What is socket weld tee

Socket weld tee is maked 90° branch from the main run of pipe. Socket weld tee is extensively used for the attachment of end sections of pipes to regulate the consistent flow of liquids or gases.

The most common socket weld tees have the same inlet and outlet sizes, but ‘Reducing’ socket weld Tees are available as well.

As Socket weld tee can also be used in place of thread fittings, so there will exist much smaller leakage. Although they are used in many industries, we should note that as socket weld tees are not available for Ultrahigh Hydrostatic Pressure (UHP) in food industry, which may produce virtual leaks.
