Pipe
Reducer
Pipe reducer are tube fittings that are widely used in a number of
industries in order to providing greatest connection flexibility in
connecting fractional tubes in various installations. Pipe reducer is a
kind of pipe fitting that joins two pipes of different diameter. The
pipe reducers are available in a range of materials depending on the end
use of the products and these fittings are manufactured in inch and
metric size.
Pipe
reducers are special type of tube fittings that are commonly used in the
demanding environments of chemical and power plants. They provide a
highly reliable, sturdy and tight integral line system and these type of
pipe fittings remain unaffected by shock, vibration or thermal
distortion. These pipe fittings are very easy to install and they resist
leakage due to thermal or pressure cycling. These reducers are sometimes
chrome or nickel coated to prevent corrosion and increase the life of
the product.
Buying tips Certain features to be considered are as
follows:
- DN (nominal diameter)
- O.D. (outside diameter)
- Distance from end to end (H)
- Standard: GB, HG, HGJ, SH, SY, DL, ASME, AN, SI, JIS, and DIN
- Whether seamless or welded
- Materials of construction
- Corrosion resistance
- Durability
