To install an eccentric reducer, align the top flat side of the reducer with the upper pipe, ensuring that the bottom side is offset from the centerline of the lower pipe. Once aligned, weld or connect the reducer to the pipes using the appropriate method for the specific material being used. Finally, inspect the installation for proper alignment and seal before putting the system into operation.
An eccentric reducer is typically used in piping systems to connect pipes of different diameters, with one side of the reducer having a larger diameter than the other. It helps to maintain the flow velocity and reduce the pressure drop in the system by gradually transitioning the pipe diameter.
An eccentric swage and an eccentric reducer both serve to connect pipes of different diameters, but they differ in design and application. An eccentric swage is typically used to transition between two pipes of different sizes while maintaining a consistent elevation, allowing for a smooth flow in horizontal piping systems. In contrast, an eccentric reducer reduces the pipe diameter but can create a change in elevation, which may affect flow characteristics. Both components are essential in plumbing and piping systems, but their specific uses depend on the required flow dynamics and system design.
To find the true bottom of an eccentric reducer, first, ensure the reducer is oriented correctly with the flat side facing down. Use a level or measuring tool to check the vertical alignment at the bottom edge of the flat side. Measuring from the top edge of the reducer to a reference point on the flat side can help determine the true bottom. Finally, marking or noting this point can assist in accurate installation or connections.
To fabricate eccentric reducers using a formula, you start by determining the dimensions of the larger and smaller ends, including the diameters and the angle of the reduction. Using geometric principles, calculate the lengths and the angles required for the transition between the two diameters. The eccentric reducer's shape can be derived by using the equation for the surface area of a frustum of a cone, ensuring that the larger base aligns with the larger pipe and the smaller base with the smaller pipe. Finally, use these dimensions to create a template or a CAD model for precise cutting and shaping.
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
formula to find volume of an eccentric reducer
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).
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.

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.
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

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.
It is so that the inside bottom of the line can drain completely if required and no fluid or condensate will remain trapped. In other words the eccentric reducer keeps the bottom of the line straight.
