Re: Pipe Fittings

Hie Friends

This is Balakrishnan, i am a new member for this group and now i working as a Material Engineer in Abu Dhabi, UAE, i really happy to join this group so please add me as a friend in your list.

And reg Mr. Mustafa clarification
Eccentric reducers for Pump suction to avoid Cavitation, to maintain elevation (BOP) in rack.

Concentric reducers for Pump discharge, vertical pipeline. Air pockets may form if concentric reducer is used at pump suction, which results in Cavitation, and cause damage to Pump. To avoid this problem, Eccentric Reducer with
Flat Side up (FSU) is used in Pump Suction

i hope my knowledge of Concentric and Eccentric reducers may be useful for you

Best Of regards
