What is the difference between a Butt weld and a socket weld?
A butt weld is where the diameter of the pipes welded together are the same, a socket weld is where a larger diameter pipe is fitted into a smaller one. In making a butt weld, the pipes (or pipe and fitting) usually have an angle machined or ground into the outside corner, so when they are placed together face-face, there is a circumferential V shaped gap serving as the weld prep. In a socket weld, the pipe is inserted into the socket, backed off slightly to make a gap between the end of the pipe and the bottom of the socket, and the weld is made around the outside diameter of the socket to the outside diameter of the pipe. The gap at the bottom of the pipe prevents thermal expansion from stressing the joint during or after welding.
Why is filet weld necessary while welding slip on flanges to a pipe end?
It is the only type of weld you can make to seal this type of joint. There are flange ends that can be welded onto pipe with a butt weld, but sockets and slip-ons must be fillet welded.
What is the difference between butt weld and socket weld?
A butt weld is a weld made between two straight cut profiles , a socket , or plug weld is made between a surface and a hole.
Is it ok to weld gi pipe?
Gi weld not recommended . Because of gi coationg will be spoiled out . Puncture will be occur on the pipe weld .
What is the definition of dia inch of welding?
This is used differently in different countries. But generally, if a welder is contracted to do say 100 weld joints, of a 1" pipe, then the total work involved is 100" dia welding work. If 100 weld joints of a 2" pipe is 200 weld work and so on.

What the difference between weldolet and thredolet?
A weldolet is a fitting you weld on a (run) pipe, and then butt weld a branch pipe to it. A tredolet is a fitting you weld on a (run) pipe, and then screw a threaded branch pipe to it. Some people call this a threadolet A sockolet is a fitting you weld on a (run) pipe, and then socket weld a branch pipe to it. A nipolet is the same as a weldolet or thredolet but has an elongated branch connection. You have to specify if it's a welded or threaded nipolet.
What does mean by Elbow 45 butt weld LR?
Elbow is a fitting used to change pipe direction, 45 degrees in this case, LR is referred as "long Radius" ( normally most pipes, unless you ask for SR, short radius). Butt weld refers to welding 2 ends from two separate fittings or pipe. Both ends are beveled (30 degrees is tapered from inside pipe diameter to outside pipe diameter on pipe/fitting connections)
Butt-weld and grrove weld?
Butt weld and groove weld are two common types of weld joints used in welding processes. A butt weld is a type of weld where two pieces of metal are joined together along their edges in a single plane, creating a smooth, flush surface. On the other hand, a groove weld is a type of weld where a groove or channel is created in one or both of the pieces being joined, and the filler material is deposited into the groove to create the weld. Both types of weld joints are used in various applications depending on the specific requirements of the project.
What is butt joint in stainless steel?
there are 3 types of welded joint 1-butt weld butt weld is the type which need usually 4 mm clearance between the 2 edge of pipe or plate you want to weld it. 2-socket weld 3-seal weld
What is weldolet in pipe 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.
Difference between weldolet and sockolet in piping?
Weldolet has a Bevelled end to butt weld the pipe whereas in sockolet the pipe/tube goes inside it and there it is fillet welded.

What is furnace butt welded pipe?
Furnace butt welded pipe refers to the manner in which a pipe is to be welded. The skelp itself is heated to a specific temperature in a furnace. You would then weld the longitudinal seam forge. This is a method that works on fence posts or pipes required for low pressure services.
What is the formula to ending-to-center dimensions on a long radius butt-weld elbow?
1 1/2 times the nominal pipe size
Is it ok to weld gi pipe?
Gi weld not recommended . Because of gi coationg will be spoiled out . Puncture will be occur on the pipe weld .
