AELQ Barred Tee In Pipeline

Barred Tee In Pipeline

A barred tee is a specialized type of pipe fitting used in pipeline systems to regulate the flow of fluids and prevent solid particles from entering branch connections. It is essentially a standard tee fitting with an internal barred restriction (or grating) across the branch opening, allowing only fluid flow while blocking large particles or debris.

 

Barred tees are commonly used in pigging systems, where pipeline inspection gauges (pigs) are inserted to clean or inspect pipelines. The bars prevent the pig from entering the branch line, ensuring it continues through the main pipeline.

 

Prevents Pig Intrusion: Ensures pigs stay on the main pipeline route without diverting into branches.

Customizable Design: Available in various sizes, materials, and bar configurations to match pipeline requirements.

Enhanced Durability: Constructed from high-strength materials like carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel for long-term performance.

Smooth Fluid Flow: The design minimizes pressure drop and ensures efficient fluid movement.
