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 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.
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 |
