How many bypasses can a φ18 steam tracing pipeline have at most? ?

Question: How many bypasses can a φ18 steam tracing pipeline have at most? ? How is the full-diameter pipeline calculated? Should steam pipelines (gaseous) be different from liquid pipelines? Please, masters, could you explain it? Formulas and explanations would be great; thank you very much.
1. The number of branches depends on whether the heat supply from the branch pipes and the main pipe is sufficient; if it is, you can install as many tees as you want. 2. I don’t understand what \"full diameter\" means in the second question. 3. What kind of medium is the liquid? Are you asking about steam and condensate? Is it acceptable to explain this by saying that in the same heat tracing tube, the liquid phase has a smaller diameter and lower pressure than the vapor phase?
It is recommended that the original poster check the SH/T 3040 Standard for the Design of Pipelines Accompanying Petrochemical Pipelines and Jacketed Pipelines.
One heat trace runs the entire length with no branches in between
