What is the difference between weldolet and Threadolet?
A threadolet has the same basic design as a weldolet. However the main difference is the fitting has a female threaded connection to link to the branch connection. This makes a 90° branch and comes in full size or reducing for a straight piece of pipe.
How do you specify 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.
What is run size in weldolet?
Conventional Run Size Combinations
| Standard Weight Weldolet, Extra Strong Weldolet, | ||
|---|---|---|
| Class 3000 Thredolet, Class 3000 Sockolet, Extra Strong Nipolet | ||
| Run Sizes | 36-14 | |
| flat | ||
| Outlet sizes 8, 10, 12, 14, 16. 18, 24, 26. 20 order to specific size combination. |
What is the use of Threadolet?
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).
What is Sweepolet?
Sweepolet® is a contoured, integrally reinforced, butt-weld branch connection with a low stress intensification factor for low stresses and long fatigue life. The attachment weld is easily examined by radiography, ultrasound and other standard non-destructive techniques.
What is a Flatolet?
Flatolet is a regular olet engineered to go on a large radius, essentially flat, header. The basic design of a flatolet is same except the flat base.
What is weldolet joint?
Weldolets are the most popular type of branch fittings, belong to the buttweld fittings family, and are available in a wide range of dimensions. A Weldolet has beveled ends at both ends and is, therefore, welded onto the run pipe on one side and onto the branch pipe on the other side.
How does a weldolet work?
Weldolets are used to provide an outlet area from a larger to a smaller pipe connection point. The weldolet is welded to the larger pipe (the run) and connected to the smaller pipe (the branch).
Where is Sweepolet used?
Designed to provide smooth flow transition from the run pipe to the branch pipe, Sweepolets® are typically used in large size branch connections. This butt-weld branch connection is also contoured and integrally reinforced to lower stress intensification factors.
What is a Sweepolet?
What’s the difference between a Sockolet and weldolet?
What is the difference between a Sockolet and a Weldolet? Sockolets belong to the “socket fittings” family and are available in classes 3000#, 6000# and 9000#, whereas Weldolets are buttweld fittings. Sockolets are used for lower pressure applications, and smaller pipe diameters, than Weldolets.
What is difference between Sockolet and weldolet?
Fillet welds are utilized to connect the branch pipe to the branch side of the Sockolet. A Sockolet requires a welded connection on the pipe run side. Weldolet is Compatible with higher pressure and simple connection, cost lower. Sockolet Greater pressure is compatible, but the expense is higher.
What is an OLET in piping?
Olet Fittings (also called Branch Connection Fittings or Outlet Fittings) are fittings which provide an outlet from a larger pipe to a smaller one (or one of the same size). The main pipe onto which the branch connection is welded is usually called the Run or Header size.
