How to calculate the volume of equal tee?
Equal tee is one of the mostly commonly used pipe fittings,it’s are widely used in many industry.we must calculate the volume when we transport the products.The calculate methods of the equal tee is different for different manufacturing process.
Equal Tee Volume Formula
The volume of equal tees is easier to calculate because their straight shapes can be considered as straight pipes connected to each other.So you can calculate its volume as straight pipes.Therefore, you should know the inside radius of equal tee and its height (or length) of the run and branch.And then insert the values into volume formula for a cylinder and add the results up.
Volume = pi (or 3.14) x radius squared x height.
So you can get approximate volume of equal tee
ASME B16.9 Butt Weld Equal Tee
Sometimes you need to know the volume when you only have the diameter and schedule, or pressure, what should you do?The volume chart can help you solve the problem.
Seamless tee and welded tee (ERW equal tee) are both butt weld tee, the specification standard is ASME B16.9. They have a large size range, so it’s impossible to list all values.
The butt weld equal tee volume only changes with their nominal size,you can quickly find the value of volume.

Socket Weld Equal Tee
It is more like a threaded tee in dimensions, although it is a welded joint similar to a butt welded tee.Sizes range from 1/8 to 4 inches and pressure classes are 3000, 6000, and 9000.The volume of socket welding is related to these two factors.The volume diagram lists the normal nominal dimensions and various pressure ratings within the size range to meet the basic needs of the user.
It is more like threaded tee in dimensions even though it is a weld connection fitting like a butt weld tee. The size range is 1/8 to 4 inch, and pressure rating is Class 3000, Class 6000 and Class 9000. The size and pressure effect the volume of socket weld equal tee.
Threaded Equal Tee
The threaded tee and socket welded tee are forged in accordance with ASME B16.11 standard and have the same dimension range.So their volume diagrams have the same value.
More importantly, all the volumes in the diagram are the volume of the outline and the space taken up by the packaging of a single product.In other words, they are the volume of the packaged product.
There are the calculate the volume of socket weld equal tee and threaded equal tee:
