Tee or Tee connection in piping engineering is a very important pipe fitting and is frequently used to combine or divide a flow. Two types of Tee are available, Equal Tee and Reducing Tee. However, in pigged pipelines, one special type of tee connection is widely used which is known as Barred Tee or Pigged Tee. In this article, we will try to study a few points about Barred Tee and Tee Connections.
Typical Tee and Barred Tee Connection
Tee vs Barred TeeTee is a type of fittings that allows fluid to flow on its main pipe and branch out. The branch can be designed equally the same size as the main pipe (known as Equal Tee), or smaller size than the main pipe (known as Reducing Tee). Barred Tee is a special type of Tee that is based on a normal tee (can be either an equal tee or a reducing tee) that at a later stage, will be added with bar plates inside the branch outlet (From inside it looks like a steel cage) to restrict the pig from flowing from the header pipe into the branch pipes. Design Codes and Standards for Tee and Barred Tee- The international standard dimension of the tee will be covered under ASME B16.9 or MSS-SP 75 (for DN16 and above).

- There is no international standard dimension for the barred tee. It is custom-made using the ASME B16.9/ MSS-SP 75 tee as a base. However, many develop their barred tee based on Shell DEP 31.40.10.13-Gen or ISO 15590-2 standard.
- This design can be a guideline to assess Vendor’s design.
Difference Between Tee and Barred TeeSo from the above discussion, we can summarize the following differences: Parameter | Tee | Barred Tee | Definition | Standard Pipe Fitting | A special type of piping component | Manufacturing | Generally by Extrusion or forging | Mostly Fabricated | Use | Used in both piping and pipeline engineering | used in pipeline engineering near the pig launcher/receiver | Design Code / Standard | ASME B 16.9/MSS SP 75 | Shell DEP 31.40.10.13-Gen or ISO 15590-2 | Production Quantity | Large scale in bulk | Select small quantities (custom-made) | Cost | Cheaper | Costlier than normal Tee |
过球三通
管道通球试验和清管时,过球三通(又名档条三通、清管三通、格栅三通)可以防止卡球事故和引导清管器顺利通过主管线。按照管件口径分一般有等径三通,异径三通等。按照支管方向分有正三通和斜三通。
