Concentric Reducers VS Eccentric Reducers
Dec 18,2024
In Concentric Reducer the reduction of the pipe size is achieved by decreasing the diameter of the fitting at a constant rate over a specified length, maintaining symmetry around the fitting. Concentric Reducers are used to join pipe or tube sections of different diameters on the same axis. They provide an in-line conical transition between pressurized pipes of differing diameters. Thus, concentric reducers connect pipes of unequal size but have a common centerline. The same fitting can be used in reverse as an concentric expander.
Features of concentric reducers:
Concentric reducers will change kindly between the pump and piping. And concentric reducers are perfectly suitable to use in the exclusion of the pump.
These concentric reducers help to convey slurries and abrasive fluids and are useful to use in operations where corrosion is present.
These concentric reducers are beneficial to use where different ratings and wear protection are required in conveying between flanges or pipes.
In Eccentric Reducer the reduction of the pipe size is achieved by decreasing the diameter of the fitting at a constant rate over a specified length, maintaining one side of the fitting horizontally. An eccentric pipe reducer fitting is manufactured with the smaller outlet off center to the larger end, which allows it to align with only one side of the inlet. The same fitting can be used in reverse as an eccentric expander.
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 wall and fluid tolerated and decrease noise and vibration.
This type of pipe reducer is utilized with the flat side up in pump pressure to minimize cavitation.
