Butt-weld reducers, concentric and eccentric (ASME B16.9), NPS ¾ to 12
What is the end-to-end length of a butt-weld concentric or eccentric reducer (ASME B16.9)? · Standard part · basis: ASME B16.9 dimensions as published in SHIELD's manufacturer table (mm); OD and Sch 40 wall per ASME B36.10 (Weldbend)
Also called: butt weld reducer dimensions, concentric reducer length, eccentric reducer dimensions, b16.9 reducer, weld reducer step, pipe reducer stl
Exact dimensions. True size, with no printing tolerance added.

Notes
- Concentric and eccentric reducers share the same end-to-end length H for each size pair. An eccentric reducer keeps one side straight (flat side down in a pump suction, up for drainage).
- Files: 2 × 1 and 4 × 2, concentric and eccentric, Schedule 40 at each end. The shape of the transition is the manufacturer's: the files run a straight cone over the full length between the two ends.
- OD and Schedule 40 wall: Weldbend prints OD rounded (1.32, 2.38 in); the files use the exact ASME B36.10 OD (1.315, 2.375, 4.500 in) with the Weldbend Sch 40 wall (.133, .154, .237 in). Fittings are made to match the pipe's OD and wall.
- Ends are drawn square. Real fittings are bevelled for welding to ASME B16.25; no public, citable statement of the bevel was found, so it is not drawn.
