Branch tables define the type of fitting (tee, reduced tee, weldolet, reinforced pad, and so forth) to be used for a branch off the main line. These branches may be of the same NPS (Nominal Pipe Size) as the main line, or a reduction. For each applicable branch pipe size off a main line pipe size (header/branch size combination) within the specification, you must specify the fitting to be used by selecting the appropriate group and part.

Branch tables are created and maintained on the S.40.05 Branches screen, which is found in the S.40 Geometric branch underneath Smart Reference Data in the menu tree.

Enter the name of the branch table in the Branch field and the descriptions in the Short Desc and Description fields. Select the units for the header (main pipe) and branch from the LOVs in the Unit (Header) and the Unit (Branch) fields. Finally, select a standard from the LOV in the Standard field, and then save the new branch table.

Click the Next Block button to open S.40.05 Window 2.

For each applicable header/branch size combination, you must enter a record in the Header/Branches block. Enter the NPS of the main pipe in the Dn Header field and the NPS of the branch pipe in the Dn Branch field. Next, select the appropriate commodity group and part from the LOVs in the Group and Part field. You can enter a comment in the Short Desc field.

Click the button to create and display an Excel sheet of the selected branch table. An example sheet is shown below.

SHARED Tip Instead of creating a new branch table from scratch, copy an existing branch table, rename the table, and maintain the content. To copy an existing table, select the branch table in S.40.05 Window 1 and click New Record (F6) and Duplicate Record Above (F4).
