METHOD FOR MAKING T-BRANCH JOINTS FOR PIPES

摘要

The invention relates to a method for making T-branch joints for pipes. The method comprises making a hole (3) in a pipe (1) to be branched and attaching a branch pipe (2) by welding to the edges of the hole. Welding is conducted from inside the pipes. The hole (3) is made smaller than the internal diameter of the branch pipe (2) with edges (4) of the hole (3) providing a step which extends inside the internal diameter of the branch pipe. The material of the step (4) is melted by internal welding to form part of a weld joint (5).
