Specifies the thickness of the reinforcing pad for reinforced fabricated or full encirclement tees (intersection type #1 and #17, respectively). The pad thickness is only valid for these intersection types. If the thickness of a type #1 or type #17 intersection is left blank or the value entered is zero, the software uses the SIFs for an unreinforced fabricated tee.

In most piping codes, the beneficial effect of the pad thickness is limited to 1.5 times the nominal thickness of the header. This factor does not apply in BS 806 or Z184 and is 2.5 in the Swedish piping code.
