ANSI B16.9,B16.28 Reducer, also known as reducing elbow, is a pipe fitting used to connect two pipes with different diameters. Its primary function is to enable a smooth transition between pipe diameters, accommodating connection requirements between pipes of varying sizes or meeting different flow rate and velocity demands in system components.
Material Types
Reducers are commonly made from:
Carbon steel (cost-effective, widely used in general industrial and building piping systems)
Stainless steel (high corrosion resistance, ideal for food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries with stringent hygiene requirements)
Alloy steel, copper, aluminum, and plastic (for specialized environments).
Shape Classification
Concentric Reducer:
Both ends share the same centerline.
Ensures smooth fluid flow, suitable for vertical pipelines or horizontal systems requiring stable flow.
Eccentric Reducer:
Ends are offset; one side remains flat.
Prevents gas accumulation at the top or liquid pooling at the bottom in horizontal pipelines.
Used in drainage systems or pipelines transporting solid-containing liquids to prevent material deposition.
