The ASTM A182 Grade 316 stainless steel socket weld reducing tee is a fitting used to connect three pipes of different sizes in a piping system, allowing for a change in direction and size in a single component. Made from Grade 316 stainless steel, this tee offers excellent corrosion resistance and high strength, making it suitable for harsh environments such as chemical processing, marine, and petrochemical industries. The Grade 316 alloy, with its composition of 16-18% chromium, 10-14% nickel, and 2-3% molybdenum, provides superior resistance to chloride-induced corrosion compared to other stainless steel grades. The socket weld design ensures a strong and leak-proof connection when welded to the pipe ends. The reducing feature allows for smooth transition between different pipe sizes, minimizing turbulence and pressure loss. The tee is designed to withstand high-pressure applications, with mechanical properties including a tensile strength of at least 515 MPa and a yield strength of 205 MPa.
