Branch Connection: Olets provide a strong and efficient way to connect smaller pipes or branches to larger main pipes, facilitating fluid or gas flow in complex systems.
Variety of Materials: Available in materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, and various grades of plastic, accommodating different pressure, temperature, and corrosive environments.
Pressure and Temperature Ratings: Designed to handle high pressures and temperatures, depending on the material and design specifications.
Weldolet: Designed for welding onto a pipe, providing a strong, seamless connection. Ideal for high-pressure applications.
Sockolet: Features a socket weld connection for attaching a branch pipe, often used in systems requiring high strength and leak-proof connections.
Threadolet: Equipped with a threaded connection for easy installation on pipes with a threaded end. Commonly used in lower pressure applications.
ANSI/ASME B16.11: Standard for forged steel fittings, including olets, used in piping systems.
ASTM A105: Standard specification for carbon steel forged fittings for high-temperature service.
ASTM A182: Specification for forged or rolled alloy and stainless steel pipe fittings.
ISO 9001: Quality management system standards ensuring the consistency and reliability of olets.
