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.
Production Specifications
Our reducers are available in a wide range of dimensions and thicknesses:
- Diameter Range: From 1/2″ to 48″, accommodating both small-scale and large-scale industrial applications.
- Wall Thickness: From 3mm up to 40mm, available in schedules such as SCH5, SCH10, and up to XXS, ensuring compatibility with high-pressure environments.
Material Grades and Standards
- Materials: Manufactured in Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, Duplex, Nickel Alloys, and even Copper, catering to a diverse range of chemical and physical conditions.
- Standards: Our reducers are produced in compliance with international standards including ASME B16.9, ASME B16.25, DIN2605, and EN10253, ensuring global acceptance and reliability.
Applications Across Industries
Pipe reducers are essential in numerous sectors such as oil and gas, power generation, petrochemicals, and shipbuilding due to their ability to ensure efficient fluid flow across different pipe sizes. The choice between concentric and eccentric reducers often depends on the specific requirements of the system, such as pressure drops, pump alignment, or space constraints.
Quality Assurance and Customization
- Quality Control: Each reducer undergoes rigorous inspection processes to ensure compliance with ASTM, ASME, MSS, DIN, EN, and JIS standards. Our quality assurance program includes visual inspections, dimensional accuracy, and material conformity.
- Customization: We offer custom-sized reducers to fit specific requirements, along with a range of value-added services such as galvanizing, epoxy coating, and electro-polishing to enhance the product’s durability and performance.
Marking & Packing
To guarantee safety and quality during transit, our reducers are securely packaged in wooden cases and marked with essential details like grade, size, and heat number. Custom marking is available on request to meet specific project requirements.
