features /Characteristics 

1. Strong corrosion resistance: Polished stainless-steel pipes form a dense oxide film due to the addition of chromium, which can effectively prevent the erosion of oxygen, water, and other chemicals, and have strong corrosion resistance.

2. High surface finish: Polished stainless-steel pipes have undergone polishing treatment, resulting in a high surface finish that is as smooth as a mirror and has a certain decorative effect.

3. High strength polished stainless-steel pipes have high strength and hardness due to the addition of certain alloy elements, and can withstand significant pressure and impact.

4. Polished stainless-steel pipes with good temperature adaptability have good high-temperature resistance and can maintain stable performance in high-temperature environments.

5. Easy to process and polish stainless steel pipes with good plasticity and weldability, easy to process into pipes of various shapes and sizes, and easy to manufacture various equipment and components.

6. Environmentally friendly and healthy polished stainless-steel pipes are non-toxic, odorless, and resistant to bacterial growth, meeting environmental and hygiene requirements, and suitable for food, medical and other fields.

Application/Usage

Pipe fittings are widely demanded for any piping and plumbing systems used in industrial and commercial applications. Fittings allow pipes to be joined or installed in the appropriate place and terminated or closed where necessary. Fittings are available in various shapes and sizes. They can be expensive, require time, and different materials and tools to install. They are an essential part of piping and plumbing systems. There are thousands of specialized fittings manufactured. Each type of pipe or tube requires its own type of fitting, but usually all pipe fittings share some common features. Pipe fittings are available everywhere where plumbing materials are sold.

FAQ/ Customer Question and Answers

Q:Customer asked for butt weld fittings in A105:
A: Most common carbon steel buttweld fitting material is A234WPB. It is equivalent to A105 flanges, however there is no such thing as an A105 or A106 butt weld fitting. A106 Gr.B is for pipe grade. The A234WPB fittings are made from A106GR.B pipes. A105 is a material from Bar forged to be High pressure Fittings or Flange

Q: Customer requests “Normalized” butt weld fittings:
A: This is also a misconception since flanges are available in A105 and A105 N, where N stands for normalized.
However, there is no such thing as A234WPBN. Manufactures normalize their butt weld fittings was considered that normalized heat treating process was done, Espeically for the elbows and Tees
Customer needing “normalized” butt weld fittings should request WPL6 fittings which are high yield and are normalized as a standard procedure.

Q: Customer forgets to mention pipe schedule:
A: Buttweld fittings are sold as per pipe size but pipe schedule must be specified to match the ID of the fitting to the ID of the pipe. If no schedule is mentioned, we will assume a standard wall is requested.

Q: Customer forgets to mention welded or seamless butt weld fitting:
A: Butt weld fittings are available in both welded and seamless configuration. A seamless butt weld carbon steel or stainless steel fitting is made of seamless pipe and is generally more expensive.
Seamless pipe fittings are NOT common in sizes bigger than 12”. Welded pipe fittings are made of ERW welded carbon steel or stainless steel pipe. They are available in sizes ½” to 72” and are more affordable than seamless fittings.

Q: What does Short Radius (SR) or Long Radius (LR) means?
A: You will often hear SR45 elbow or LR45 elbow. The 45 or 90 refers to the angle of the bend for buttweld fitting to change the direction of flow.
A long radius elbow (LR 90 Elbow or LR 45 elbow) will have a pipe bend that will be 1.5 times the size of the pipe. So, a 6 inch LR 90 has bending radius that is 1.5 x nominal pipe size.

A short radius elbow (SR45 or SR90) has a pipe bend that is equal to the size of the fitting, so a 6” SR 45 has a bending radius that is 6” nominal pipe size.

Q: What is a 3R or 3D elbow pipe fitting?
A: First, the terms 3R or 3D are used synonymously. A 3R butt weld elbow has a bending radius that is 3 times the nominal pipe size. A 3R elbow is equal to 3D Elbows
