Numerical stress calculation results of stress distribution around 90{degree} branch pipe connection due to internal pressure for several main and branch pipe diameter ratios using finite element program MECHANICA (RASNA) are presented in this paper. The calculation results are presented in two types of diagrams, one is in the form of stress versus its location on the main and branch pipe curves for 4 different diameter ratios and the other as stress concentration factor versus diameter ratios curves for the case d/t = D/T and t = T and for three pipe schedule number 40, 80 and 160.
