What Is Stainless Steel 316L Pipe Fittings?
The applications of the Stainless Steel 316L Pipe Fittings types vary such as the elbows， bends， tees， valves， adapters and much more. The most used SS 316L Fittings are of smaller pipe sizes. The ASTM A403 WP316L Pipe Fittings could be used with low cost， low pressure applications where the corrosion resistance or pressure containment is less required. The A403 WP316L Elbow would perform under high temperatures but only with a moderate corrosion resistance.
ASME B16.9 ASTM A403 WP316L SMLS RED Tee， like all pipe tees， is in the shape of T with two ends of equal size and the third one slightly smaller. In other words， 316L SMLS RED Tee is a type of pipe fitting in which the branch port size is smaller than the ports of the run. This type of pipe fitting can also consider size reduction from one of the run ports to the other.

What does a reducing tee pipe do?
Reducing tees are used to provide high integrity mechanical connections in various pumping applications. Are widely used for positive pressure and vacuum applications. Used in ultra high purity systems. It features unique machining and surface enhancement which can prevent outgassing and inhibit corrosion.
What is the difference between equal tee and reducing tee?
The equal tee (or straight tee) is used as the branch has the same diameter as the run-pipe. The reducing tee is used as the branch has a smaller diameter as the run-pipe.
