Reducers are reducing pipe fittings used to connect pipes of different diameters. They are primarily categorized as concentric reducers and eccentric reducers. Concentric reducers have their center points aligned, while eccentric reducers do not.
Production Standards and Materials
Welded reducers are also important pipe connection components. Materials include stainless steel, alloy steel, and carbon steel. According to national, American, and British standards, the quality of reducers must meet relevant national standards.
The production of reducers must comply with national, American, and British standards. Common materials include stainless steel, alloy steel, and carbon steel.
Processing Methods
During the production process, expansion forming is a common process. This involves using a die to expand the diameter of a pipe blank smaller than the larger end of the reducer. This addresses the difficulty of reducing the diameter of a reducer with a larger diameter. Depending on the material and product requirements, cold or hot pressing may also be used for deformation and compaction. Furthermore, some reducer sizes can be produced using steel plate stamping.
Diameter expansion is a common process, which uses internal die expansion to solve the problem of large diameter changes. Cold pressing or hot pressing is sometimes also used, and some specifications can be formed by steel plate stamping.
