conventional line of fittings that give a

in refineries, chemical plents and gas

FLEXOLET™ reduces the number of fing

the revisions to the MSS specication.
This means less warehouse bin locations,
fewer individual inventory items, and less
time needed for filing orders.Manan Quaury - Reouce Costs

because of the reasons outlined below;
4 Wherever welding fittings are required use the Weldolet in lieu
of welding tees.
a. Weldolet fittings cost 50% to 90% less than welding tees.
b. The Weldolet:fabricates 50% to 90% less than welding tees
«. The Weldolet allows more flexible fabrication, (Run your pipe -
then weld on fittings.)
d. The Weldolet maintains full pipe strength in accordance with
ASME B16.9 and other ASIME Codes for Pressure Piping,
e. The Weldolet provides full fluid flow.
2 Wherever reinforced branches (saddles, reinforcing pads) are
required by internal pressure-temperature conditions,
external forces or both - an integrally reinforced Weldolet should
be used,
a. The Weldolet fitting facilitates fabrication and reduces cost.
(No chipping, less cutting and welding)
b. The Weldolet provides a perfectly contoured internal joint,
«. The Weldolet fully integrates branch reinforcement and header,
avoids metal to metal lapped surfaces and sharp re-entrant
comers,

Thepipngindustry has retained the theory of area replacement" for
adequate end acceptable branch pipe rentorcement end very ite basic
improvementin branch pipe construction as taken placer inden seemed
possible, Area replacement has been the oni premise autined by Gnd for
adequate enforcement: the Codes have not considered the shape such
reinforcement, cis dent thet some stapes woud be more efficient than
others, anda a result more replacement area witha poor shape might be
less satisfactory than less area with an appropiate shape.
The basic methods ofp type reinforcement outined in Codes are kav to
hve serious dranbacks, namely, tht the geometry creates areas of igh
stress concentration, They have an inerent ceckat the inside edge of the
filet wet as nels points of igh stress where te pe ois the un pipe
and wherethenazle intersects the pad arrun
‘These drawbacks ar of increasing concer when igh yield pipe is used and
for other rial sence eppeaton such as nuclear. On softer materials
suchas Grade Aor Grade 8 pipe the localized aress of high stress tend to
