    An NPS 8 run (header) in an oil piping system has
    an NPS 4 branch at right angles (see Fig. H301). Both
    pipes are Schedule 40 API 5L Grade A seamless. The
    design conditions are 300 psig at 400F. The fillet welds
    at the crotch are minimum size in accordance with para.
    328.5.4. A corrosion allowance of 0.10 in. is specified. Is
    additional reinforcement necessary?
