Reducing/Expanding

Expansion or reduction of the tube diameter is frequently employed to maintain a good balance between strength and length of a component. Transitions are smooth and free of the interference that results from the use of telescoping tubes. Generally, the wall thickness of the small diameter section will be slightly heavier than the larger diameter.

To avoid added operations, the ratio of the Small O.D. / Large O.D. should be .7 or greater.
