The socket weld tee is a forged three-way fitting with recesses that receive the connected pipe ends. Two sockets form the run and the third provides the branch. The pipe is positioned in each recess before the specified socket weld is made. This construction serves compact utility and process lines where the connection size, material and pressure class are defined together. Equal and reducing forms offer different branch diameters. Carbon, stainless and alloy steel options are listed for the range. Once welded, the tee becomes a permanent part of the pipe assembly, with the chosen grade matched to its operating temperature and medium.

Main Applications
The socket weld tee branches small-bore refinery and process piping.
Power and utility lines use a material and pressure class accepted by the piping design.
Compact equipment connections can place the branch within limited installation space.
Several small branches can belong to one equipment package while using different materials or pressure classes. Keeping each connection associated with its line specification helps organize the fabricated assembly.
Why choose us
We prepare socket weld tee orders around the specified standard, pressure class and material grade. These details are confirmed together because small forged fittings can look similar while serving different line requirements. Our wooden-crate packing keeps the ordered items organized for shipment. For mixed piping packages, the agreed size and class provide a clear basis for production, receiving and issuing the correct fittings to the installation team.
Please list the required material grade against each pressure class so visually similar forged fittings remain distinguishable throughout a mixed piping order.
FAQ
Q: Can the joint be removed without cutting?
A: No. Socket welding makes a permanent pipe connection.
Q: Are several pressure classes available?
A: Yes. The range lists 3000, 6000 and 9000 classes.
Q: Does the pressure class alone select the material?
A: No. Temperature and the process medium also determine the required grade.
