Product Detail
Product Introduction
Titanium tees are a branch-fitting family that includes equal tees and reducing tees. The page is a selection hub: choose the branch configuration first, then define titanium grade, run NPS or OD, branch size, wall or schedule, center-to-end dimensions, weld ends, construction route and inspection.
What information distinguishes a titanium tee?
Selection answer: A titanium tee creates a branch connection and must be identified as equal or reducing. The run and branch sizes, wall or schedule, center-to-end dimensions, grade and manufacturing route control the order.
Selection boundary: Do not treat an equal tee and reducing tee as interchangeable. Branch reinforcement, formed or fabricated construction, weld seams, flow direction and piping-code acceptance must match the design.
RFQ data to confirm: Provide equal or reducing type, run and branch NPS or OD, wall or schedule, grade, dimensional standard or drawing, seamless or welded route, bevel, pressure and temperature, quantity, NDE and documents.
Product Specifications
| Product | Titanium Tee | Material Options | Titanium Grade 2, Grade 7 or Grade 12 as specified |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forms | Equal tee or reducing tee | Typical Inquiry Range | NPS 1/2 to 24 typical standard inquiry range; branch and run sizes must be stated |
| Product Standard | ASTM B363 / ASME SB363 where applicable | Dimensional Basis | ASME B16.9, ASME B16.11 or approved drawing as applicable |
| Wall | Schedule or nominal wall thickness matched to the connected pipe and design | Ends | Butt-weld bevel or drawing-defined ends |
| Manufacturing | Seamless, welded, formed, forged, machined or fabricated as specified | Surface | Pickled, cleaned, machined or project-specific finish |
| Inspection | Visual, dimensions, wall, ends and specified NDT | Documents | MTC, heat/lot traceability and inspection report |
Typical ranges are quotation guidance, not a stock guarantee. Final availability and tolerances are confirmed against the complete RFQ and design code.
Selection and Configuration
- Equal tee: Run and branch have the same nominal size; confirm wall and end preparation at all three ends.
- Reducing tee: The branch is smaller than the run; state run size, branch size and schedule or wall separately.
- Flow and layout: Define whether flow divides or combines, branch orientation, dimensional standard and any project-specific center-to-end limits.

Services We Can Provide
Product Packaging
Fittings are capped or wrapped to protect clean ends, bevels, threads and machined faces. Items are separated by grade, size and heat/lot, then packed in reinforced cartons or export cases according to geometry and quantity.
Application Scenarios
Chemical Processing
Corrosion-resistant piping for acids, chlorides and process media after grade compatibility review.
Power & Energy
Cooling-water, condenser and auxiliary piping requiring traceable titanium components.
Marine & Desalination
Seawater and chloride-bearing piping systems designed for the selected titanium grade.
FAQ
Is every titanium tee an equal tee?
No. Titanium tee is the product family. An equal tee has the same run and branch size, while a reducing tee has a smaller branch.
Which three dimensions must be stated?
State both run ends and the branch size, with wall or schedule and center-to-end dimensions.
Can an equal tee replace a reducing tee?
Only with a separately designed reducer and adequate space. The piping design, flow path and stress analysis control.
