Steel Weldolet Pipe Fittings

Description

Steel weldolets are pipe fittings that provide a strong and leak-proof connection between a branch pipe and a main pipe by welding.Weldolet is a branch butt weld connection fitting that is adhered to outlet pipe to minimizes stress concentrations. And it provides overall reinforcement.Normally it has the same or a higher schedule than the run pipe schedule, and offers a variety of forged material grades, such as ASTM A105, A350, A182 etc.

Weldolet connections replace the traditional piping tee connections. Even they are used when standard piping tee connection fittings are not available. Let’s take an example, For a parent pipe size of 16 inches, the standard piping reducing-tee connection is available up to a branch size of 6 inches. So, if we need to use lower branch sizes, then standardized reducing pipe tees are not an option. In such situations, the weldolet piping connections come as a savior. For 16 inches main pipe, weldolets are available up to 1/2 inches branch size. Fig. 1 below shows a weldolet connection.

Characteristics of Weldolet Connection
-They are smaller in size than traditional tee fittings and hence they take up less space in the system.
-They are forged components.
-they can be made of various compatible pipe materials like A105 carbon steel, stainless steel, -alloy steel, nickel alloys, etc
-They are easy to weld (Butt-welding) to the main pipe to create a strong branch connection.
-The thickness of weldolet connection is always higher than the tee fitting thickness.
-Weldolets provide integral reinforcement or self-reinforcement.
-Weldolet connections are produced by a company called Bonney Forge

Weldolets are installed through welding, hence the name. The fitting has a welding outlet on one end, which is welded onto the main pipe, and a threaded or socket weld connection on the other end to accommodate the smaller branch pipe or component. This welding process ensures a strong and leak-resistant connection between the main pipe and the branch pipe.

Applications of Weldolets

Weldolets find applications in a multitude of industries, including:

-Oil and Gas: They are commonly used in oil refineries, petrochemical plants, and offshore platforms for creating branch connections in pipelines carrying hydrocarbons and other fluids.

Power Generation: Weldolets are employed in power plants to create connections in steam and water pipelines.

-Chemical Processing: They play a crucial role in connecting pipes that transport corrosive or hazardous chemicals.

-Water Treatment: In water treatment facilities, Weldolets are utilized to create branch connections for distribution and collection pipelines.

-Food and Beverage: These fittings are used in the food and beverage industry for creating connections in pipelines carrying various liquids and gases

Uses of packaging in the steel industry

Protective function

- Prevent steel products from physical damage, such as collision, scratching and extrusion, during transport, storage and handling to avoid affecting the quality and appearance of the products.

- Insulate from external environmental factors, such as humid air, rain, dust, etc., to reduce the risk of rust and corrosion of steel and ensure the performance and service life of the products.

Wooden box packaging

- Use: Mainly used to protect some irregular shape, easy to damage or high requirements for packaging of steel products, such as precision parts and components.

- Specific description: the wooden box is made of thick wooden boards, and cushioning materials, such as foam, air cushion, etc., may be added inside to reduce the impact of vibration and collision on the product.

Anti-rust paper packaging

- Purpose: To prevent rust and corrosion of steel products, especially suitable for storage or transportation in a humid environment.

- Specific description: anti-rust paper usually contains rust inhibitors, can be in contact with the metal surface to form a protective film, blocking the erosion of moisture and oxygen.

Plastic film packaging

- Purpose: To provide basic protection against dust and moisture, commonly used for small steel products.

- Specific description: plastic film has a certain degree of flexibility and sealing, can be tightly wrapped in the product surface, effectively isolate the external environment.

Pallet packaging

- Purpose: To facilitate the stacking and handling of steel products, and improve logistics efficiency.

- Specific description: The pallet is usually made of wood or plastic, the steel products are placed on the pallet, and then the forklift and other tools can be used for handling and loading and unloading.

Factory container packing

- Purpose: It is used for mass transportation of iron and steel products, to protect the products and improve the utilization rate of transportation space.

- Specific description: Containers have a strong structure and good sealing, and can adapt to long-distance transportation and the conversion of multiple modes of transportation.

Anti-rust oil coating packaging

- Purpose: To form a layer of antirust oil film on the surface of steel and enhance the antirust ability.

- Specific description: evenly cover the steel surface with anti-rust oil by brushing or soaking to form a durable protective layer.

Metal Corner Protection Packaging

- Purpose: To protect the corners and edges of steel products from damage during handling and transportation.

- Specific description: Metal corner guards are usually installed on the corners of products, using welding, bolting and other methods to increase the strength and impact resistance of the corners.
