Details
Core Function:
- They facilitate a transition between two pipes of varying sizes within a piping system.
- A reducing flange combines these functions into a single unit instead of using a separate reducer fitting along with standard flanges.
Key Characteristics:
- Size Variation: A reducing flange has one flange face with a larger diameter and a bore with a smaller diameter. This allows it to mate with flanges of different nominal pipe sizes (NPS).
- Space Efficiency: They are particularly useful in situations where space is limited, as they eliminate the need for extra fittings.
- Types: Reducing flanges are available in various types, including:
- Weld neck reducing flanges
- Slip-on reducing flanges
- Threaded reducing flanges
Sizes range from 3/4" up to 16"
Applications:
- Oil and Gas Pipelines
- Chemical Processing Plants
- Power Generation Facilities
- Refineries
- Water Treatment Plants
- Any high-pressure or temperature piping application.
