What is an extruded tee?

Extruded Split-tees are manufactured by hot working and forming to make steel flow into a die from a rectangular steel sheet to achieve the tee shape. This process does not involve welding of branch connection with main pipe run; however welding of flange to the Split-tee is still required.

What is a hot tap tee?

Mechanical Hot Tapping Fittings facilitate the connection of new branch pipework to existing infrastructure without the requirement for welding. Mechanical fittings are routinely used to provide a flanged tee branch to enable hot tapping into an existing pipeline while under pressure with no interruption to production.

What is a split tee fitting?

It is a pipeline fitting designed such that the inner diameter of the fitting is the same size as the outside diameter of the pipe that will be hot tapped. As a rule of thumb, a split tee is used when the branch connection is equal to or greater than half the diameter of the run direction.

What is the advantage of hot tapping?

Hot tapping is a process that allows pipeline repairs or expansion to be completed without disrupting normal operations or depressurizing the system. The benefit of hot tapping is that sections of pipeline can be isolated and flow can be stopped with minimal downtime and without stopping production.

How tee is manufactured?

The hydraulic Bulge method is used to manufacture Tee. Cut piece of Pipe is placed in hydraulic die and liquid is fill inside the pipe, Hydraulic pressure pushes out the branch, in the fixed opening in the die. This method gives a good surface finish. However, higher thickness Tee cannot be manufactured by this method.

What is difference between cold tapping and hot tapping?

Hot tapping by my definition is welding onto and cutting into a live line while it remains in service. Cold tapping is joining into a line taken out of service, either by spool replacement between two flanges, with the added branch as you describe, or cutting a tee or O’let into the line by welding.

Can you hot tap a natural gas line?

Hot tapping has found wide application in the oil and gas sector. It is often difficult to shut down pipelines due to disruptions it causes in product supply to customers and other facilities. Hot tapping can be used to tie in new connections to an existing pipeline in operation without disruption to flow.

How do you split t shirts?

1. Fold each tee in half (long ways) and lay them side by side on a flat surface.
2. Fold each tee in half (long ways) and lay them side by side on a flat surface.
3. Cut each tee in half.
4. Cut each tee in half.
5. Grab the two pieces and lay them on top of each other (graphic to graphic).

What can be installed into a line to stop the flow of hazardous materials?

Line Stops can be performed on almost any kind of pipe with pressures or product under pressure. The Line Stop operation consists of a special flanged Line Stop fitting, a temporary valve, and our actuator. The Line Stop fitting is installed and tested, the temporary valve is installed, and the hot tap is completed.
