A [[Branch pipe|branch pipe]] conveys steam from the throttle to the input of a cylinder. Most steam locomotives have two [[Branch pipe|branch pipes]] , one for each cylinder, that split off a single feed from the throttle.

== Calculating Diameter ==

The diameter of a [[Branch pipe|branch pipe]] can be computed with the formula given below, from [https://books.google.com/books?id=HH44010PrjgC&pg=PA159&lpg=PA159&dq=steam+locomotive+branch+pipes&source=bl&ots=WAK6_BsqFK&sig=ACfU3U2BK38kZ_XBqnkVrY5bv4YJ0UbSbA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi6goPLgbfhAhXhmq0KHTvFA8IQ6AEwFXoECAcQAQ#v=onepage&q=steam%20locomotive%20branch%20pipes&f=false "A Treatise on the Steam Engine"].

: The following rule gives the usual diameter of the [[Branch pipe|branch steam pipe]] for locomotive engines.

:: RULE - <i>To find the diameter of the [[Branch pipe|branch steam pipe]] for the locomotive engine - Multiply the square of the diameter of the cylinder in inches by 0.021. The product is the diameter of the [[Branch pipe|branch steam pipe]] for the locomotive engine in inches.</i>

:: Example - Required the diameter of the [[Branch pipe|branch steam pipes]] for a locomotive engine, when the cylinder's diameter is 15 inches. Here, according the rule, diameter of [[Branch pipe|branch pipe]] is computed as:

::: branch pipe diameter = 0.021 x 15<sup>2</sup> = 0.021 x 225 = 4.725 inches
