Part 1: Welded Tee Connections Of Pipes Exposed To Slowly Increasing Internal Pressure
Summary
Burst pressure data available in the literature from 1939 to 1982 for welded tee connections of pipes have been correlated using both the thickness rati's and diameter rati's of branch and run pipe.The correlation indicates that a variation of burst pressure is weak with thickness rati's for constant diameter rati's but significant with diameter rati's for constant thickness rati's but only when the thickness ratio increases toward one.
