(Le/D) for a Tee (used as elbow, entering branch) would be ____________________?
Correct answer: D. Both B. and C.
- A. Less than that for Tee (used as elbow, entering run)
- B. More than that for Tee (used as elbow, entering run)
- C. Around 90
- D. Both B. and C.
Explanation
Flow entering the branch of a tee makes a sharp turn and has a greater equivalent length than flow entering the run. Standard fitting tables commonly place the branch-entry value near 90 pipe diameters, making both statements in option d applicable.
