Sockolets

(OP)
Can anyone point me where to find information on Sockolets.  We have a 1" 3000 with 4" long xxh nipple and 4" 600 RF flange that we are welding to a check valve coverplate.  What I'm really concerned about is the coverplate to sockolet weld.  The coverplate is flat and I was wondering if we need to make a buttweld connection or what to weld them together?

RE: Sockolets

You can find the information that you are looking for in MSS-SP-97.

RE: Sockolets

It is supposed to be a full penetration but weld.  The size of the weld should be in accordance with the manufacturer-of-the-fitting's specifications.

Tripping Hazard! Make sure your welders are qualified for open groove of this diameter.

LIMIT VELOCITY TO 6 FPS IN MEA SERVICE. GTAW ROOT PASS WELDING IS PREFERRED IN MEA SERVICE TO PREVENT TURBULANCE AND VELOCITY SENSITIVE CORROSION. DO NOT USE SHORT RADIUS ELBOWS.

Which code is being applied since there are minor but important differences between codes with regards to this type of branch connection.
