Where is Sweepolet used?

SWEEPOLET. Sweepolets are contoured, integrally reinforced, buttweld branch fittings used for low stress and long fatigue service. The welded connection on the run pipe side can be easily inspected with radiographic examination (RX or RT), ultrasounds (UT) and other non-destructive tests.

In which condition is Sweepolet preferred?

Sweepolet. Sweepolet is used for large size branch connection. It provides smooth flow transition from run pipe to branch pipe. Sweepolet is used in piping header and pressure vessel when smooth flow transition is necessary and standard tee cannot be used.

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.

Why is weldolet used?

Corrosionpedia Explains Weldolet 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).

What is a half coupling?

Half Coupling is used for small bore branching from a vessel or large bore pipe. It can be threaded or socket type. It has a socket or thread end on only one side. A threaded half coupling only has one thread end and another end of the coupling should be butt welding end with either a plain end or a bevel end.

What is a reducing tee?

A Reducing Tee is a T-shaped pipe fitting with two outlets that cut at 90 degrees to the main line. These tees are available with a combination of diverse outlet sizes. In this, the branch port size is smaller than the other ports of the run.

Why is Weldolet used?

What is insert Weldolet?

Insert Weldolet® is another contoured butt-weld branch connection used in less critical applications. Like the Sweepolet®, the attachment welds are easily examined by radiography, ultrasound and other standard non-destructive techniques. Manufactured to meet your specific reinforcement requirements.

What is full coupling?

What is a Full Coupling. Full Coupling is used for connecting small bore pipes. It used to connect pipe to pipe or pipe to swage or nipple. It can be threaded or socket ends types. A socket weld full coupling is used to join small-bore plain end pipes where the pipe spec requirement is socket weld.

What is full and half coupling?

Full Coupling: Joint two pipe or joint pipe to a nipple. ( Threaded full coupling is same shape but just ends in threaded) Half Coupling: Joint one end anther end will be welded directly to the run pipe.

What is the difference between equal tee and unequal tee reducing tee?

The equal tee (or straight tee) is used as the branch has the same diameter as the run-pipe. The reducing tee is used as the branch has a smaller diameter as the run-pipe.

Which is the best description of a 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.

When to use weldolet, sockolet and coupolet?

It provides smooth flow transition from run pipe to branch pipe. Sweepolet is used in piping header and pressure vessel when smooth flow transition is necessary and standard tee cannot be used.
