Olets Category

Olets are specialized fittings used to create branch connections from a main pipe to a smaller pipe or fitting in high-pressure piping systems. Available in carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel, they provide strong, reliable connections for demanding applications.

Olets are designed to minimize stress concentrations and ensure leak-proof joints, making them ideal for industries requiring robust piping networks, such as oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation.

OLETS

Olets facilitate efficient branch connections without compromising the integrity of the main pipeline. Types like weldolets and sockolets are engineered for specific connection methods and system requirements. Explore our range of Weldolets, Sockolets, and Threadolets for detailed specifications.

Key Properties of OLETS

  • High Integrity: Reinforced design reduces stress at branch connections for enhanced durability.
  • Material Versatility: Available in carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel for corrosion resistance.
  • Pressure Capability: Suitable for high-pressure systems, up to 6000# or higher.
  • Compact Design: Provides space-efficient branch connections compared to traditional fittings.

Types of Olets

Olets are categorized by their connection method to meet specific piping system needs.

Type Description Application
Weldolets Butt-welded branch connections for seamless integration with the main pipe. High-pressure pipelines, oil and gas
Sockolets Socket-welded connections for smaller branch pipes in high-pressure systems. Petrochemical plants, small-bore piping
Threadolets Threaded connections for easy installation without welding. Low-pressure systems, maintenance applications
Elbolets Used for branch connections on elbows, typically welded or threaded. Complex piping layouts, power generation

Applications of OLETS

Olets are critical for creating reliable branch connections in various industrial piping systems:

  • Oil and Gas: Facilitate branch connections in pipelines and processing facilities.
  • Petrochemical: Support high-pressure and corrosive fluid systems in refineries.
  • Power Generation: Enable branch connections in steam and cooling water lines.
  • Chemical Processing: Provide durable connections for aggressive chemical pipelines.
