ASME B16.11 Stainless Steel 316 Socket Weld Tee
ASME B16.11 is the specification for forged pipe fittings,including socket weld and threaded type. Material including carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless steel. Also described as Class 2000, 3000, 6000 threaded end fittings. Class 3000, 6000, and 9000 for socket weld end fittings.
Stainless steel 316 socket weld tee is a high pressure pipe fitting in three ways which made by forging from round steel. They are in T-shaped and know as equal tee and reducing tee. It is generally applicable to pipes with nominal diameter less than NPS 2.
Socket Weld Fittings are a family of high pressure forging fittings that used only in conjunction with ANSI Pipe and are available in the same size range.
Even though there are some similarities between the shapes of the two welds, but socket weld is still considered to be different from a fillet weld.
