Butt Weld Fittings
M.E.G.A. stands out internationally for its advanced engineering in butt weld branch outlet fittings, offering a wide range of solutions designed for the most demanding industries.
Inserts Megalets: butt weld fittings for critical applications
The inserts Megalets are self-reinforced, contoured insert branch connections, designed for butt weld installation on header pipes. Shaped to comply with figure 328.5.4E or K328.5.4 of ASME B31.3, they provide superior performance under high-pressure and high-fatigue conditions.
Available in Type I and Type II configurations, Megalets ensure:
- Low Stress Intensification Factor (SIF) for enhanced fatigue resistance.
- 100% X-Ray and ultrasonic weld examination for maximum installation reliability.
- Butt-welded, socket-welded, threaded, and flanged options for versatile application.
- Design validation through Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and proof tests.
- Construction in all steel grades, nickel alloys, and titanium to meet diverse operational requirements.
Advanced design and manufacturing
M.E.G.A. leverages cutting-edge CAD/CAM systems and FEA for the precise engineering of Megalets. This ensures optimal geometry that allows easy installation and complete weld inspection, making them ideal for critical sectors such as Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Offshore, and Power Plants.
Each Megalet is forged in-house using M.E.G.A.’s state-of-the-art facilities, ensuring full traceability and adherence to strict quality standards. The process includes non-destructive testing (PT, UT, MT) and certified documentation, guaranteeing products of exceptional quality.
