MSS SP 97 Forged Branch Outlets
The integrally reinforced forged branch outlets are generally manufactured conforming to MSS SP 97. They can be applied to piping codes including ASME B31.1, B31.3, B31.4 and B31.8. The forged branch outlets can be furnished in butt welding, socket welding, and threaded types which are known as Weldolet(weld outlet), Thredolet(thread outlet), and Socketolet(socket outlet), respectively. In order to be used within the established ratings, the forged branch outlets shall be design proof tested in accordance with ASME B16.9, MSS SP 97, or ASME BPVC Section VIII, Division 1, UG-101.
The forged branch outlet can be mounted perpendicular(90°) or lateral(45°) to the run pipe. It shall be attached to the run pipe at an opening by means of a full penetration weld. The dimensions are provided in two unit systems: US customary unit or SI metric unit.
