that sequence from the pump suction flange upstreamit will be mandatory for the eccentric reducer flat side
to be at the bottom. That said, Fig. 2 should clarify what reliability -focused users need to implement.

Great article ... I hav e argued this point with engineers who INSIST that a reducer shall be placed flat side up,
regardless of the source of the pumpage.
Consider this article BOOKMARKED!
I know I'll be pulling it out for reference.

Can we use eccentric reducer instead of concentric reducer if we do what will be the effect; is there any
disadv antage?... Coz one of the fitter had used eccentric instead of concentric in PSV connection. Upper side
Big Dia Lower side Small Dia
Please suggest

we hav e 8 nos high pressure pump (capacity 1 56m3/hr,max .pressure 1 5kg/cm2) with a single suction
header.
So, ev ery month one of them pump shaft is being damaged.
I want solution.

Dear,
what benefits of eccentric reducer with 1 ",2" pipe at suction of C F pump? also which ty pe of material serv ice &
parameter required in pump (V iscocity ,spe.grav ity ) are more suitable for eccentric reducer?

is there any possibility that concentric reducers be used on horizontal line piping?
