What is a stainless steel tee?

A stainless steel tee is a type of pipe fitting that has a T-shaped design, resembling the letter "T". It is used to divide or combine the flow of fluids in a piping system. The main characteristic of a stainless steel tee is that it has three openings, two on the main pipe run and one perpendicular to the main pipe.Stainless steel tees are commonly used in industries where corrosion resistance, durability, and hygiene are crucial, such as in the food and beverage industry, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and oil and gas industry.

What is grade SS316L/UNS S31603?

Grade SS316L/UNS S31603 is a type of stainless steel that is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, especially in harsh environments. It is a low carbon version of SS316, which means it has better corrosion resistance than SS316 in welded structures due to its reduced carbon content.

This grade is often used in various industries such as chemical processing, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and marine applications due to its superior corrosion resistance properties. It also offers good strength and weldability.
