Reducers can be categorized as seamless, welded, and butt-welded. They can be categorized as concentric or eccentric, and commonly used materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel. By standard, they can be categorized as national, Ministry of Chemical Industry, power plant, shipbuilding, American, European, Russian, German, and Japanese. Common forming processes include reducing, expanding, or both. Stamping can also be used for some reducer sizes.
Classified by Shape types
Concentric reducers
Concentric reducers feature a symmetrical conical structure, with both ends and the midpoint located on the same centerline. They are suitable for connecting vertical pipes of varying diameters or for systems where horizontal alignment is not necessary.
The smooth transition of fluid along the tapered channel effectively reduces turbulence and pressure drop, making them suitable for applications such as chemical, oil and gas, and water treatment, where center alignment and uniform flow rates are crucial. Their manufacturing process is relatively simple and cost-effective.

eccentric reducer
Eccentric reducer has one flat side and one tapered side, with misaligned centerlines. It can be installed with the flat side facing up or down to prevent liquid or air accumulation. With the flat side facing up, it’s ideal for horizontal liquid flow, preventing air pockets at the top of the pipe. With the flat side facing down, it’s suitable for steam or aerated systems, facilitating drainage and supporting pipe racks.
Eccentric reducers are suitable for pump inlets and horizontal pipelines, stabilizing suction performance and preventing cavitation. However, due to their slightly more complex manufacturing and strict installation orientation requirements, they are slightly more expensive than concentric reducers.
