Abstract
The connection of branches to pipelines in service often makes use of a reinforcing saddle assembled in a hot tapping operation. Although widely used, the stress levels in such junctions have not been established. This paper describes, in detail, the stress levels in a hot tapped saddle reinforced Tee junction between a 24 inch branch and 36 inch main pipe. Using the finite element method other geometries are also considered.
