Industrial Forged Socket Weld Reducers| ASME 16.11, MSS SP-79, 83, 95, 97, BS 3799
A Socket Weld Reducer is a type of fitting used to connect pipes of different sizes in high-pressure systems. It features a socket connection at both ends, which allows for a smooth, reliable fit when welding the reducer onto the pipes. Socket weld reducers are typically used in applications where secure, leak-proof joints are required. They come in two primary types: concentric reducers, which maintain a centered flow of materials, and eccentric reducers, which are designed to avoid air pockets and maintain a consistent level of flow in horizontal piping systems. Made from materials like stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy steel, socket weld reducers are commonly found in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and water treatment. Their ability to withstand high pressures and temperatures, coupled with their ease of installation, makes them essential components for a wide range of piping systems.

Tailored Solutions for Every Need
Every project is different, which is why we offer customized threaded bushings to fit unique requirements. Whether you need a specific thread type, material grade, or dimensions, we work closely with our clients to ensure our products align with the exact needs of their applications.
Premium-Quality Materials
We use only the highest quality materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy steel, to manufacture our socket weld reducers.
Strict Adherence to Industry Standards
we follow the highest standards of manufacturing, ensuring all our socket weld reducers meet or exceed ASME B16.11, ASTM A105, ASTM A182, and other relevant international standards.
Customized Solutions for Unique Needs
We understand that every project has unique requirements. That’s why we offer customized socket weld reducers tailored to your specific needs. We works closely with clients to provide solutions that fit their exact specifications.
- Concentric reducers: Both ends of the reducer are centered on the same axis. These are commonly used when there is a need to reduce pipe sizes in a straight line.
- Eccentric reducers: One end of the reducer is offset, which allows for a smooth transition when pipes need to connect with different elevations or alignments.
- Strong, Leak-Free Joints: The socket weld connection provides a tight and secure fit, ensuring leak-free performance in critical systems.
- Compact Design: Socket weld reducers are compact and offer a smooth transition between pipe sizes, reducing the risk of flow turbulence.
- Durability: Made from corrosion-resistant materials, socket weld reducers are designed to withstand high pressures, temperatures, and harsh operating conditions.
The main difference between socket weld and butt weld reducers is in how they are connected to the pipes. In a socket weld reducer, one end of the reducer has a socket that allows the pipe to fit inside and be welded, while in a butt weld reducer, the pipe is welded directly to the reducer at the pipe's end. Socket weld reducers are ideal for smaller pipes and high-pressure applications, whereas butt weld reducers are commonly used for larger pipes.
