Duplex 2205 Buttweld Pipe Fittings ASTM A815 UNS S32205 Eccentric Reducer

Concentric Reducer:

Shape: Both ends are centered on the same axis. It transitions uniformly from a larger to a smaller diameter.

Use: Commonly used in systems where the flow direction is maintained and space allows for the circular shape.

Eccentric Reducer:

Shape: One end is off-center, creating a sloped angle between the larger and smaller diameters.

Use: Often used in horizontal piping systems where the top of the pipe is critical for flow (like drainage) or to prevent air pockets.

Concentric Reducer:

Reduces flow with a smooth transition, minimizing turbulence.

Eccentric Reducer:

Can create situations where liquid flow is disrupted if not properly installed, but allows for better drainage and air elimination.

Concentric Reducer:

Best for vertical applications or where the flow is not likely to trap air.

Ideal for fluid transport where maintaining a consistent flow path is needed.

Eccentric Reducer:

Used when transitioning between horizontal and vertical pipes to avoid trapping air.

Helps maintain a constant flow in horizontally oriented piping systems.
