Pipe with reducer 3D print model

A pipe with reducer is a configuration where a reducer fitting is used to connect two pipes of different diameters, allowing for a smooth transition in flow size within a piping system. Reducers come in two main types: concentric, which maintains the same centerline, and eccentric, which offsets the centerlines to prevent air accumulation or ensure proper drainage. This setup is essential in systems that require flow rate adjustments, pressure management, or compatibility between different equipment sizes. Commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, water treatment, HVAC, and chemical processing, reducers are typically made from steel, stainless steel, PVC, or other materials suitable for the fluid and pressure conditions.
