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 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 I order 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)
What is a Threadolet fitting?
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.
How does Weldolet fit on a pipe?
How are they installed? Quite easily: on one side, the fittings (example a Weldolet) is fixed onto the run pipe with a full penetration groove weld and, on the other side, welded (or screwed) on the branch pipe.
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.
