The ASTM A182 F316/L Eccentric Reducer is a pipe fitting used to connect pipes of different diameters while maintaining the axis alignment of the larger diameter pipe. Made from F316/L stainless steel, it is ideal for high-corrosion environments and elevated temperatures. The “L” in F316/L denotes a lower carbon content, which enhances weldability and reduces the risk of sensitization during welding. This fitting is particularly useful in applications where vertical alignment is important, such as in gravity-fed systems. The eccentric design helps in managing flow dynamics by preventing air pockets and reducing turbulence, making it suitable for industries like chemical processing, petrochemical, and marine applications.
