Detailed Introduction

National standard tees are produced in accordance with Chinese national standards. Seamless tees comply with GB/T 12459, and steel plate butt-welded tees comply with GB/T 13401. They are core pipe fittings used for flow diversion and convergence in domestic pressure piping systems. Products are divided into equal-diameter tees and reducing tees. DN15 to DN600 are mostly formed by integral seamless stamping, while sizes above DN600 are formed by steel plate die pressing and rolling. Commonly used materials include 20# carbon steel, Q235B, 16Mn, 304 and 316L stainless steel. Wall thickness grades include STD, XS and XXS, corresponding to pressure ratings from PN10 to PN100. Dimensional tolerances, bevels and mechanical properties are implemented according to national standards, and they can be used together with national standard elbows, flanges and reducers. We can provide flaw detection, hydrostatic testing and material spectral testing according to project requirements, along with factory documentation, for domestic engineering inspection applications, bidding and overseas Chinese-funded projects. For specific specifications, materials and testing requirements, please contact us to confirm.

  • Comply with the two national standards GB/T 12459 and GB/T 13401. Nominal diameter, wall thickness and dimensional tolerances are controlled according to national standards. Products of the same specification can be used together with national standard elbows, flanges and reducers.
  • Specifications cover DN15 to DN2000, including equal-diameter tees and reducing tees. Reducing specifications cover mainstream size-reduction combinations, making it convenient to select models according to pipeline branch requirements.
  • Materials cover 20# carbon steel, Q235B, 16Mn, 304 and 316L stainless steel. Wall thickness grades include STD, XS and XXS, suitable for pressure ratings from PN10 to PN100.

Lead TimeOur factory has large-scale mass production workshops for national standard pipe fittings and massive in-stock reserves, with an in-stock coverage rate exceeding 98%, and can rapidly respond to the delivery needs of domestic and overseas Chinese-invested projects. DN15-DN600 conventional equal-diameter and reducing national standard carbon steel and stainless steel tees are sufficiently in stock. After order confirmation, sorting, quality inspection, fine packaging, and loading for shipment can be completed within 24-48 hours, rapidly
PackagingNational standard tees adopt standardized protective packaging commonly used in domestic engineering and export, taking into account both rough transportation at domestic construction sites and the protection needs of foreign trade ocean shipping, comprehensively preventing bevel collisions, pipe end deformation, surface rust, and transportation wear. Small-diameter precision national standard tees are equipped with high-strength plastic protective caps at both ends, sealing the pipe ends to protect the welding bevels, preventing the entry of impurities and damage from edge collisions; the exterior is independently wrapped with multiple layers of waterproof film and bubble film to achieve shockproof and moisture-proof protection. Small and medium-sized standard tees are classified and packed into thickened export cartons, clearly marked with national standard, DN specification, material, pressure rating, and production batch, neatly classified to prevent mixed loading and confusion. Large-diameter, thick-wall high-pressure, and heavy-duty national standard tees are wrapped overall with anti-rust stretch film, with an outer layer of rainproof cloth for protection, and the bottom

FAQ

What standards do national standard tees implement?

Seamless tees implement GB/T 12459, and steel plate butt-welded tees implement GB/T 13401. These two standards specify nominal diameter, wall thickness, dimensional tolerances, and bevels, and products are produced and inspected according to them.

Can national standard tees of the same specification be interchanged?

When the DN, wall thickness, and pressure rating are the same, the dimensional parameters of national-standard tees are consistent and they can be universally replaced without on-site pipe modification. Products of different standards or non-standard products are not included in this.

Are regular specifications in stock? What is the lead time?

DN15 to DN600 regular equal-diameter and reducing carbon steel and stainless steel tees are in ample stock. After order confirmation, sorting, quality inspection, packaging, and loading for shipment are completed within 24 to 48 hours. For other materials, large diameters, or customized specifications, please contact us to confirm production scheduling and delivery time.

What is the minimum order quantity?

Regular 20# carbon steel and 304 stainless steel mainstream in-stock tees have an MOQ as low as 1 piece, suitable for sporadic on-site replenishment and single-piece replacement. For the MOQ of other materials and specifications, please contact us to confirm.

What inspection and factory delivery documents can be provided?

For specific testing items and the documentation list, please confirm with us before placing an order.

Do you support customization?

Supports customization on the basis of national standards, including thickening, non-standard size matching for reducing diameters, extension with straight sections, bevel angle adjustment, material upgrades, and anti-corrosion treatment. Please provide drawings or specific parameters, and we will assist in confirming the solution.

Can the packaging adapt to export ocean shipping?

The packaging is designed for two scenarios: domestic construction site delivery and foreign trade ocean shipping. Small diameters are fitted with plastic protective caps and waterproof film, small and medium specifications are packed in thickened export cartons, and large diameters use anti-rust wrapping film, rainproof cloth, solid wood pallets, and steel strip reinforcement. The outer packaging can be customized with Chinese and English shipping marks, project names, and customer LOGOs.
