Carbon Steel Tee
Carbon Steel Tee
Carbon steel tee plays vital components in piping systems, widely used across various industries for their strength, durability, and ability to handle high-pressure applications. These fittings are designed to connect three sections of pipe, enabling the distribution or redirection of fluid flow. Their utility spans industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, power plants, and water treatment facilities.
