What is a pipe reducer?
A pipe reducer is a kind of fitting that is for connection between two different pipe sizes in pipe systems. It is made from a straight pipe or roll shape, which has two ends with different sizes. It is typically used to reduce the size of a pipe to fit a smaller pipe or fitting.
Pipe reducers come in different sizes, and are made from materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel etc., According to the different shapes, it is divided into the concentric type and eccentric type.
l Concentric reducer: A concentric reducer is a type of pipe fitting that is used to connect pipes of different sizes in a straight line. The concentric reducer has the same center line on both ends and the same center line as the tube. This allows for a smooth and gradual reduction in pipe size, which helps to maintain a consistent flow rate and reduce pressure drop in the system.
lEccentric reducer: An eccentric reducer is a type of pipe fitting that is used to connect pipes of different sizes while offsetting the center line of the pipes.
es. Eccentric reducers are commonly used in applications where drainage or flow direction needs to be controlled, as the offset design helps to prevent air or liquid buildup on the top or bottom of the system.
Application of eccentric reducer and concentric reducer
lConcentric reducers have no use scenario restrictions to connect tubes of different diameters. The advantage of the concentric reducer is smooth and efficient, because it does not cause shear and vortex of pipes, and it is also more convenient to repair and replace. They are commonly used in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications to ensure proper flow and connection between pipes of different sizes.
lEccentric reducers are generally used at the exits of corrosion-resistant pipes or pumps. Eccentric reducer has top flat and bottom flat two types. In some pipes, some impurities or fluid will sink, resulting in the blockage of the pipe, and the bottom flat-type reducer can prevent the blockage. In the pipeline that will gather gas, because the gas will rise in the pipeline, using a top flat eccentric reducer can avoid the accumulation of the gas on the top of the pipeline, and so that to smoothly discharge the gas.
