When identifying a Tee Intersection in Caesar II, im not seeing the description or explanation for tee types 7-17. The Caesar user manual shows a legend with pictures for types 1-6 but nothing for types 7-17. Does anyone have any information or reference for these? Im mostly curious the difference between "welding" type and "butt-weld" type as they both seem to be the same.

Attached are two reference files: one that shows the type option in CII (7-17) and one that is pulled from the CII user manual showing types 1-6.

Thanks in advance,
Brett

ASME B31J Table 1-1 should show them.

Main difference is that "Welding" is actually a tee (a wrought fitting to B16.9). "Butt-weld" is for joints in the piping, which is only applicable for SIFs when there is an appreciable inner diameter change:

Here are better descriptions for 7 to 13, which are all joints. You can find drawings in them in ASME B31J Table 1-1 under their respective term.

14 - 16 are Bonney Forge connections:

15 - Bonney Forge Latrolet​
16 - Bonney Forge Insert Weldolet​

17 is a full encirclement saddle/tee:

This is very valuable information. When you explain how they are not all "TEE" intersections, it all makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to add all of the reference as well.

Best,
Brett
