What is a Concentric reducer ?
A concentric reducer is used to join pipe sections or tube sections on the same axis.The concentric reducer is cone-shaped, and is used when there is a shift in diameter between pipes. For example, when a 1″ pipe transitions into a 3/4″ pipe and the top or bottom of the pipe doesn’t need to remain level.[This pipe reducer may be used when there is a single diameter change or multiple diameter changes.Unlike eccentric reducers, concentric reducers have a common center line. Concentric reducers are useful when cavitation is present. Eccentricity occurs when the centerline is offset.

Advantages of Concentric reducer
Concentric Reducers are useful to connect pipes as well as tubes on the same axis. This type of reducer offers an in-line conical passage between different dimensional pressurized pipes. A pipe reducer is available in various specifications, such as a single diameter change and also in a multiple diameter change
