Branch Connection, Braze Welding, Brazing, Butt Joint, Butt Weld, Bypass on General Definitions continue

Still continue with General Definitions from letter B and now we will write about Branch Connection, Braze Welding, Brazing, Butt Joint, Butt Weld, Bypass. I hope this article will make us better and better.

Branch Connection. 
Branch Connection

The attachment of a branch pipe to the run of a main pipe with or without the use of fittings.

Braze Welding. 

Braze Welding

A method of welding whereby a groove, fillet, plug, or slot weld is made using a nonferrous filler metal having a melting point below that of the base metals, but above 800 F.
The filler metal is not distributed in the joint by capillary action.5 (Bronze welding, the term formerly used, is a misnomer.)

Brazing. 
A metal joining process in which coalescence is produced by use of a nonferrous filler metal having a melting point above 800_F but lower than that of the base metals joined. The filler metal is distributed between the closely fitted surfaces of the joint by capillary action.

Butt Joint. 
A joint between two members lying approximately in the same plane.

Butt Weld. 
Butt Weld Pipe
Weld along a seam that is butted edge to edge.

Bypass. 
A small passage around a large valve for warming up a line. An emergency connection around a reducing valve, trap, etc., to use in case it is out of commission.

That's all for now, and in the next post we will continue the general definitions of piping systems from Piping & Fabrication, hope all this article will be useful to all of us.
