See Intersection Types in the CAESAR II Quick Reference Guide.
Other non-FRP piping codes
Select a tee type or a joint type. The tees correspond to 1 through 6 and 14 through 17 and the joints correspond to 7 through 13 in the table Properties Used for SIF Calculations with Other Metallic Piping Codes.
BS 7159 and UKOOA
Select Moulded or Fabricated. A moulded tee corresponds to either the Welding (3) or Extruded (6) welding tee Type. A fabricated tee corresponds to a tee Type of Reinforced (1).
ISO 14692 2005
Select one of three types of tee and joints: Tee (1), Qualified Tee (3), and Joint (2). Select 1 - Tee for the software to use the method specified in the ISO 14692 code for non-qualified tees. Select 2 - Joint for CAESAR II to use the calculations specified in the code for joints and fittings. Select 3 - Qualified Tee for the software to use the code-specified calculation for qualified service stress for tees (including the pressure stress multiplier, mpst).
ISO 14692 2017
Select 1 - Tee for a SIF of 1.5 or 2 - Other for a SIF of 1.0.
ASME NC and ND piping codes
These codes do not include equations for SIFs with a tee Type of Sweepolet (4), Weldolet (5), or Extruded (6). When you specify one of these tee types, CAESAR II uses B31.1 equations.
IGE/TD/12
Select one of eleven types of tees and joints. For specialized diagrams of tee type with this code, see Properties Used for SIF Calculations with Other Metallic Piping Codes and IGE\TD\12 Reference.
