Schedule Concentric Reducer WP-S 316L
The Schedule Concentric Reducer WP-S 316L is a wrought, seamless pipe fitting engineered to connect two pipes of different diameters along a shared central axis, keeping fluid flow smooth, controlled, and precisely aligned. Fabricated from 316L low-carbon stainless steel, it delivers outstanding resistance to rust, corrosion, and aggressive chemicals, making it a reliable long term solution for demanding chemical, oil, gas, and water systems. Its bevelled edges allow it to be welded directly into permanent metal piping networks with a clean, secure join. Commonly installed on pump discharge lines, it helps regulate flow velocity as fluid moves between pipe sizes, reducing turbulence and protecting downstream equipment.
Summary:
- Used to join two pipes of different diameters along the same central axis
- The "WP-S" code means it is a wrought, seamless pipe fitting, and "316L" indicates low-carbon stainless steel that resists rust and harsh chemicals
- Keeps pipe centers aligned so fluid transitions evenly as it moves up or down
- Frequently placed on pump discharge lines to help control flow speed
Applications:
Used in chemical, oil, gas, and water systems where high resistance to rust is required
Welded directly into permanent metal piping networks using its bevelled edges
