Tech/Engineering - Petroleum Eng/Sci / Gas pipeline
French term or phrase: weldolet
This appears in a table detailing how pipes may be connected to each other, either the same or different size. There are equal Tees, reducing Tees and 'weldolets' and 'sockolets'. I assume that it is French.

weld or weldment


Explanation:
For more than 20 years, I worked for a company that did butt-welding of bandsaw blades.

In general, in US English, the usage is weld, but I have seen weldment used in other English-speaking applications.
