GOST 17378 Concentric & Eccentric Reducers – Steel Pipe Fittings Supplier
GOST 17378 concentric and eccentric reducers are essential steel pipe fittings used to connect pipes of different diameters in industrial pipeline systems. Manufactured in accordance with the GOST 17378 standard, these reducers ensure precise dimensions, high strength, and reliable performance in demanding environments such as oil & gas, petrochemical, power plants, and water treatment facilities.
As a professional supplier of GOST pipe fittings, we provide high-quality reducers in various sizes, materials, and specifications to meet global project requirements.
What Are GOST 17378 Concentric & Eccentric Reducers?
GOST 17378 reducers are butt weld fittings designed to change pipe diameter, ensuring smooth flow transition and pressure control within a pipeline.
🔹 Concentric Reducers
Concentric reducers have a symmetrical cone shape where the centerlines of both ends align. They are commonly used in vertical pipelines or systems where flow symmetry is required.
Key benefits:
Smooth and uniform flow
- Reduced turbulence
- Ideal for vertical piping systems
🔹 Eccentric Reducers
Eccentric reducers feature an offset design with one side flat. They are typically used in horizontal pipelines to avoid air pockets or liquid accumulation.
Key benefits:
- Prevents air entrapment
- Reduces cavitation risk in pump systems
- Ensures stable fluid flow
