A concentric reducer is a round reducer in which the center line remains the same,like a bell. So, anytime you are piping and you need the center to remain constant a concentric is the right choice. the other type is called an ecentric. with it one side of the reducer remains flat. if you were piping across a floor for example.

Why concentric reducer is used in pump discharge?

The pump discharge reducer doesn't matter if it's concentric or eccentric. It's the pump SUCTION that needs to be an eccentric reducer that is always flat on top (F.O.T.) The eccentric reducer on the pump suction reduces pump cavatation (pump catching air).


What is usage of concentric and eccentric pipe reducer?

An eccentric reducer is mostly used to force air in a direction, normally towards a pump or airvalve so that it does not get trapped inside the pipework.


What is the formula to calculate the length of a concentric reducer?

What is the difference between eccentric and concentric reducer?

Concentric reducers are a symmetrical, conical shaped device that enlarges or reduces a pipes diameter equally about the centerline. An Eccentric reducer is not Symmetrical about the centerline. For example, envision the flow through a gravity based pipe... picture it in terms of an elevation section view... the eccentric reducer maintains the flowline (a straight continuous line along the bottom) while the pipe size decreases from the top down.


Why line reducer is used for centrifugal pumps?

cavitation formed wen concentric reducer in used. but wat is the use of reducer in the both suction and discharge side of the pump. if we dost use (conc & ecc) reducer in the both sides.. there is not effect on pump


What are the merits and demerits of replacing an eccentric pipe reducer with a concentric one?

Very depend on the application, concentric pipe had lower pressure drop and better flow distribution. However, in many case, eccentric pipe reducer is installed on propose to allow liquid drainage from reducing in horizontal pipe.

What is the function of an eccentric pipe reducer in the suction side of a pump?

if we use concentric reducer at suction of pipe ,due to high turbulence flow of fluid ,some vapour pressure generate which generate bad effects on impeller of pump ,which decrease pump efficiency , so to avoid this problem the eccentric reducer's use in pump suction


What is the use of concentric circles?

The use of concentric circles is most commonly used on a target. Concentric circles are placed around a target in which each concentric circle has the same center.
