What is a Threadolet used for?
Threadolet is a type of self-reinforced branch fitting developed by a Company called Bonney Forge. It is used whenever threaded branch connections are required from the pipe header. Mostly, it is used for small size piping with a low-pressure application. Threadolets are available in full size or reducing size.
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.
How do you specify 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 a flat Threadolet?
This is a threaded connection used for making 90 degree branching from the main run of pipe. Flat thredolets are used on welding caps, elliptical heads and flat surfaces. Each outlet size is available to fit any run curvature. Outlet sizes fit a number of run pipe sizes, and fittings are marked accordingly.
What is an Elbolet?
Elbolet is a type of self-reinforced branch fitting developed by a company called Bonney Forge. It is used on Long Radius Elbow for instrument connections such as thermowell. Elbolet® is Registered Trademark of Bonney Forge.
What’s the difference between a Sockolet and an 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 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.
What is a Class 3000 fitting?
The class 3000 fittings consist of multiple components made of stainless steel, like 90-degree elbow, straight and reducing tee, cross, steel pipe coupling, cap, union, and lateral. The Class 3000 Stainless Steel Fittings are used only in conjunction with the ANSI pipes, which are available in a similar size range.
What kind of threading is used in thredolets?
The threading is generally of the NPT type and conforms to the ASME B1.20.1 specification. Thredolets belong to the “threaded fittings” family and are available in classes 3000# and 6000#. Threadolets are used for smaller pipe sizes and low-pressure applications.
Which is threadolet end for a threaded connection?
Threadolet ’s end is suited for the threaded connection. This olet is available in class 3000 and class 6000 pressure-temperature ratings. Threadolet® is a Registered Trademark of Bonney Forge.
What’s the difference between threadolet and NPT pipe threads?
Threadolet end is generally NPT type (National Pipe Thread) in accordance with American standard. Typically, it is welded to holes drilled or burned in the pipe. Threadolet considered to a threaded fitting, and it is manufactured in 3000 and 6000 classes. Differences between Weldolet, Sockolet, Threadolet
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#.
