Equal Tee / Reducing Tee / Lateral Tee

Buttweld Tees – Equal, Reducing & Lateral Tees for industrial pipelines – seamless & welded, beveled ends as per ASME B16.9, MSS-SP-75, DIN 2615. Available in SS304/316, ASTM A234 WPB, Duplex, Inconel & more, Ready stock available for bulk purchase.

Bhavani Industries is a leading manufacturer and supplier of high-performance Buttweld Tees, designed for use in a wide range of industrial piping systems. A buttweld tee is a critical fitting that allows for the diversion, distribution, or combination of fluid flow at a 90-degree intersection. We manufacture and supply various types of tees, including Equal Tees, Reducing Tees, and Lateral Tees, each suited for specific flow configurations and process requirements. Equal tees have all three outlets of the same size and are commonly used to divide flow evenly, while reducing tees connect pipes of different diameters, making them ideal for pressure or flow adjustments. Lateral tees, which branch off at a 45-degree angle, are often used in applications where smoother flow transitions are required or when space constraints limit traditional 90-degree branches.

These tees are manufactured in sizes ranging from ½” to 48” (DN15 to DN1200) and wall thicknesses from SCH 5 to SCH 160 / XXS, covering low-pressure to high-pressure service conditions. All buttweld tees are produced in accordance with international standards such as ASME B16.9, ASTM A403, ASTM A234, MSS-SP-75, and EN 10253, ensuring consistency in wall thickness, dimensional accuracy, and structural integrity. We use various forming processes, including cold forming, hot forming, hydraulic bulging, and machining, depending on material type and project specifications. Bevel ends are finished as per ANSI B16.25 to facilitate seamless welding during installation.

Bhavani Industries manufactures buttweld tees using high-grade materials, including Stainless Steel (SS 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 321, 347, 904L), Carbon Steel (ASTM A234 WPB, WPC), Alloy Steel (WP5, WP11, WP22, WP91), and Nickel Alloys (Inconel 600/625, Monel 400, Hastelloy C276, Alloy 20). Each fitting undergoes a comprehensive quality assurance process involving Positive Material Identification (PMI), Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Radiographic Testing (RT), Hydrostatic Testing, and optional Third-Party Inspection to meet stringent application and industry standards. Our tees are widely used in oil & gas pipelines, chemical processing plants, petrochemical refineries, power generation units, water treatment facilities, and offshore structures, offering long-term reliability, corrosion resistance, and mechanical performance in critical flow control systems.

Export-Ready Equal, Reducing & Lateral Tees – Available in SS, CS, Alloy Steel, Duplex. Seamless and welded, Sizes from 1/2" to 48", SCH 10 to XXS, as per ASME B16.9 / MSS-SP-75. Large-scale supply for global markets.
