Eccentric Pipe Reducer
In piping systems, reducers play a critical role in connecting pipes of different diameters. An eccentric pipe reducer is specifically designed to maintain a consistent bottom level while allowing for a gradual change in pipe size. This type of reducer is often used in horizontal flow systems where air pockets must be avoided. Longrun supplies eccentric reducers designed for durability and efficient fluid handling across industrial and commercial applications.
An eccentric reducer is a pipe fitting that connects two pipes of different diameters with the centerlines offset. Unlike concentric reducers, which are symmetrical, an eccentric reducer has one side flat. This design allows it to maintain alignment with one side of the piping system, typically the bottom or top, depending on the installation requirements.
Eccentric reducers are used in various systems where controlling fluid flow and preventing air accumulation are essential:
Pump suction lines: Prevent air from being trapped in the pipe, which can cause cavitation and damage pumps.
Horizontal pipelines: Maintain consistent bottom levels for effective drainage.
Process piping in chemical, oil & gas, and water treatment plants: Support flow control where precise alignment is necessary.
Eccentric reducers can be made from different materials depending on the system requirements:
Carbon steel
Stainless steel
Alloy steel
PVC or other plastics for non-metallic systems
Longrun offers reducers in a variety of materials and standards, including ASME, DIN, and JIS, to meet regional and industry-specific needs.
