Socket weld tees provide a stronger, more permanent connection that is far more resistant to leaks and mechanical vibrations, making them superior for high-pressure and critical safety applications.
For corrosive environments, we recommend Stainless Steel (304/304L or 316/316L) or specific Alloy Steel grades depending on the medium being transported.
We adhere to ASME B16.11 standards and conduct rigorous non-destructive testing, including Penetrant Testing (PT) and Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) to ensure structural integrity.
Our socket weld tees are available in Class 2000 (PN 33), Class 3000 (PN 50), Class 6000 (PN 100), and Class 9000 (PN 150).
They are widely used in petrochemical refineries, power plants, LNG projects, offshore marine engineering, and pharmaceutical clean-piping systems.
Regularly inspect joints for signs of corrosion, stress cracks, or deformation. In high-temperature settings, monitor for material creep to ensure continued safety.
