Welded Outlet Fittings

WELD OUTLETS FROM FORGINGS , insert into main pipe run and butt welded.
  • Welded branch fitting
  • High strength
  • Reduced stress

These are possibly the most commonly used branch connections in oil, gas, power and nuclear industry pipe systems. Welded outlets are welded externally to the  main pipe run. Bevelled ends ensure the weld reinforces points of maximum stress without material extruding into the path of fluid flow. This butt-welding technique eliminates the possibility of branch pipes protruding into the path of liquid flow. Welded outlets reduce stress: intrinsically reinforcing the branch junction more effectively than older mitre connections.

Available as Deltinox Stainless & Delcorte Carbon Steel Forged Socket Weld Pipe Fittings

Use of welded outlets is preferred in the construction of complex piping systems as it requires far less effort to put in place than typical tee joints. A single borehole needs to drilled into the main run (which can be done after welding to reduce distortion with larger sizes). The weld makes the connection as strong as the main pipe runs and in larger sizes the connection can be inspected easily due to the short protrusion of the fitting. Any necessary cleaning up is also easily accessible. The branch pipe is simply butt welded to the end of the connection.

Alternatives are threaded outlets and socket outlets which can potentially withstand higher pressures or deal with more difficult environmental or fluid characteristics. Call us now to ensure you have the correct fitting in your hands in the quickest possible time.
