Eccentric reducer is a special pipe fitting that connects two pipes of different sizes, but unlike a regular reducer, which is perfectly round and centered, the eccentric reducer looks uneven or lopsided. Its top edge is flat and straight, while its bottom edge slopes down. The main purpose of eccen

Socket weld is the connection method for small-bore, high-pressure piping systems. In socket weld fittings, a pipe is inserted into a recessed "socket" within a fitting, flange, valve, or other component, leaving a typical 1/16" or 1.5 mm gap before circumferential fillet welding is performed around the joint's exterior. This article shows the basics, how it works, types, applications, and installation, providing professionals with the insights needed, using our latest material expertise.
