H300 Introduction (Si Units) : Para. 304.3.3

This document provides two examples of calculating reinforcement requirements for welded branch connections in piping systems. The first example calculates the reinforcement needed for a DN 200 pipe with a DN 100 branch, determining that the existing reinforcement is sufficient. The second example analyzes a DN 200 branch on a DN 300 header reinforced by a ring, finding the maximum design pressure if the temperature is -195°C. Both examples reference standards and use equations to determine necessary wall thickness and reinforcement area at given pressures and temperatures.

H300 INTRODUCTION (SI UNITS)

The following examples are intended to illustrate the


application of the rules and definitions in para. 304.3.3
for welded branch connections.
H301 EXAMPLE 1
A DN 200 (NPS 8) run (header) in an oil piping system
has a DN 100 (NPS 4) branch at right angles (see
Figure H301). Both pipes are Schedule 40 API 5L
Grade A seamless. The design conditions are 2068 kPa
at 200°C. The fillet welds at the crotch are minimum
size in accordance with para. 328.5.4. A corrosion allowance of 2.5 mm is specified. Is additional
reinforcement
necessary?
Solution
From Appendix A, S = 110 MPa for API 5L Grade A
(TableA-1M);E=1.0forAPI5Lseamless
(Table A-1B); W = 1.0.
Th = (8.18)(0.875) = 7.16 mm
Tb = (6.02)(0.875) = 5.27 mm

Minimum leg dimension of fillet weld
4.21/0.707 = 6.0 mm
Thus, the required area
A1 = (2.04)(108.8)(2 sin 90 deg) = 222 mm2
The reinforcement area in run wall
A2 = (108.8)(7.16 2.04 2.5) = 285 mm2
in branch wall
A3 = (2)(6.93)[(5.27 1.07) 2.5] = 24 mm2
in branch welds

( )
A4 = (2) 1 2 (6.0)2 = 36 mm2
The total reinforcement area = 345 mm2. This is more
than the 222 mm2 so that no additional reinforcement is
required to sustain the internal pressure.
H302 EXAMPLE 2
There is a DN 200 (NPS 8) branch at right angles to a DN
300 (NPS 12) header (Figure H301). Both run and branch
are of aluminum alloy Schedule 80 ASTM B241 6061-T6
seamless pipe. The connection is reinforced by a ring 350
mm O.D. (measured along the run) cut from a piece of DN
300 (NPS 12) Schedule 80 ASTM B241 6063-T6 seamless
pipe and opened slightly to fit over the run pipe. Allowable
stresses for welded construction apply in accordance with
Appendix A, Note (33). The fillet welds have the minimum
dimensions permitted in para. 328.5.4. A zero corrosion
allowance is specified. What is the maximum permissible
design pressure if the design temperature is -195°C?
Solution
From Table A-1, S = 55.2 MPa for Grade 6061-T6
(welded) pipe and S = 39.3 MPa for Grade 6063-T6
(welded) pad, both at -195°C. From Table A-1B, E =
1.0 for ASTM B241; W = 1.0.
