What is a reduction link?
Reducing bonds are tubular fittings designed to allow the pipeline of different diameters. These fittings are usually used if small consumer or process feeders are connected to large supply circuits or where small diameters fittings are installed. For the most common pipes, reduction links, including steel, copper and PVC, are available, and for a wide range of size and configuration combinations. These fittings may be types of screwing, compression, soldering or adhesive connection depending on the application.
The connection of pipes or pipes of different diameters requires the use of a reduction bond. These special connecting pipe fittings are designed to facilitate the connection of a wide range of different pipe sizes while maintaining the integrity of the pipe circuit. Reducing bonds is usually no more than standard, two -way bonds with a profile and two different items. However, their designs can hold Mulple Connections, elbows or bends and ist created to y, t or cross junctions. Most types of pipes, such as copper, steel or PVC, have a number of general or application specific reducers.
The reduction bond used on steel pipes is generally a steel cast with standardized threads sliced to each end. These couplings will usually contain a simple, accelerated profile and screw into two pipe lengths in the same way as the standard pipe joint. There are also reduction of flange joints and have a part of the pipe diameter between the two flanges. Welded reducing constructions are similar to screws on examples, but do not contain any threads.
The connection of the copper tubing is similar to its counterpart made of steel pipes and is usually soldered or soldered to both tubes. Some copper pipe reducers may have a compression type, depending on the application. As well as steel forThe Iirub joints have two compression fittings with different sizes associated with the length of the stepped tubing. Reducing profile profile at a narrow location common to metal fittings is also common between binding couplings with PVC reduction. These fittings are usually connected to the two pipe ends using PVC adhesive to ensure a good seal.
The reduction bond can also be used to insert small -diameter -diameter equipment, such as valves, flow meters and ports of inspection or maintenance, into pipeline circuits with a large diameter. This type of reducing clutch is most commonly used at the ends of high -pressure petrochemical industrial pipes. Since few pipe circuits consist of one pipe size throughout, the reduction binding is a critical part of the layout of most installations.
