Buttweld Reducer

ASME/ANSI B16.9, ANSI B16.28, MSS-SP-43 Concentric Reducer Suppliers

A concentric reducer is a type of pipe fitting used to connect two pipes of different diameters in a piping system. It maintains a centerline axis between the two ends, meaning both ends of the reducer are aligned along the same centerline. The purpose of a concentric reducer is to transition from a larger pipe to a smaller pipe, or vice versa, while ensuring smooth fluid flow and minimizing turbulence.

An eccentric reducer is a type of pipe fitting used to connect two pipes of different diameters while maintaining an offset between the centerline of the pipes. Unlike a concentric reducer, which has a symmetrical, conical shape, an eccentric reducer has a non-centered design. One end is larger and the other smaller, with the change in diameter happening at an angle.
