Production and application scope of diagonal tees
Diagonal tees are mainly used to change the direction of fluids and are commonly used at branch points of main pipelines in fields such as firefighting, shipping, oil and gas transportation, and petrochemicals. Its production and manufacturing require marking, cutting, and welding processes based on the outer diameter and angle of the main and branch pipes.
production and manufacturing
The production of diagonal tees requires processes such as marking, cutting, and welding
Marking lines: Mark positioning lines on the main and branch pipes to ensure accurate angles (such as 45 ° or 75 °).
Cutting: Cut the material according to the marked position, and the branch pipe needs to be fully beveled, with the bevel angle gradually transitioning from 45 ° to 30 °.
Welding: Use fillet welding or butt welding to ensure a tight fit between the branch pipe and the main pipe.
Scope of Application
Industrial piping: used to change the direction of fluids, such as 45 ° branch connections in drainage systems.
Special scenario: commonly seen in angle connections in fire pipes and ship cabin structures.
Diagonal tees made of different materials (such as carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel) are suitable for different working conditions, for example:
Suitable for drainage and water supply systems, with strong corrosion resistance. Used for high-pressure pipelines, resistant to high temperature and pressure.
The core difference between diagonal tees and regular tees
Structural difference: The positive three-way branch pipe is connected to the main pipe at a 90 ° right angle, resulting in high water flow resistance (prone to vortex formation), while the inclined three-way pipe adopts a 45 ° oblique angle design, resulting in a smoother water flow direction.
Application scenarios: Positive tees are suitable for cleaning fluids such as tap water and fire pipes, while diagonal tees are more suitable for easily clogged scenarios such as kitchens and bathrooms, reducing the probability of pollution accumulation.
Installation requirements: For diagonal tees, a higher space should be reserved (ceiling ≥ 45cm), while for regular tees, less space should be occupied.
