Reinforcement Arca

The reinforcement area shall be the sum of the followrng


two areas.
1. The area lying within the reinforcement zone [defined
in 304.3.3 (d)l resulting from any excess
thickness available in the main run pipe wall and
branch pipe wall over that required by the proper
wall thickness equations, i.e., the thicknesses
Tr - - -
tn c and T6 - to c multiplied by appropriate
lengths. Any line having a thickness greater than
that required for corrosion allowance and for pressure
and other loading considerations will occasionally
be in service until the excess thickness is also
corroded away. If this is the basis of the design, the
excess thickness cannot be used for reinforcement of
pipe+o-pipe branch connections.
2. The area ofall other metal within the reinforcement
zone (defined in Section 304.3.3 (d) provided by
weld and other reinforcement metal properly attached
to the run of branch. In computing areas of
weld metal deposits, the minimum dimensions required
shall be used unless a definite procedure is
employed to instruct the welder to provide specific
larger dimensions, in which case lhe latter dimensions
may be used in calculations. Fortions of the reinforcement area may be composed of
materials other than those of the main run pipe, but if the
allowable stress of these materials is less than that for the
