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.
