Pipe Reducer



A pipe reducer is a fitting used to connect pipes of different diameters. Its primary function is to achieve a reduced diameter connection within a piping system. It can smoothly change the flow rate and pressure of the medium within the pipe, ensuring smooth operation of the piping system.
Main Types
1. Concentric Reducer
- Conical shape with a consistent centerline
- Used for vertical pipes or where top/bottom flushing is required
- Reduces cavitation and turbulence
2. Eccentric Reducer
- One side is straight, the other is beveled
- Commonly used in horizontal pipes to prevent gas accumulation or liquid sedimentation
- Categories include “flush top” and “flush bottom” types
