ASTM A234 WPB B16.9 Carbon Steel Equal Tee
The ASTM A234 WPB Tee are carbon steel pipe tees that have the capacity to connect three pipes or other fittings.

Carbon steel fittings are a commonly used type of pipe fitting in a wide range of piping systems.
Carbon steel has excellent mechanical properties, allowing it to withstand high pressure and loads. This makes carbon steel fittings suitable for use in various industrial applications such as oil and gas, power, and machinery.

Carbon steel fittings undergo special manufacturing processes, with the surface galvanized or painted, to effectively resist general chemical corrosion and oxidation.

Carbon steel fittings have a wide operating temperature range, able to withstand temperatures from -20°C to 500°C, meeting the requirements of various high-temperature applications.
