Branchette™ versus Welding Tee

Where and Why to use an Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ in lieu of a Welding Tee

Wherever welding fittings are required use an Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ in lieu of a conventional
welding tee for the following reasons listed below:

a. Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ cost at least 50% less than a conventional welding tee.
b. Fabrication time to install an Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ is at least 50% faster than a conventional
welding tee.
c. An Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ requires two (2) welds, three (3) for a conventional welding tee.
d. Thus the Branchette™ eliminates one (1) weld and non-destructive and inspection cost.
e. Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ restores the run and branch pipes to their original pressure retaining strength.
f. Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ can be consolidated over a great number of run pipe sizes,
which reduce a stocking locations inventory.
g. Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ are flexible in fabrication, allowing you to install your run pipe,
then install the Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ at any location and orientation.
h. Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ are available in a greater number of materials and schedules.
i. Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ meet all current Piping and Pressure Vessel codes.

Fabricators, stocking distributors, and end user alike can enjoy the advantages that an Integrally Reinforced
Branchette™ employ over that of a conventional welding tee.

The diagrams below shows an Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ and a conventional welding tee. Both the
conventional welding tee and an Integrally Reinforced Branchette™ forms a “T” intersection, joining the run
and branch pipes together at a predetermined location.

E Branchette™
L* listed are subject to change without notice.

2) The values listed for the Elbow Branchette™ are based on a

long radius B16.9 elbow, two times the size of the listed
branch. The “E” dimension will vary slightly for larger or
smaller size elbows.

Root Gap
45º Run Pipe 3) Due to manufacturing tolerances on mating run pipes, angles
and radii for the 45º Lateral Branchette™ and the Elbow
Branchette™, the resultant “E” dimensions may vary more
than the “A” dimension of a standard 90º Branchette™.

Low-Weld Volume Branchette™ - Stainless Steel Applications
I. INTRODUCTION VI. MARKING
This standard practice covers essential information and data
required for the design and manufacture of Low Weld Volume
branch Connections.
II. SCOPE
This standard practice covers branch sizes 1/2” through 2” 3M
class in Socket-Weld or Threaded configuration, in accordance
with ASME B16.11.
Each fitting shall be permanently marked in accordance with
the rules established in MSS Standard Practice SP-25. The
marking shall include, (but not limited to) the following:
(a) Header Size or Consolidation (d) Material
(b) Branch Size (e) Heat Code
(c) Schedule (f) “WOI” Logo
Example: 36”-4” X 1” 3M A182-F316/L BFL “WOI”

III. DESIGN CRITERIA VII. WELDING

LWV-Branchettes have been designed in accordance with
ASME B31.1, B31.3 and Burst Tested in accordance with MSS-
SP-97-2001 Section 7 Annex B – “Records of Design and Proof
Test are Available”
IV. PRESSURE & TEMPERATURE RATINGS
Design temperature and other service conditions shall be
limited as provided by the applicable code or regulation of the
material of construction of the branch fitting.
Within these limits the maximum allowable pressure of a
branch fitting shall be calculated as for straight seamless pipe,
using the wall thickness as given in ASME B36.10 or B36.19 for
the size and applicable schedule of pipe, reduced by manufac-
turing tolerances and other allowances.
V. CONSTRUCTION
The bore at the branch connection shall be straight at the point
of attachment to the run pipe. The base of the branch connec-
tion shall be contoured to provide a good fit at the opening in
the run pipe, to permit complete penetration of the branch
weld at all points, and allow for a root gap of 1/16” to 1/8”.
Installation welding requirements are outside the scope of this
Standard Practice. Installation welding shall be done in accor-
dance with the applicable piping Code or regulation covering
the piping system into which the fittings are installed. Typical
branch attachments welds are shown in ASME B31.3.

Industry Terminology
Alloy Steel: Steel containing significant quantities of alloying ele-
ments (other than carbon and the commonly accepted amounts
of manganese, silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus) added to effect
changes in the mechanical or physical properties.
Brinell Hardness Test: A test for determining the hardness of a
material by forcing a hard steel or carbide ball of specified diam-
eter into it under a specified load.
Charpy Impact Test: A pendulum-type single-blow impact test in
which the specimen, usually notched, is supported at both ends
as a simple beam and broken by a falling pendulum. The energy
absorbed, as determined by the subsequent rise of the pendu-
lum, is a measure of impact strength or notch toughness.
Check Analysis: An analysis of the metal after it has been rolled
or forged into semi-finished or finished forms. It is not a check on
the ladle analysis, but is a check against the chemistry ordered,
i.e. Product Analysis.
Dye Penetrant Inspection: Non-destructive test employing dye
or fluorescent chemical and sometimes black light to detect sur-
face defects.
Elongation: The amount of permanent stretch, usually referring
to a measurement of a specimen after fracture is a tensile test.
It is expressed as a percentage of the original gauge length.
Hardness: A measure of the degree of a material’s resistance
to indentation. It is usually determined by measuring resistance
to penetration, by such tests as Brinell, Rockwell, and Vickers.
Heat: A Generic term denoting a specific lot of steel, based
upon a steel making and casting consideration.
Heat-Affected Zone: That portion of the base metal which was
not melted during brazing, cutting, or welding, but those
microstructure and physical properties were altered by the heat.
Heat Analysis: The Chemical Analysis determined by the steel
producer as being representative of a specific heat of steel.
Heat Number: The alpha, numeric, or alphanumeric designator
used to identify a specific heat of steel.
Heat Treatment: Heating and cooling a steel object in such a way
as to obtain desired conditions or properties.
Inspection: The Process of measuring, examining, testing,
gauging, or otherwise comparing the unit of product with the
applicable requirements.
Ladle Analysis: Chemical analysis obtained from a sample taken
during the pouring of steel, i.e. heat analysis.
1-888-610-0777 - 24 Hours Manufacturer of Components for the Piping and Pressure Vessel Industry
LAP: A surface defect, appearing as a seam, caused by folding
over hot metal, fins, or sharp corners and then rolling or forging
them into the surface, but not welding them.
Magnetic-Particle Inspection: A nondestructive method of inspec-
tion for determining the existence and extent of possible defects
in ferromagnetic materials. Finely, divided magnetic particles,
applied to the magnetized part, are attracted to and outline the
pattern of any magnetic-leakage fields created by discontinuities.
Manufacturer: The organization responsible for the conversion of
materials into products meeting the requirements of a product
specification.
Quenching: Rapid Cooling.
Reduction of Area: (1) Commonly, the difference, expressed as a
percentage of original area, between the original cross-sectional
area of a tensile test specimen and the minimum cross-sectional
area measured after complete separation. (2) The difference,
expressed as a percentage of original area, between original
cross-sectional area and that after straining the specimen.
Solution Anneal: heating steel into a temperature range wherein
certain elements or compounds dissolve, followed by cooling at
a rate sufficient to maintain these elements in solution at room
temperature. The expression is normally applied to stainless and
other special steels.
Stabilizing Treatment: Any treatment intended to stabilize the
structure of an alloy of the dimensions of a part. Heating
austenitic stainless steels that contain titanium, columbium, or
tantalum to a suitable temperature below that of a full anneal in
order to inactivate the maximum amount of carbon by precipita-
tion as a carbide of titanium, columbium, or tantalum.
Stainless Steel: A Steel that conforms to a specification that
requires, by mass percent, a minimum chromium content of 10.5
or more, and a maximum carbon content of less than 1.20.
Steel: A material that conforms to a specification that requires,
by mass percent more iron than any other element and a maxi-
mum carbon content of generally less than 2.
Tensile Strength: In tensile strength, the ratio of maximum load
to original cross-sectional area. Also called ultimate strength.
Ultrasonic Testing: The method of detecting defects or welds by
passing high-frequency sound waves into a material, then moni-
toring and evaluating the reflected signals.
Yield Strength:The stress at which a material exhibits a specified
deviation from proportionality of stress. An offset of 0.2% is used
for many materials.

How it Works:
Each outlet size indicated on the chart is
designed to fit a number of run pipe sizes,
e.g., The 1" fitting marked 36 - 4" x 1" will fit all
run pipe sizes from 4" to 36". When placed on
a 36" run pipe, there will be a maximum redial
gap of 1/16" between the top of the run pipe and
REF. FIG. UW-16.1(a) SECTION VIII DIVISION 1
the base of the fitting at the crotch as shown on
the sketch. This gap is negligible when welding.
