Create ASME B16.9 Tee in inventor (2019)

BryanEvans2179 — Thu, 28 May 2020 10:44:15 GMT

I am working on a project which requires the use of wroght ASME B16.9 tees (straight tees and reduced). the problem is that when I use the library items, they show a piece of straight pipe with another straight pipe added at a 90 degree angle, so the intersection is a right angle without a transition. When these are purchased, there is a transition on the interface between the 2 sections. I am trying to create a tee which properly represents this design. The problem is that the profile changes as the transition progresses around the branch pipe.

Can someone point me in the direction of how to build this configuration in Inventor (or to a library which has the desired configuration)?

Thank you in advance.

This should be relatively easy to model.

Can you Attach the *.ipt file of your attempt here?

My attempt was very messy. I will generate a clean one and post it.

Jeffrey,

Thank you for saying this should be easy. I was trying to make it much more complicated than it needed to be. I was able to come up with a simple solution for this by just using a fillet on the interface between the 2 pipes.

If there is a better way to do this, I would be interested in knowing it.

Thanks again.
