Stainless Steel 316L Metric Eccentric Reducer
The Stainless Steel 316L Metric Eccentric Reducer is engineered for pipeline systems that demand precision, reliability, and long term performance. Designed to connect two pipes or tubes of different metric diameters with offset centerlines, this fitting features one flat side and one angled taper, a geometry that does more than just bridge size differences. It actively prevents air and gas from becoming trapped in the line, supports efficient system drainage, and safeguards pumps from the damaging effects of cavitation and vapor lock.
Crafted from Grade 316L stainless steel, this reducer is built for environments where standard materials fall short. Its low carbon content minimises carbide precipitation during welding, so the joint retains its full corrosion resistance after fabrication, a critical advantage in high stakes applications. The molybdenum enhanced alloy delivers exceptional resistance to pitting and corrosion from chlorides, saline exposure, and aggressive chemical contact, making it a trusted choice across chemical and petrochemical processing, pharmaceutical and biopharma manufacturing, food and beverage production, and water treatment and marine pipeline systems.
Summary:
- Used to join two pipes or tubes of different metric diameters where the centrelines of the pipes are offset from one another
- One side of the fitting remains flat while the other tapers at an angle
- Prevents air/gas trapping
- Aids system drainage
- Pump protection
- Grade 316L making it exceptionally resistant to pitting and corrosion caused by chlorides, saline environments, and aggressive chemical processing
- Low carbon which prevents carbide precipitation during welding and ensures the join retains its anti corrosive properties
Applications:
