edge length of weldolets
edge length of weldolets
(OP)
I am trying to determine the length of the welding surface for weldolets (the shape is essentially a circular sinusoidal wave). The weldolet dimensions are dependent on the header and branch pipe sizes.
Background: The purpose of this is to determine how much welding material is required per weldolet.
I would prefer not to create a headache by deriving a formula myself.
Ideally I am looking for a formula to find the approximate length of this odd shaped weldolet edge and/or a table with this length for each weldolet size.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
- Jeff

What is a weldolet???
RE: edge length of weldolets
Weldolet and Sockolet are basically self reinforced fittings
Weldolet is used for Butt weld branch connection where standard tee is not
available due to size restrictions and the piping is of critical / high pressure service.
Of course jeffhogie may not have access to the Weldolet or the skill to weld it.
