Symmetric and Eccentric Steel Reducers for Welding – What Is the Difference and How to Install Them?

Steel reducers for welding are used to connect two pipe sections of different diameters.
They are used, among others, in industrial, process, water, steam, gas and heating installations.

The most important difference between a symmetric and an eccentric reducer is not limited to appearance.
The different design of the reducer affects the routing of the installation, the flow of the medium and the possibility of air, gas or condensate accumulation.
