Concentric & Eccentric Reducers for Pipe Size Transition
Krishna Forge manufactures high-quality butt weld reducers designed for efficient pipe size transition in piping systems. Our reducers are precision-engineered to ensure smooth flow transition, minimal pressure drop, and optimal performance in various industrial applications.
Size Range: 1/2" to 48"
Wall Thickness: Schedule 10 to XXS
Types: Concentric, Eccentric
Pressure Class: 150 to 2500
Ends: Butt Weld
Reduction Ratio: Up to 4 sizes
Comprehensive range of reducer fittings for various industrial applications
Centerline of both ends is the same, creating a symmetrical cone shape. Used in vertical piping or where air entrapment is not a concern.
One edge is straight, preventing air accumulation. Used in horizontal piping to maintain pipe bottom or top alignment.
Long taper length for minimal pressure drop in high-velocity applications and sensitive flow systems.
Short length for space-constrained installations where pressure drop is not critical.
Custom reducers for connecting pipes with significant diameter differences (more than 2 sizes).

Guidelines for selecting the right reducer for your application
Consider fluid type, velocity, and flow regime
Select taper angle based on allowable pressure loss
Choose length based on available installation space
