The ASTM F304L Eccentric Reducer is a pipe fitting designed to connect pipes of different diameters while maintaining an offset centerline, which helps to prevent air accumulation in horizontal piping systems. Made from F304L stainless steel, this reducer provides excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion due to its low carbon content, making it suitable for applications involving welding. It is widely used in industries such as chemical processing, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals, where smooth flow transitions and durability are essential. The eccentric design ensures efficient drainage and reduces turbulence and pressure drops in fluid systems.
