rb = branch pipe mean radius, in
These equations are for integrally reinforced branch connections such as latrolets. By
the analogy used in Fig. NC-3673.2(b)-1 in Section III of the ASME Code, the SIF for
unreinforced 45 branch connections (stub-ins) can be obtained by multiplying the
factors obtained above by (4.4)2/3 = 2.685.
