What is a thread O lets?
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’s the difference between weldolet and 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.
When should I use Threadolet?
Threadolets are used for smaller pipe sizes and low-pressure applications.
Why is weldolet used?
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).
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.
What is a reducing Weldolet?
Weldolet is 90° branch connection. It Comes in full size or reducing size (Full size is when you take a branch of the same size as run pipe size for example 3 inch to 3 inch. And reducing size is when branch size is less than run pipe size 3 inch to 1 inch)
How do you size a weldolet?
Is a weldolet a butt weld?
Weldolet is the most common of all branch connections, and is welded onto the outlet pipe. The ends are bevelled to facilitate this process, and therefore the weldolet is considered a butt-weld fitting.
What kind of pipe fitting is threadolet made of?
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.
What are olet fittings and what are they used for?
Olet fittings are a family of forged products used to make 45 or 90 degrees integrally reinforced branch connections (deviations) from a run pipe (also called, header pipe) to a branch pipe (outlet pipe).
What do weldolet, sockolet and threadolet fittings do?
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). (Sockolet as above picture, one one end welded to run pipe, another end welded to branch pipe.)
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.
