Carbon Steel Butt Weld Reducer ASME B 16.9 Pipe Fittings
Carbon steel butt weld reducer is belong to ASME B16.9 pipe fittings,there are concentric reducer and eccentric reducer for chosen to meet different demands.
Carbon steel butt weld reducer is the most special pipe fitting of all fittings.For other fittings,they could be BW (butt welded),THD (threaded) and SW (socket weld),while reducer only have BW type.ASME B16.9 pipe fittings are pipe fittings according to American Standard.
BW Reducer have two types :Concentric and Eccentric.
Concentric Reducer
The two ends of concentric reducer are designed with large diameter and small diameter, and the pipe is connected through conical transition section on the same axis.
Eccentric Reducer
Eccentric reducers have different end sizes and are used to connect pipes with different diameters on the same axis.
ECC Reducer VS COC Reducer
- The joint effect of the two is that the diameter change needs to change from one specification to another.
- Concentric reducer is conducive to fluid flow, and the interference to fluid flow state is small when the diameter is reduced. Therefore, concentric reducers are used for gas and vertical flow liquid pipelines;
- One side of the eccentric reducer is flat, which is convenient for exhaust or liquid discharge, startup and maintenance. Therefore, eccentric reducer is generally used for horizontal liquid pipeline.
