A "Sockolet" is a type of welded connection used to join pipes or plumbing. It is designed as a connecting element for welding or soldering onto a steel pipe or pipeline. It is used when pipes or plumbing need to be connected to each other or when adding a side branch to a circuit or pipeline.
Sockolets are specifically designed for high-pressure or high-temperature applications. They are typically manufactured in compliance with the ANSI/ASME B16.11 standard and are available in various sizes to match the diameter and pressure requirements of the pipes.
Sockolets are used when changes or connections in pipeline systems are needed, providing a suitable solution for such operations. This type of connection is commonly encountered in industrial facilities, refineries, chemical plants, and power stations. Sockolets ensure a secure and leak-proof connection of pipes and are suitable for various pipe materials and operating conditions.
