Condition 1: Condition 3:
1a) 1b) Angle β is at least 45 deg

A pipe having a branch connection is weakened by the opening that

must be made in it and, unless the wall thickness of the pipe is sufficiently
in excess of that required to sustain th pressure, it is necessary to provide
added reinforcement. The amount of reinforcement required to sustain
the pressure shall be determined in accordance with paragraph 304.3.3 or
304.3.4 of the ASME B31.3-2012
