Production Range of Sweep Outlet

• Thread: NPT, NPSC, BSPT, BSPP, Type: Male and Female
• The MSS SP-97 Standard Practice covers essential dimensions, finish, tolerances, testing, marking, material, and minimum strength requirements for 90 degree integrally reinforced forged branch outlet fittings of buttwelding, socket welding, and threaded types. Fittings manufactured to this Standard Practice are designed to make a fully reinforced branch connection in accordance with applicable piping code requirements, when attached, at an opening in a run pipe by means of a full penetration weld.
• ASME B31.3 contains requirements for piping typically found in petroleum refineries; chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, paper, semiconductor, and cryogenic plants; and related processing plants and terminals. It covers materials and components, design, fabrication, assembly, erection, examination, inspection, and testing of piping.

Sweep Outlet Dimensions – MSS SP-97, ASME B31.3

• A sweep outlet is a type of  integrally reinforced branch connection used to facilitate radiography, one or many non-destructive tests (NDT) used to inspect welds.
• This type of NDT uses Gamma or X-rays to penetrate material. The rays are then passed through film on the opposite side .the exposed film is examined as a negative and displays the internal features The thickness of the weld is shown through lighter or darker areas on the film.

Metallica is a well known manufacturer and supplier of forged branch outlet fittings for the clients from oil and gas, petrochemicals, railway, construction and other industries. Branch outlets are popularly known as Olets, which is a registered trademark of Bonney Forge. Fittings may be made to special dimensions, size, shape, tolerances, or of other wrought material by agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser. We can produce forged branch outlet fittings in size range of 1/2″ to 24″. The most common and materials include ASTM A105, ASTM A182 F304, F316, F304L, F316L, and A182 F5/F9/F11/F22/F91. In nickel alloys we manufacturing forged branch outlets in various grades such as Alloy 200, 201, 400, K500, 600, 625, 800H/HT, 825, X-750, C276, Hastelloy B & C22.

Forged Socket Weld & Threaded Pipe Fittings Manufacturing Standards

• ASTM A182 – ASME SA182 – Standard Specification for Wrought Austenitic Stainless Steel Piping Fittings
• ASME B16.9 – Factory-Made Wrought Buttwelding Fittings
• ASME B16.11 – Socket Welding and Threaded Forged Fittings
• MSS SP-43 – Wrought and Fabricated Butt-Welding Fittings for Low Pressure, Corrosion Resistant Applications
• MSS SP-95 – Swage(d) Nipples and Bull Plugs
• BS3799 – Specification for Steel pipe fittings, screwed and Socket-welding for the petroleum industry

Socket weld and threaded fittings are generally used for small size pipes and piping systems (generally below 4 inches in diameter for Class 3000, and below 2 inches for fittings in class 6000 and 9000). Forged pipe fittings are manufactured by forging, followed by heat treatment and machining solid steel as per the dimensional standards. For bigger size piping systems buttweld pipe fittings produced as per ASME B16.9 are used.
