Your Best Choice
All Bonney Forge forgings are inspected
before leaving the factory, undergoing
three separate quality control systems:
one for material control, one for manu-
facturing and one for design control.
Branch Connection forgings also undergo
frequent checks against mill documents
during the manufacturing process to as-
sure the highest compliance with ASME
and ASTM specifications. Plus, compre-
hensive record keeping of every fitting
from initial forging bar through forging,
heat treatment, machining, storage and
shipment means every fitting is traceable
to the exact material and process used in
its manufacture.

Quality Control
Bonney Forge craftsmanship is combined with rigid quality control systems to provide complete assurance of the highest
manufacturing standards and compliance with applicable ASME and ASTM specifications. Every fitting manufactured is subjected to
three separate quality control systems: one for material control, one for manufacturing control, and one for design control.
All forgings are inspected before being passed to the shipping room. Frequent analyses are made to check against mill documents.
Accurate records are kept of every fitting, from initial forging bar through forging, heat treatment, machining, storage and
shipment. Every single fitting is traceable to the exact material and process used in its manufacture.
Research
Rather than blindly following the results of tests on branch connections by others and applying them to the Weldolet®,
Bonney Forge performed the necessary basic research and applied it directly to the Weldolet® and Sweepolet® type of
construction. By ultra-precise use of stress coat, monitored by strain gauges, Bonney Forge has obtained the effect of an
infinite number of strain gauges. Starting with unreinforced branch connections, and testing a large number of sizes, size
combinations and weights, Bonney Forge scientifically observed and developed patterns of the areas of stress concentrations
as well as the areas having less than an average stress.
As a result of a continuing program of testing over the years, the Weldolet and the Sweepolet have undergone design revisions
to keep pace with the changing needs of the piping industry. The most modern research techniques are used including stress
analyses by means of three-dimensional photoelasticity. The modern Weldolet and Sweepolet provides the best engineered method
of fabricating a branch connection of carbon steel, stainless, alloy and high yield transmission pipe, in all pipe wall thicknesses. The
Sweepolet is the recommended branch connection for Class I (critical service) nuclear piping.
Temperature-PressureRatings
THE WELDOLET PROVIDES 100% PIPE STRENGTH FOR ALL SIZES, WEIGHTS AND SCHEDULES.
Weldolet Welding Fittings are rated the same as seamless steel pipe. These ratings are based on the ASME Codes for Pressure
Piping. For example, an extra strong Weldolet used on extra strong pipe of the equivalent material provides 100% pipe strength.
Likewise, a standard weight Weldolet has the same ratings as standard weight pipe and provides 100% pipe strength when used
on standard weight pipe.
Weldolet Welding Fittings are manufactured according to the requirements of the ASME B16.9 Standard for Steel Butt-Welding
Fittings. Weldolets are designed so that their actual bursting strength when installed as recommended exceeds the computed
bursting strength of the pipe of the designated weight or schedule number and material. Header assemblies with full size and
reducing branches constructed with Weldolet welding fittings tested in accordance with the provisions of ASME B16.9 in all cases
burst in the header pipe well above the computed minimum bursting strength of the straight run of unpenetrated pipe.

Olet® • Stainless Steels
• Butt-weld (Weldolet®) • Other
• Threaded (Thredolet®) 5. Specify Design Code (if available)

HowToSpecifyBonneyForgeBranchConnections
Generally the schedules of the run pipe and branch pipe are identical and thus specification of the equivalent schedule Weldolet assures the proper fitting being used.
Example:
16" Standard weight x 6" Standard weight is specified as a 6" standard weight fitting.
Where the schedule of the run is greater or less than the schedule of the branch, it is essential that both schedules be specified since (a) The Weldolet’s rein-
forcing characteristics are a function of the run pipe wall thickness, which in turn designates the schedule of the basic Weldolet® fitting to be used; (b) The wall
thickness of the outlet or branch end must match the wall thickness of the branch pipe.
Example:
16" Extra strong x 6" Standard weight
16" Standard weight x 6" Extra strong
Special care is suggested to avoid confusing schedule 40 and standard weight as being identical (above 10" schedule 40 is heavier) and schedule 80 and extra
strong (above 8" schedule 80 is heavier).
Example:
8" Schedule 80 x 4" Schedule 80 fitting or extra strong fitting.
18" Schedule 80 x 4" Schedule 80 is a considerably heavier fitting, because the reinforcement is for 18" schedule 80 pipe with a wall thickness of approximately 1".
The Weldolet® is available in standard code designs for all combinations of run wall thicknesses up through 3 1/2" thickness and branch wall thicknesses up through
double extra strong. Designs for thicknesses greater than these can be developed on request.
HowtoSpecifyBonneyForgeBranchConnectionsWithSpecialBores
When run size is standard weight and the branch is standard weight - specify as standard weight. When run is standard weight and branch size is bored for a
schedule less than standard weight - specify and price as standard weight plus special bore. When run size is extra strong weight and the branch is extra strong
weight - specify and price as extra strong. When run size is extra strong weight and the branch is bored for a schedule less than extra strong weight - specify
as extra strong plus special bore. When run size is schedule 160 weight and the branch is schedule 160 weight - specify and price as schedule 160. When the
run size is schedule 160 weight and the branch is bored for a schedule less than schedule 160 - specify as schedule 160 plus special bore. For 12" and larger
run sizes with wall thicknesses heavier than schedule 160 - specify Heavy Wall Weldolets as shown on page 14.

“Shape of Reinforcement” has been pioneered by BONNEY FORGE for the past 60 years. The fact
that shape is even more important than area replacement for branch reinforcement has gained
wide industry recognition. Even though the Weldolet® does have sufficient area replacement, the
factor setting it apart from conventional lap type reinforcement is its SHAPE . . .
reinforcement close to the juncture - completely bonded homogeneous reinforcement avoiding
cracks, fillet welds, and re-entrant corners - reinforcement tapering at the sides to prevent abrupt
change in thickness where fitting joins header pipe.
Specify and use the Weldolet® for all your full size and reducing branch connections. It is
available in carbon steel and all alloys for any piping service.

Design Principles
Internal pressure tends to split pipe by hoop
stress. At a 90° intersection, the maximum
hoop stress is produced by the stresses of
both branch and header as shown acting at Fig. 1 Fig. 3
point A. This combined stress tapers off to
the hoop stress of the header only at point B. (See Fig. 1.)
The Weldolet® welding fitting is designed with thickness and weld bevel distributed in the same manner as the stresses, largest at crotch section and tapered to
pipe wall thickness at skirt section.
Crotch Section
The design of the Weldolet type of construction is based on compensating (see cross hatched area in Fig. 2) for the metal removed from the run pipe at the point
where the largest stress concentrations would otherwise occur.
Skirt Section
At the skirt of an unreinforced branch connection, the tendency under pressure is for this zone to become spherical or to bulge (see Fig. 3). In the case of the
Weldolet type of construction, the skirt portion of the fitting attached to the header tapers from header thickness to a proportionally thick section which tends to
keep the joint from distorting. Rupture does not occur until the header is pressurized well beyond the minimum bursting requirements of B16.9, standard for steel
butt-welding fittings.
BranchReinforcement
Use Integrally Reinforced Weldolet® Welding Fittings Which Eliminate Computation.
After determining that a branch needs reinforcement because of internal pressure of external forces or because of the high hazard of pipe failure, the designer
can avoid further calculating by the specification of Weldolet welding fittings, specifically designed to compensate for the primary and secondary stress factors.
The Weldolet fully integrates the branch and run pipe with the heaviest reinforcement at the crotch. The Weldolet blends the branch into the run pipe without
abrupt transitions or sharp re-entrant corners present when the reinforcement is not completely integrated with the branch and run, such as with pad
reinforced nozzles. The funneled inlet of the Weldolet provides a wide, stable footing which relieves stress concentrations and improves fluid flow.
EVEN WHERE CALCULATIONS SHOW THAT REINFORCEMENT IS NOT REQUIRED, the designer should, and in some cases must, satisfy himself on the following
features and determine whether the use of the Weldolet is “good engineering” compared with the use of mitered branch nozzle construction.
1. FLUID FLOW - The internal funnel of the Weldolet fitting avoids the impeded flow caused by the abrupt 90° angle of a mitered nozzle.
2. LARGE BRANCHES ON LARGE MAINS - An unreinforced branch connection (nozzle), even when competently installed, is considerably weaker than the pipe.
The amount of reinforcement necessary to restore the joint to full pipe strength requires complex calculations as outlined in the Code. The use of the Weldolet
avoids these calculations and provides 100% pipe strength branch connections as required by Code.
3. SMALL BRANCHES ON LARGE MAINS - All branches 2" and smaller should be constructed with a Weldolet, Thredolet or Sockolet, whether reinforcement is
required or not. Bonney Forge fittings provide the least expensive method of constructing branch connections in these sizes. Operating experience with piping
systems points out the need for improved methods of attaching small pipes to large mains. The Weldolet fitting provides the ideal method of making the transition.
4. WORKMANSHIP - Fabrication with a Weldolet avoids the abuses encountered in the field with mitered branch connections as outlined on page 5.

Installation Procedure
PERTINENT POINTS ON SIZE ON SIZE WELDOLET® fitting INSTALLATION
In contrast to the reducing sizes, the size on size Weldolet and the first reducing size are designed
with an elliptical hole (as shown on pages 9 and 11). This has been done to provide the necessary
full size opening without requiring a 50% portion of the header pipe to be removed (it is actually
closer to 40%). This reduced hole cut combines with the proper welding procedure to minimize the
possibility of header distortion.
Multiple outlet headers requiring all full size openings are subject to distortion because of the large
number of holes that have to be cut in close proximity to one another. To eliminate the possibility of
distortion occurring when using Weldolets in this type of installation we recommend that a strap be
left in the center of the hole, by cutting out two half moon sections (as shown in sketch). This strap
acts as a support until after the Weldolet has been installed and is then cut out.
Since alloys are more difficult to weld than carbon steel, many companies have set up specified
welding procedures. For those who do not have access to such specifications we offer the following
suggestions:
When welding has been completed it is advisable to follow stress-relieving procedures at once.
If however, this is not feasible, the welded section should be post heated to a dull red. The whole
area should then be wrapped with a heat blanket and allowed to cool before stress relieving. The
stress-relieving temperature should then be determined by the type of alloy and the engineer’s
recommended specifications or procedure.
