DISADVANTAGES
• The welder should ensure for a expansion gap of 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) between de
pipe and the shoulder of the socket.
ASME B31.1 para. 127.3 Preparation for Welding (E) Socket Weld Assembly says:
In assembly of the joint before welding, the pipe or tube shall be inserted into the
socket to the maximum depth and then withdrawn approximately 1/16" (1.6 mm)
away from contact between the end of the pipe and the shoulder of the socket.
• The expansion gap and internal crevices left in socket welded systems promotes
corrosion and make them less suitable for corrosive or radioactive applications
where solids buildup at the joints may cause operating or maintenance problems.
Generally require butt welds in all pipe sizes with complete weld penetration to the
inside of the piping.
• Socket welding are unacceptable for UltraHigh Hydrostatic Pressure (UHP) in Food
Industry application since they do not permit full penetration and leave overlaps and
crevices that are very difficult to clean, creating virtual leaks.
The purpose for the bottoming clearance in a Socket Weld is usually to reduce the
residual stress at the root of the weld that could occur during solidification of the weld
metal, and to allow for differential expansion of the mating elements.
Fittings for Socket Weld Pipe systems
HALF-COUPLING
FULL-COUPLING The Half Coupling can be
A Full Coupling, joins pipe two directly welded to the run pipe,
pipe or to a nipple etc.. to make a branch connection.
TEE STRAIGHT
This Tee makes 90° branch
from the main run of pipe.
ELBOW 90°
This Elbows make 45°
changes of direction in the run
of pipe.
CROSS
Crosses makes 90° branch CAP (END CAP)
from the main run of pipe. Seals the end of pipe.
