1) What is the minimum distance to be maintained between two welds in a pipe?

The thumb rule is that the minimum distance between adjacent butt weld is 1 D . if not, it is never closer than 1 – 1/2 “ . this is

! is greater.
than 4 times the pipe wall thickness or 25 mm whichever

2) What are weldolet and socket? And where they are used?

Welolet and sockolet are basically self – reinforced fitting. Weldolet is used for butt weld branch connection where standard
tee is not available due to size restriction and the piping is of critical/high pressure service. sockolet is used for socket welding
branch connection , which require reinforcing pad

3)What do you mean by Jacketed piping ?

Piping which is recognized as providing the most uniform application of heat to the process , as well as maintaining the most
uniform processing temperatures where steam tracing is not capable of maintaining the temperature of fluid constant. Usually
used for molten sulphur, polymers service.

When fluid is gas, air or steam and cryogenic service – topside when fluid is liquid – bottom side

9)What is the difference between pipe and tube ?

Pipe is identified by NB and thickness is defined by schedule whereas tube is identified by OD & its thickness as BWG (
Brimingham Wire Gauge or 1/100 inch ).

10)From which size onwards NB of pipe is equal to OD of pipe ?

From the size 14 “ and onwards NB = OD of pipe

11)What should be the radius of long radius elbow ? Suggested For You

12)How can flanges be classified based on pipe Attachment? and Should not Incl

Flanges can be classified based on pipe attachment as-slip-on. The slip on type flanges are attached by welding inside as
well as outside. These flanges are of forged construction
Socket weld – The socket weld flanges are welded on one side only. These are used for small bore line only . Piping Stress Types

Screwed – The screwed-on flanges are used on pipe lines where welling cannot be carried out
Lap joint – The lap joint flanges are used with stub ends. The stub ends are welded with pipe & flanges are kept loose over
