The ASTM A182 F316/L Equal Tee is a pipe fitting designed to create a junction where three pipes meet, with all three branches being of equal size. Made from F316/L stainless steel, this tee fitting is ideal for applications requiring high corrosion resistance and excellent performance at elevated temperatures. The “L” in F316/L indicates a lower carbon content compared to standard F316, which improves its weldability and reduces the risk of sensitization during welding. This makes it particularly suitable for industries such as chemical processing, marine, and petrochemical applications, where the integrity and durability of the fitting are crucial. The Equal Tee facilitates the distribution of flow in multiple directions and ensures a smooth flow transition with minimal pressure loss.
