Both equal-diameter tees and reducing tees are pipe fittings used to connect three pipes at right angles, but their uses are different:
1. Equal diameter tee:
- An equal-diameter tee has three openings of the same size, allowing the same volume of fluid to flow through each branch. It is typically used when all three pipes require the same diameter and flow rate.
2. Reducing tee:
- The reducing tee has one inlet and two outlets of different sizes and can connect pipes of different diameters. It is used when the flow in one branch needs to be different from the flow in the other two branches, such as when a larger pipe needs to be reduced to a smaller size, or vice versa.
