Popis: This paper presents finite element data for 92 reinforced butt-welded branch outlet piping junctions designed according to the ASME B31.3 process piping code, for the purpose of investigating their effectiveness in the light of data for un-reinforced fabricated tee junctions. The data suggest that the reinforcement provided under the ASME B31.3 design is effective for the internal pressure load case and all external bending moment loads with the exception of branch out-of-plane bending for thin-walled assemblies.
