Carbon Steel Butt Weld Eccentric Reducer Fitting 

An eccentric reducer is a fitting used in piping systems between two pipes of different diameters. The same fitting can be used in reverse as an eccentric increaser or expander. They are used where the diameter of the pipe on the upstream side of the fitting (i.e. where flow is coming from) is larger than the downstream side, and where there is a danger that vapor may accumulate.  Unlike a concentric reducer, which resembles a cone, eccentric reducers have an edge that is parallel to the connecting pipe, referred to as the flat side. This parallel edge results in the two pipes having offset center lines. Because eccentric reducers are asymmetrical, they create asymmetrical flow conditions; flow is faster along the angled side, resulting in increased pressure. Features of eccentric reducers: ●Eccentric reducers have minimum turbulence entrapment and require minimum setting up space. ●These eccentric reducers absorb noise which is created by pipe…
