Product Brief Introduction
An ASTM A234 WPB NACE-MR0175 ISO 15156 SOUR Tee is a type of pipe fitting used in sour gas service applications. It is made of ASTM A234 grade WPB steel, which is a low-alloy steel that is resistant to sulfide stress cracking (SSC). The fitting is also compliant with NACE-MR0175 and ISO 15156 standards, which ensure that it meets the requirements for use in sour gas service.

About the Reducing Tee
A reducing tee is a type of pipe fitting that features three openings, with one inlet and two outlets of different sizes, arranged in the shape of a “T.” This design allows for the connection of three pipes with varying diameters in a piping system. Reducing tees are commonly used in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications to facilitate the smooth flow of liquids or gases while accommodating the transition between different pipe sizes.
These fittings are available in a variety of materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, and PVC, among others, to suit different requirements and environmental conditions. The installation of reducing tees typically involves inserting the pipes into the respective openings and securing them using appropriate methods such as welding, threading, or compression fittings, depending on the material and design of the tee. reducing tees play a vital role in piping systems by enabling the connection of pipes with different diameters, ensuring efficient flow distribution and system functionality.



What are the requirements for pipe fittings to meet NACE-MR0175 and ISO 15156 standards?
To meet NACE-MR0175 and ISO 15156 standards, pipe fittings must adhere to specific requirements to ensure they are suitable for use in environments containing hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Some key requirements include:
Material Selection: Pipe fittings must be made from materials that are resistant to sulfide stress cracking (SSC) and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in H2S environments. Common materials that meet these standards include carbon steel, low alloy steel, stainless steel, and nickel alloys.
Hardness Requirements: The hardness of the materials used for pipe fittings must be within specified limits to prevent cracking in H2S environments. Excessive hardness can make the material more susceptible to SSC and SCC.
Heat Treatment: Proper heat treatment processes must be followed to ensure the material properties are suitable for use in sour gas environments. Heat treatment can help improve the resistance of materials to SSC and SCC.
Testing and Certification: Pipe fittings must undergo various tests such as hardness testing, tensile testing, impact testing, and corrosion testing to verify their compliance with NACE-MR0175 and ISO 15156 standards. Certification from accredited bodies is often required to demonstrate compliance.

| Grade | C | Mn | P | S | Si | Cr | Mo | Ni | Cu | V | Nb |
| WPB | 0.3 | 0.29-1.06 | 0.05 | 0.058 | 0.1min | 0.4 | 0.15 | 0.4 | 0.4 | 0.08 | 0.02 |
- The sum of chromium and molybdenum shall not exceed 0.32%.
- The sum of Copper, Ni, Cr, and Mo shall not exceed 1.00%.
- The max carbon equivalent (C.E.) shall be 0.50, based on heat analysis and the formula C.E.=Carbon+manganese/6+(chromium+molybdenum+vanadium)/5+(Nickel+Copper)/15.
- For each reduction of 0.01% below the specified C max, an increase of 0.06% Mn above the specified max will be permitted, up to a max of 1.35%.
