ASTM B366 / ASME SB366 UNS N06600 Inconel 600 Nickel Alloy Concentric Reducer

ASTM B366 / ASME SB366 UNS N06600 Nickel Alloy 600 Concentric Reducer

A concentric reducer is a type of fitting that is used to connect two pipes of different diameters in such a way that the center lines of the pipes are aligned. The reduction in diameter is gradual, forming a conical shape. This design ensures that the fluid flow remains smooth and uninterrupted, making it ideal for applications where there is a need for a consistent flow rate.

On the other hand, an eccentric reducer is designed to connect two pipes of different diameters in such a way that the center lines of the pipes are not aligned. The reduction in diameter is also gradual, forming a conical shape, but the offset centerline creates an area of turbulence in the fluid flow. This design is useful in applications where there is a need to remove air or gases from the system, as the turbulence can help to separate these elements from the fluid.
