As one of the chemical pipe fittings, the pipe reducer is for connecting two pipes of different diameters. There are concentric reducer and eccentric reducer. The generally used forming process is reducing pressing, expanding pressing or reducing plus expanding pressing. For the pipe reducer of certain specifications, stamping forming can also be employed.
