Buttweld Pipe Reducer

Pipe reducers are fundamental components in industrial piping systems, serving the crucial function of connecting two pipes of different diameters. They facilitate the smooth transition of fluid flow within the system, reducing the size from a larger to a smaller bore (or vice versa). Primarily, there are two types of reducers used: concentric and eccentric reducers, each serving unique applications depending on the needs of the system. Types of Pipe Reducers Concentric Reducers: Commonly used where the center line of the pipeline remains consistent. These reducers are symmetrically round, reducing the diameter around the center. Eccentric Reducers: Ideal for installations that require maintaining one side of the piping system level, typically used in pump suction service to prevent air accumulation.
