What is a OLET weld?

What is a OLET weld?

Weldolet®, an economical butt-weld branch connection, is designed to minimize stress concentrations and provide integral reinforcement. manufactured to meet your specific reinforcement requirements.

What is Weldolet welding?

What Does Weldolet Mean? A weldolet is a branch butt-weld connection fitting that is adhered to an outlet pipe to minimize stress concentrations in the piping area.

What is the use of Weldolet?

Weldolets are used to create a 90-degrees (reinforced) pipe branch. The shape of the Weldolet ensures little stress concentration on the branched pipe, providing an integral reinforcement. On the branch pipe side, Weldolets may have the same schedule of the run pipe or a higher schedule.

What is a Latrolet?

Latrolet is a type of self-reinforced branch fitting developed by a Company called Bonney Forge. Latrolet that is used for taking branch which is not at 90 degrees to run pipe. Latrolet comes in 45°or any other special degree as required by the purchaser. Latrolet® is a Registered Trademark of Bonney Forge.

Can you weld a flange to a weldolet?

RE: Weld Neck Flange Welded to Weldolet You can weld anything onto a weldolet so if you have a weld end valve then yes you can do this or directly weld a weldneck flange. There is also a product called a “weldoflange” which is a single forged flange and weldolet as one item which reduces one weld.

How do you size a weldolet?

A weldolet is designated by the run length by the branch length. For example a 6-inch weldolet on a 10-inch pipe would be a 10×6 Weldolet. A weldolet is designed to minimize stress concentrations and provide integral reinforcement without the need for reinforcing the weld.

How do I choose a weldolet?

What is the difference between a weldolet and an Sockolet?

The mainly differences are the connection surface, weldolet ends in plain or beveled to weld on the the branch pipe, sockolet ends in socket type that to insert branch pipe.

How do you size a Weldolet?

What is Weldolet and Sockolet?

Weldolet, Sockolet and Threadolet are olet pipe fittings that can supply an outlet from a larger pipe to a smaller one (or one of the same size). Weldolet has a butt welded connection, threadolet has threaded connection, and sockolet has welded connection.

What is a spool pipe?

A pipe spool refers to a section of a piping system that is prefabricated as smaller segments with flanges and fittings. Pipe spools are often prone to corrosion due to their exposure to the elements, water and other natural electrolytes.

How are fillet welds used in a sockolet?

Fillet welds are used to connect the branch pipe to the branch side of the Sockolet. On the pipe run side, a Sockolet requires a welded connection. What is the difference between a Sockolet and a Weldolet?

What’s the difference between threadolet and weldolet pipe fittings?

Threadolet considered to a threaded fitting, and it is manufactured in 3000 and 6000 classes. The mainly differences are the connection surface, weldolet ends in plain or beveled to weld on the the branch pipe, sockolet ends in socket type that to insert branch pipe. Threadolet is insert branch pipe and with screw connection.

When to use a threadolet or sockolet connection?

Threadolets are used for smaller pipe sizes and low-pressure applications. Latrolets branch a pipe at 45 degrees. They are available with butt weld connections to meet demanding reinforcement requirements or with socket weld/threaded connections in classes 3000# or 6000#.

What’s the difference between weldolet and elbolet welding?

Weldolet’s end is suited for the butt welding connection. Sockolet is the same as weldolet but with socket end. Elbolet is a special type of olets that fits on the elbow surface. It is 90° branch connection and comes in different types of ends that suit for butt welding, socket welding and threaded joint
