Description

An equal tee is a type of pipe fitting that has three openings of the same size and shape, arranged at right angles to each other. The ends of the tee are all the same diameter, which means that the flow rate through each opening is equal.

Equal tees are commonly used in piping systems where there is a need to divide the flow of fluid or gas into two or more equal streams. They are also used in applications where the flow needs to be redirected, such as in a cooling system or a ventilation system.

Equal tees are available in a range of materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, and various alloys, and they can be found in a range of sizes and thicknesses to suit different applications. The material and size of the tee must be selected based on the specific requirements of the system, including the temperature and pressure of the fluid or gas being transported, as well as the environmental conditions in which the system operates.

In addition to standard equal tees, there are also various specialized types of equal tees available, such as reducing tees, which have one opening larger than the other two, and barred tees, which have a metal bar between two of the openings to prevent flow through that branch.
