All Weldolets are Flexolets but not all Flexolets are Weldolets in the same way that all dogs are animals but not all animals are dogs. The Flexolet and the Weldolet products are our two branch connection designs. They perform the same function, which is that they reinforce the strength lost when a hole is cut into the header pipe and they connect the header pipe to the branch pipe. The difference in designs is that the Weldolet® has a tapered bore while the Flexolet has a straight-through bore. See below: The tapered bore provides a better transition (reduces the flow resistance) and it also provides a lower stress intensification factor, which results in less stress on the welds and longer fatigue life. The straight-through bore decreases the diameter of the part and allows for larger run-size consolidations (meaning you can use them on a wider range of header pipe diameters). Because of the smaller size of the straight-through bore, the Flexolet tends to be less expensive as compared to the Weldolet.

What is a Olet? Branch Connection fittings (also known as Olets) 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. The pipe to which the branch connection provides a channel is usually called the Branch or Outlet size. Branch connections are in all sizes, types, bores, and classes, in a wide range of stainless steel, chrome-moly, and other alloys.

Sealed better and easy to be installed, it won’t affect main pipeline. 3. Sweepolet Saddle use less material than tee, so it has a more competitive price. Sweepolet Weldolet Vs Sweepolet Weldolets (aka WOL) are cheaper in terms of purchasing cost than sweepolets (aka SOL). WOLs may, in some situations (large dia, thin wall) warp the pipe, i.e. unstraight and oval, due to excessive heat input arising form the relative thick required weld metal layer. Since for WOLs the weld metal thickness is always greater than for SOLs (where one only welds the base metal wall thickness), welding may require some extra time to allow cooling off on the heat input to prevent banana-warping the pipe. SOLs are less standard, I think most of the time custom made. Without having specific experience with SOLs, preparing and beveling the pipe for it may be more difficult/time-costuming compared to WOLs. For WOLs, you can weld them on, and then bore through the hole. This gives a smooth weld profile on the inside. This may give the best option for a flushing branch, as there is not weld metal ‘sticking into the run’ (provided the pipe doesnt become oval, as this will cause the pig trap to become stuck perhaps). Since the saddle form is quite specific (but then again, the SOL may be laid down on the pipe, and the contour can be drawn), and a lot bigger than WOLs, more material has to be removed. If you use a SOL and the run pipe is large enough in dia, you may counter grind the root weld to become flush. WOLs can be RT-ed, SOLs can. WOLs are likely to give more peak stress than SOLs, since the latter has a much more continuous profile into the branch.

Butt welding elbow is the use of high-quality steel plate by stamping die stamping into half a block ring bend or use of casting mould cast directly into half a block ring bend, then the two semi ring elbow group of welding forming, so butt welding elbow, also known as welding elbow. Butt welding elbow the corresponding process fabrication and welding, forming good production standards and performance, fully display the important performance using the corresponding materials. Butt welding elbow’s material is the core of the field of new materials, the development of high and new technology plays an important role in promoting and supporting, in the global research in the field of new materials, wear-resistant materials accounted for about 85%. Butt welding elbow in the use of the process should be kept clean, the screw thread transmission must be lubricated periodically, find fault, should immediately stop using the clear identification of the reasons for failure. Stamping welding elbow used to connect the two nominal diameter of the same pipe, so that the pipe to make a 90 degree turn. Butt welding flange‘s joint sealing material asbestos rubber sheet Asbestos rubber sheet as a universal gasket, do not consider the use of a wide range of conditions. Actually, asbestos rubber sheet is will asbestos fiber and different rubber and other adhesive mixing after pressing, is a porous non-metallic materials, and with different varieties and the ratio of composition, the variation of performance is great. In fact, foreign use of asbestos rubber plate with strict restrictions, such as the provisions of the United States DuPont flammable materials must not use asbestos rubber sheet, because in the event of fire, the asbestos rubber plate butt welding flange joint is difficult to guarantee not to produce secondary leakage. Japan “petroleum industry standard for asbestos rubber plate” provisions of flammable and toxic gases using asbestos rubber plate for 0~260 DEG C, is less than or equal to 1.0 MPa, water, air, water vapor, -50~260 DEG C, is less than or equal to 3.0 MPa. Moreover, the foreign standard of asbestos rubber plate performance requirements than domestic similar products to high. Thick pads are better than thin spacers. In fact, asbestos rubber sheet is a porous material, the thicker the gasket, the permeability is high, in order to ensure a high seal must be greater than the shim the pressing force is applied to the core part of the leakage rate is reduced, so the thick gasket is larger than the pressing force of the shim. For large molecules such as water, the leakage rate of the core part of the gasket is very small, and the thickness has little effect. Usually only the spacer flange diameter is large, consider the use of sealing surface waves or buckling at. The thickness of the general use of 0.81, 0.6, 3.2mm.

What Is a Loose Flange? ​ A loose flange (lap joint flange) is a device that is welded onto the end of a piece of pipe to create half of a flanged coupling. Consisting of a flat steel forging with bolt holes around the perimeter and an opening in the center the size of the pipe that is intended to be welded onto the loose flange, the component can be made of carbon steel or stainless steel to meet the intended application. There are loose flange types to fit elbows, valves and nearly every type of pipeline component in use. Due to the nature of pipelines, the connections and couplings can rarely be constructed in advance. The use of a loose flange allows a worker to create a coupling in any location along the pipeline that is feasible. The worker simply cuts the pipe at the required location and places a loose flange onto the end of the pipe. After carefully preparing the pipe to weld, the loose flange is welded permanently to the end of the pipe. If a valve or elbow is required, the worker simply welds the flange onto the elbow or valve as well as the pipe, and the union is made. Lap Joint Flanges have all the same common dimensions as any other flange named on this page however it does not have a raised face, they used in conjunction with a “Lap Joint Stub End”. These flanges are nearly identical to a Slip On flange with the exception of a radius at the intersection of the flange face and the bore to accommodate the flanged portion of the Stub End. Their pressure-holding ability is little, if any, better than that of Slip On flanges and the fatigue life for the assembly is only one tenth that of Welding Neck flanges. They may be used at all pressures and are available in a full size range. These flanges slip over the pipe, and are not welded or otherwise fastened to it. Bolting pressure is transmitted to the gasket by the pressure of the flange against the back of the pipe lap (Stub End). Lap Joint flanges have certain special advantages: Freedom to swivel around the pipe facilitates the lining up of opposing flange bolt holes. Lack of contact with the fluid in the pipe often permits the use of inexpensive carbon steel flanges with corrosion resistant pipe. In systems which erode or corrode quickly, the flanges may be salvaged for re-use. what is the advantage of the lap joint flange? 1. Because of the structure of a Lap joing flange ,  it can swivel around the stub end and pipe lining. When the piping system is assembe and disassemble frequently,  it is better to use a Lap joint flange. It means the flange can work even the two flanges bolt holes are misalignment . 2. In a corrosive situation,  the flange joints need to be exchange very soon. To a lap joint flange, only the stub end is touch with the pipe and fluid , the backing flange no need to touch it .  It means you could only replace the stub end , no need to replace the backing flange , so the lap joint flange can decrease the cost of the piping systems. 3.The backing flange and the stub end is seperated , so we can use two different materials for the two pieces.  it can work for  more complicated application.
