Improved upper limits are derived on the possible existence of the [ital T]-violating (time-reversal) part of the tensor weak coupling constants, [ital C][sub [ital T]] and [ital C][sub [ital T]][sup [prime]]. The previous measurements of the electron-neutrino directional correlation in the nuclear beta decay of [sup 6]He are analyzed for sensitivity to [ital T]-violating couplings. The results of the analysis are presented in the context of previous beta decay limits on [ital T]-violating tensor couplings and compared to somewhat similar limits from precision electric dipole moment experiments.
