Olets (SW/Threaded) are produced as high-strength forged steel fittings, primarily per MSS-SP-97 and ASME B16.11, designed to strengthen branch connections in high-pressure piping systems. Key manufacturing steps include forging, machining to form the socket/thread, heat treatment, and stringent inspection to ensure proper fitment for 3000/6000# pressure classesManufacturing Process of Socket Welding Olets
* Forging: The manufacturing begins with forging a piece of steel (carbon, stainless, or alloy) to create the basic shape. This provides a self-reinforced, high-strength fitting.
* Machining:
* Sockolet (SW): A small diameter hole is machined, followed by a socket that allows the branch pipe to sit inside. This allows for a fillet weld around the top.
* Heat Treatment: Forged components are heat-treated to ensure consistent material properties, such as normalizing, tempering, or quenching.
* Inspection & Testing: Olets are tested for dimensions and quality, including dimensional inspection and pressure testing, according to ASTM standards.
