The olet fittings MEGALET SW, MEGALET NPT and MEGALET BW are a family of forged fittings belonging to the ASME B16.11 standard. Defined as olet branch connections, they have different applications according to the different types. Below we go to deepen them.
MEGALET BW are the most common system of derivation to be applied to high pressure pipes. This connection is welded laterally to the line of the pipe to obtain a derivation of the fluid flow axis (branch) of 90°. The lower side has an insert to facilitate welding to the pipe after drilling the same. The upper side (butt weld) has a chamfer to facilitate welding to the branch pipe and the thickness of the megalet corresponds to the file (or higher).
It is a fitting to make a 90° laying derivation similar to MEGALET BW, whose peculiarity consists in a weld type socket seat to weld the branch pipe into a pocket. It is classified as all SW fittings ASME B16.11 with pressure class 3000 and 6000.
It has characteristics similar to MEGALET SW and MEGALET BW in that it is used to make a derivation to 90 would. from the main pipe and has a threaded female connection NPT or BSP. The lower part (branch) is welded to the pipe after the drilling of the same. It is classified as the ASME B16.11 threaded fittings with pressure classes 3000 and 6000.
Here are the main differences between these 3 type of standard fittings:
M.E.G.A can supply all these three different types, made from forging stainless steel ASTM A182 F304 /F304L, ASTM A182 F316/F316L.
M.E.G.A. standard steel pipe fittings and unions are also available in carbon steel, stainless steel, duplex, super duplex stainless steel, nickel alloys, copper alloys, titanium, and others. The material can be certified NSF 61, NACE, PED, and Norsok.
