Stainless Steel 303 Split Tee Pipe Fittings

Stainless Steel 303 Split Tee Pipe Fittings are composed of 18% chromium, 8-10% nickel, and 0.15-0.3% Sulphur, making them corrosion-resistant stainless steel alloy. The combination of chromium and nickel helps to make this type of pipe solid and immune to wear caused by oxidation and high-temperature exposure. It is considered an economical alternative compared to the higher grade alloys, such as 304 since the element content is slightly lower while retaining its strength. Stainless 303 Steel Split Tee Pipe Fittings have excellent static Yield strength and superior weldability with good resistance against pitting due to their low carbon content and higher nitrogen concentrations. This makes them ideal for use in electrical work, plumbing applications, general fabrication, and high-pressure environments that require excessive flow rates.

The use of 303 stainless steel tees depends on the industry in which it would be used. For instance, the food and beverage industry uses this steel tee because it does not rust easily. This is due to the high levels of chromium in the steel. Another example would be in the pharmaceutical industry, where 303 stainless steel tees are also commonly used because they can avoid cross-contamination. In addition, 303 stainless steel tees have good weldability properties and can be fabricated easily.
