    The document summarizes calculations to check if reinforcement is required for a branch connection on a pipe. It provides details of the main/carrier pipe and branch pipe. The calculations check if reinforcement is required according to AS 2885.1 and AS 4041 standards. The results show that no additional reinforcement is required as the provided wall thickness of the main and branch pipes is sufficient.
