RE: Hi. What's the name of these branch
They are just tacked on at the moment
A closer look makes me think the branch connection is the socket welded version so a "sockolet"
Theres some more information on this post or search weldolet http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=418080

A Star for you.
I agree on the "sockolet" call.
Sometimes its possible to do all the right things and still get bad results

Nozzle is typically a piece of pipe welded in, with or without re-inforcement.
A "sockolet" is a single piece item which doesn't need re-inforcement.
This, to me, is a nozzle.

The fittings and their design would be dependent on the design code, i.e., whether reinforcement was needed, etc.
I suspect the fitting in the photograph would have different trade names depending on the manufacturer. They look like half socket couplings to me. I couldn't tell if they were integrally reinforced branch fittings from the photograph. I doubt they are IRBFs because I could not see a beveled edge where the tack welds were located and I did not see any radius where the fittings butted up against the vessel wall.
As mentioned, I could not tell if these were branch fitting welded to a run pipe or if they were welded to a vessel.
Merry Christmas everyone.

However, the term "Sock-o-let" is a trade name. As mentioned previously by Little Inch, B31.3 uses the generic term "integrally reinforced branch fitting".
Merry Christmas!
