The main purpose of a concentric reducer is to efficiently and productively connect/join two pipes of different sizes, dimensions, and gauges. In other words, a concentric reducer is the type of fitting required to connect pipes of different gauges. This product is manufactured from high-strength stainless steel. Some customers may request concentric reducers made from other metal alloys, such as carbon steel.
In general, concentric reduction is necessary for pipes used for a variety of purposes, whether for solids, gases, or fluids. Because it's widely used in industrial routines, it needs to have an excellent structure to withstand contact with corrosive materials and chemicals. The material boasts excellent mechanical strength.
Concentric reduction can be a beveled weld, with the most common being a butt weld, also known as a butt weld. In this case, the most popular product is carbon steel.
Among the industrial sectors that most use concentric reduction are:
- Pulp and Paper Industry;
- Alcohol plants;
- Sugar mills;
- Chemical industry;
- Oil industry;
- Steel Mills;
- Among others.
All industrial environments that have pipelines can use concentric reduction in their connections.
More information about concentric reductions
Now that the reader knows what concentric reduction is , it is necessary to find out about the sizes that are available on the market, especially at Unival, one of the main suppliers of industrial accessories in Brazil.
The concentric reduction sizes sold by the company range from ½" to 24". The company also fulfills orders on demand, manufacturing concentric reductions of special gauge sizes, with the end required by the customer's project, with or without seams, according to the technical conditions necessary to provide the customer with the security they require.
Benefits of concentric reduction
Concentric reduction fittings are a practical, affordable, and cost-effective connection, essential for tubular connections requiring durability and strength. Because they are used in industrial environments, Unival produces a material with high mechanical strength that can withstand moderate shocks, resists rusting and wear from exposure to the elements, withstands pressure, and has all the technical approvals required for the job.
Concentric reductions are used in pipelines that have pumps and valves, for central alignment of the pipe.
Unival manufactures seamless and seamless materials, with perfect wall thicknesses to ensure no discrepancies after welding. See some types of concentric reduction walls and their dimensions:
- SCH10
- SCH20
- SCH30
- SCH40
- STD
- SCH80
- SCH100
- SCH120
- SCH140
- SCH160
- Between others.
It is normal for there to be a connection between the gauge sizes and the wall thickness of concentric reduction type connections, as the material needs to have a perfect composition for industrial application.
The product undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure its durability. Unival offers its customers a guarantee and specialized service.
