Sockolets Manufacturer, Stockist & Supplier
Product Overview
Sagiant Piping Industries manufactures sockolets (socket-weld branch outlets) in carbon steel, low-temperature steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, duplex and nickel alloys to MSS SP-97 and ASME B16.11. A sockolet provides an integrally reinforced 90° socket-weld branch connection from a run pipe, with a contoured base matched to the run OD, in run sizes 1/2" to 36" and branch 1/8" to 4" in Class 3000, 6000 and 9000, with EN 10204 3.1/3.2 certificates, PMI, NDT and IGC testing.

Manufacturing Process & Process Notes
Sockolets are closed-die forged with a contoured base profiled to the run-pipe OD (per MSS SP-97) and a socket bore (per ASME B16.11). The base is welded to the run pipe; the branch pipe is inserted into the socket and fillet welded — combining a reinforced branch with a leak-tight socket-weld joint for small-bore high-pressure connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sockolet?
A forged branch-outlet fitting with a socket-weld branch bore and a contoured base welded to the run pipe — a self-reinforced branch with a leak-tight socket-weld joint.
What is the difference between a sockolet and a weldolet?
A sockolet has a socket-weld branch end (pipe inserted and fillet welded) for small-bore lines; a weldolet has a butt-weld branch end for larger branches.
What classes are available?
Class 3000, 6000 and 9000 per ASME B16.11 for the socket branch bore.
What grades do you supply?
