An SS 310 / 310S tee is a fitting with a 90° branch that splits or combines flow, made from SS 310 / 310S to ASTM A403 WP310S (buttweld) · ASTM A182 F310 (forged). Equal tees have the same size branch as the run; reducing tees have a smaller branch. Barred tees add internal bars so pipeline pigs pass the branch.

When to Choose a Tee
Equal tees have the same size branch as the run; reducing tees have a smaller branch. Barred tees add internal bars so pipeline pigs pass the branch.
- Equal and reducing
- Barred tees for piggable lines
- Buttweld, socket weld or threaded

SS 310 / 310S Tee: Why 310S for tees
Equal tees have the same size branch as the run; reducing tees have a smaller branch. Barred tees add internal bars so pipeline pigs pass the branch. In SS 310 / 310S, the choice usually comes down to the medium and temperature — the rows here are the points buyers check for this exact combination.
| Why this grade | Stainless fittings keep the line clean and corrosion-free. SS 310 / 310S is picked for furnaces, burners and heat treatment at high temperature. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Furnace parts — Muffles, retorts, radiant tubes and conveyor belts. |
| Welding to carbon steel | ER309L (or E309L electrode) is the usual filler when joining it to carbon steel |
| Matching filler | ER310 (AWS A5.9) |

SS 310 / 310S Tee — questions buyers ask
What is a barred tee?
A tee with bars welded across the branch opening so a pipeline pig cannot enter the branch.
Can SS 310 / 310S tees be welded to carbon steel?
Yes — ER309L (or E309L electrode) is the usual filler when joining it to carbon steel.
Which standard covers SS 310 / 310S tees?
The material is ASTM A403 WP310S (buttweld) · ASTM A182 F310 (forged); dimensions follow ASME B16.9 · B16.11. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a SS 310 / 310S tee?
The alloy price, the size and schedule or class, quantity, and the testing and documents required. Send your list and we quote the same working day.
What documents do you supply?
EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 certificates available on request / as specified in the PO; dimensional reports as required. PMI can be arranged depending on product and requirements, as specified in the PO.
