Latrolet

Creating a branch from the run pipe or dividing flow

Specialist selection guide

What should be reviewed before selecting this product?

Latrolet belongs to the Reinforced branch outlets family. Technical selection must start from actual service conditions, followed by verification of dimensions, pressure-temperature duty, material, connection, construction standard, testing and manufacturer documentation against the project piping class.

Technical selection path

  1. 1

    Extract run size from the project specification and verify it against the manufacturer proposal

  2. 2

    Extract branch size from the project specification and verify it against the manufacturer proposal

  3. 3

    Extract run and branch schedule from the project specification and verify it against the manufacturer proposal

  4. 4

    Extract angle from the project specification and verify it against the manufacturer proposal

  5. 5

    Extract outlet end from the project specification and verify it against the manufacturer proposal

  6. 6

    Extract material grade from the project specification and verify it against the manufacturer proposal

Key strengths

  • Selection within the established Reinforced branch outlets family
  • Compatibility review across project materials and connections
  • Structured technical comparison before final enquiry

Selection limitations

  • A trade name or product name alone does not define the technical specification
  • Pressure-temperature limits depend on material, design and standard edition
  • Substitution requires dimensional, functional and documentation verification

Typical applications

Where can this option be considered?

  • Evaluation for Oil and gas projects subject to service-condition approval
  • Evaluation for Refining projects subject to service-condition approval
  • Evaluation for Petrochemical projects subject to service-condition approval

Reference standards

A standard does not replace the project specification

Common technical questions

Concise answers before enquiry

What information is required to enquire about Latrolet?

At minimum provide run size, branch size, run and branch schedule, angle, outlet end and fluid conditions. Final documentation requirements follow the project specification.

Are two Latrolet products with the same name interchangeable?

No. Installation dimensions, pressure-temperature rating, wetted materials, connection, test method and material certification must be checked independently.

Primary purpose

Creating a branch from the run pipe or dividing flow

Best suited to

Equal or reducing branches in a piping network

Selection watchpoint

Run and branch sizes, reinforcement, load direction and stress requirements
