Stainless steel tee - the difference between stainless steel seamless oblique tee and stainless steel seamed oblique tee

2025-06-04

Let us now introduce the use of stainless steel oblique tee

The oblique tee in Stainless Steel Pipe fittings is a pipe connection fitting, which is mainly used to change the flow direction of the pipe and connect pipes of different diameters. Its structural characteristics: the branch pipe and the main pipe are not perpendicular to each other, but are connected obliquely at a certain angle (usually 45° or 60°), and the shape is closer to the "Y" type. The angle between the branch pipe and the main pipe of some oblique tees may be adjusted according to actual needs.

Compared with the stainless steel straight tee, the oblique tee is easy to install, simple in structure, and beautiful in appearance; the angle between the branch pipe and the main pipe is smaller, the fluid turning is smoother, the water flow resistance and turbulence are significantly reduced, and the noise can be effectively reduced and the fluid stability can be maintained. It can reduce the pipeline resistance and improve the flow performance of the system.

Let's talk about the difference between stainless steel seam bevel tees and stainless steel seamleSs Tees

Processing technology:

Stainless steel seam bevel tees are welded with steel plates and require multiple welding, grinding and surface treatment processes; while stainless steel seamless bevel tees are processed from a whole steel pipe and do not require welding and multiple processing processes.

Appearance quality:

Stainless steel seam bevel tees are prone to weld seams during welding, and the appearance quality is relatively poor, requiring post-processing and surface treatment; while stainless steel seamless bevel tees have beautiful appearance quality and no obvious seams.

Installation requirements:

The construction of stainless steel seam bevel tees requires special welding equipment and technicians, and the workload is large, while the installation of stainless steel seamless bevel tees does not require additional welding and grinding processes, and the installation is more convenient and quick.

1. The center positions of the two ends are different

The center points of the two ends of the stainless steel eccentric reducer are not on the same axis.

The center points of the two ends of the stainless steel concentric reducer are on the same axis.

2. Different operating environments

One side of the stainless steel eccentric reducer is flat. This design facilitates exhaust or liquid drainage and facilitates maintenance. Therefore, it is generally used for horizontal liquid pipelines.

The center of the stainless steel concentric reducer is on a line, which is conducive to fluid flow and has less interference with the flow pattern of the fluid during diameter reduction. Therefore, it is generally used for diameter reduction of gas or vertical liquid pipelines.

3. Different installation methods

Stainless steel eccentric reducers are characterized by simple structure, easy manufacturing and use, and can meet a variety of pipeline connection needs. Its application scenarios mainly include:

Horizontal pipe connection: Since the center points of the two ends of the stainless steel eccentric reducer are not on the same horizontal line, it is suitable for the connection of horizontal pipes, especially when the pipe diameter needs to be changed.

Pump inlet and regulating valve installation: The top flat installation and bottom flat installation of the stainless steel eccentric reducer are suitable for the installation of the pump inlet and regulating valve respectively, which is beneficial to exhaust and discharge.

Stainless steel concentric reducers are characterized by less interference to fluid flow and are suitable for reducing the diameter of gas or vertical liquid pipelines. Its application scenarios mainly include:

Gas or vertical liquid pipeline connection: Since the center of the two ends of the stainless steel concentric reducer is on the same axis, it is suitable for the connection of gas or vertical liquid pipelines, especially where diameter reduction is required.

Ensure the stability of fluid flow: The stainless steel concentric reducer has little interference with the fluid flow pattern during the diameter reduction process and can ensure the stability of the fluid flow.

4. Selection of eccentric reducers and concentric reducers in practical applications

In actual applications, appropriate reducers should be selected according to the specific conditions and needs of pipeline connections. If you need to connect horizontal pipes and change the pipe diameter, choose stainless steel eccentric reducers; if you need to connect gas or vertical liquid pipes and change the diameter, choose stainless steel concentric reducers.
