A234 WPB Seamless Reducing Tee Delivered to Portuguese Industrial Client
Industrial piping networks across Portuguese process facilities often need branch connections that balance different wall schedules between main lines and smaller off-takes. Haihao Group has recently completed fabrication and shipment of a A234 WPB seamless reducing tee for a Portuguese industrial customer, built with an asymmetric wall thickness configuration to match the project’s exact pressure rating requirements.

This A234 WPB seamless reducing tee features an 8-inch main run with SCH XXS wall thickness, transitioning to a 5-inch branch outlet at heavier SCH160 wall. Formed from A234 WPB wrought carbon steel, the seamless one-piece construction removes the weak points associated with fabricated branch joints, delivering reliable structural integrity for general process and utility piping systems. Both the run and branch ends are precision beveled to align with matching pipe wall dimensions, streamlining on-site welding and reducing installation time.
Every A234 WPB seamless reducing tee goes through controlled surface preparation and non-destructive evaluation before leaving our facility. The entire fitting receives a uniform shot blast finish to remove mill scale and produce a clean, consistent surface ready for field coating. Full magnetic particle inspection is carried out across the body, crotch and end zones to identify any surface or subsurface flaws, ensuring long-term leak-free performance.
All dimensional and material properties are verified against ASME B16.9 tolerances. For our European clients, including this Portuguese operator, we supply full material test certificates and inspection reports to support project QA and compliance procedures. Additional testing, documentation or custom surface coatings can be arranged to meet specific project requirements.
Haihao Group manufactures a complete line of carbon steel butt weld fittings for European industrial and energy projects. From standard run sizes to custom mixed-schedule configurations like this A234 WPB seamless reducing tee, our team can deliver fittings matched to your exact piping specifications.
