The ASTM A182 F316/L Concentric Reducer is a pipe fitting used to connect pipes of different diameters while maintaining the central axis of the flow. Made from F316/L stainless steel, this reducer is ideal for applications that require high resistance to corrosion and excellent performance at elevated temperatures. The “L” designation in F316/L indicates a lower carbon content, which enhances weldability and reduces the risk of sensitization during welding. This makes the Concentric Reducer suitable for industries such as chemical processing, petrochemical, and marine applications. The concentric design ensures smooth transition between different pipe sizes, minimizing turbulence and pressure loss while facilitating efficient flow management.
