Carbon Steel SCH40 Butt Weld Tee

Carbon Steel SCH40 Butt Weld Tee

A Carbon Steel SCH40 Butt Weld Tee is a type of pipe fitting used to connect three pipes in a piping system, featuring a Schedule 40 (SCH40) wall thickness and butt-weld connections with the following properties:

  • Carbon Steel: Made from steel that contains carbon as the primary alloying element, providing strength and durability.
  • SCH40 (Schedule 40): Refers to the wall thickness of the pipe fitting, which is standardized according to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
  • Butt Weld Tee: A type of tee fitting that features butt-weld connections, allowing for a strong and leak-tight bond between the connected pipes.

Key Features:

  • Schedule 40 Wall Thickness: Features a standardized wall thickness, providing a balance between strength, durability, and cost.
  • Butt-Weld Connections: Features butt-weld connections, allowing for a strong and leak-tight bond between the connected pipes.
  • Three-Pipe Connection: Connects three pipes in a piping system, allowing for changes in direction and flow.
  • Carbon Steel Construction: Made from carbon steel, providing strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion.
