Equal Cross

Equal Cross

The equal cross is one kind of the pipe cross, just like a equal tee, the equal cross means all the 4 ends of the cross are in same diameter. The pipe cross, like a road cross, is the joint of 4 pipes. Receiving the pressure from the 4 pipes, the weld joint between the pipes and cross must be very strong.

The Equal pipe cross can not control the flow direction by its shape, So the four ends of the cross commonly are only one inlet and three outlets, or one outlet and three inlets.

Applications of pipe cross:
Pipe cross are widely used in various commercial and industrial applications. Industrial applications include: Chemical processing, Petroleum, Pulp/paper, Refining, Textile, Waste treatment, Marine, Utilities/power generation, Industrial equipment, Automotive, Gas compression and distribution industries

Equal cross are also recommended for industrial plant fluid power systems.
