Description
A barred tee, also known as a branch connection tee or a welded outlet tee, is a type of piping fitting tee with a branch connection that is perpendicular to the run of the tee. The branch connection is typically smaller than the main pipe size and is welded to the side of the tee.
What sets a barred tee apart from a standard tee is the inclusion of a solid barrier or “bar” between the branch and the run of the tee. This bar helps to reinforce the branch connection and reduce stress on the joint. Barred tees are commonly used in high-pressure and high-temperature piping systems, particularly in oil and gas industries.
The manufacturing process for barred tees involves welding a solid bar to the outside of the main pipe and then cutting a hole through the pipe to create the branch connection. The bar helps to reinforce the connection and prevent cracking or failure under high stress or pressure. The branch connection is then welded to the side of the tee, creating a strong and reliable joint.
Barred tees can be made from a variety of materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and other alloys, depending on the specific requirements of the piping system. They are available in a range of sizes and thicknesses to accommodate various piping applications.
