Barred Tee - Internal Bar Material
Barred Tee - Internal Bar Material
(OP)
I am looking for some guidance on the material specification to be used for internal bar stock that a client has requested to be welded on the branch connection of a 6" Sch. 80 straight tee. The line in question is an above ground riser built to CSA.Z662. The material spec of the straight tee is low temp sour service SA420-WPL6. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Personally I don't like bars as the welding is often difficult and testing is next to impossible. A set of plate bars with a long fillet weld on a spool piece which then fits on the branch is much more solid and reliable than simple bars.
