Reducers Questions and Answers:
Item 01: Would changing the cone angle from 0.01 to 45 deg up the expansion stress ratio from 98% to ~ 145%?
Item 02: Calculate the weight of a typical pipe fittings (i.e. Tee, elbow, reducer, etc..)?
Item 03: Correctly model a reducer mounted to the branch of a Welded Tee
Item 04: Model a reducer with a branch connection
Item 05: Apply a specific pipe property to a Reducer
Item 06: Split an existing reducer into 2 reducers joined back to back
Item 07: Modify existing piping to insert a reducer
