Dear all,
I modeled 96 inch with 96inch reinforced equal tee with pad,
Normally assumed 2D width for reinforcement pad, as per standard AWWA c208 tee Total length is 3232mm, So tee welding overlapping with reinforcement length,
My TEE is flanged tee, so flushing the weld is not possible.
So based on my internal pressure & temp ,I calculated 1.2D As per Reinforcement calculation ASME B31.3 code .
Can you suggest my assumption 1.2D is correct???
