When it comes to reducers, I believe everyone is familiar with them. Reducers, also known as reducers, are used to connect pipes of different sizes. They are primarily used to connect piping systems. However, because the midpoints of their inner diameters are different, reducers are categorized as concentric and eccentric reducers. So, do you know the difference between concentric and eccentric reducers? How are they used? And in what situations are they useful? Let's take a look.
Before understanding the difference and applications of concentric and eccentric reducers, we must first understand what an eccentric reducer is and what a concentric reducer is.
An eccentric reducer is a reducer whose centers are not aligned. Its function is to attach pipes to a wall or floor without taking up space. It also connects two pipes of different diameters to change the flow rate. A concentric reducer is a reducer whose centers are aligned.
Common forming processes include reducing and expanding, or reducing and expanding. Stamping can also be used to create pipes of varying diameters for certain specifications.
Applications of Concentric and Eccentric Reducers:
Eccentric reducers
Because the end diameters differ, they can be connected to pipes or flanges of different diameters to change the diameter.
When the ends are aligned, they are typically used to reduce the diameter of gas or vertical liquid pipelines.
When the ends are circumferentially inscribed, they are typically used for horizontal liquid pipelines.
When the tangent point of the pipe ends faces upward, they are top-mounted and are commonly used at pump inlets to facilitate venting. When the tangent point faces downward, they are bottom-mounted and are typically used for control valves and drains.
Because one side of the eccentric reducer is flat, it facilitates venting or draining, and is easy to start up and maintain. Eccentric reducers are often used for horizontal liquid pipelines.
Concentric Reducers
Concentric reducers are not susceptible to corrosion, pitting, erosion, or wear. Therefore, it can fully utilize its excellent functions and performance in the industry and play an important role. Furthermore, concentric reducers are one of the strongest metal materials used in construction.
After the above detailed introduction to the differences and applications of eccentric and concentric reducers, everyone should have a clear understanding. After all, only by understanding their differences can we choose the appropriate reducer and use it in different locations to maximize its importance.
