Branch Connection Reinforcing Pad Calculations

ASME B31.9-2012, Building Services Piping, contains a method for determining
whether a reinforcing pad is needed for a branch connection. This spreadsheet contains
that formula and input data. The industry owes the late Mr. Paul Bourquin, Founding
Chairman of B31.9 committee, a big "Thank you!" for developing this formula and the
spreadsheet. and for getting it into B31.9 .
