Specifies the type of tee or joint.

Non-FRP piping codes

Select one of six types of tees and ten types of joints. These elements correspond to 1 to 6 and 7 to 16 in the table Input Items Optionally Affecting SIF Calculations (Except for ISO 14692)*.

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).

IGE/TD/12

Select one of 11 types of tees and joints. For specialized diagrams of tee type with this code, see IGE\TD\12 Reference.

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.

You must define a tee as the appropriate tee in Type for the proper application of in-plane and out-of-plane SIFs along the tee's local axis. Otherwise, the software assumes the tee is a pipe and apples SIFs along the pipe's local axis.
