Double Socket Reducer

Description

The Double Socket Reducer is a crucial pipeline fitting used to transition a pipeline from one nominal diameter to a smaller or larger one. Designed with socket-end (push-fit) connections, this fitting allows for rapid and reliable integration into existing pipe networks. It is an essential component for system optimization, enabling engineers to adapt flow rates and pressure requirements across various sections of a plant or water distribution system.

Technical Specifications

• Design Type: Double Socket Reducer (Concentric design)

• Pressure Rating: PN10 / PN16

• Body Material: High-strength Ductile Iron (GGG40/50)

• Connection: Socket ends (Push-fit for ease of installation)

• Sealing: High-grade EPDM/NBR rubber gaskets for a bubble-tight, permanent seal

• Coating: Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) interior/exterior for long-term corrosion resistance

• Standards: Compatible with standard pipe ODs used in municipal and industrial utility networks

Key Applications

• Flow Management: Transitions piping to match required flow velocities in industrial cooling loops.

• Network Expansion: Facilitates the connection of new, smaller branch lines to existing primary mains.

• Infrastructure Maintenance: Essential for site teams in Mesaieed and Ras Laffan to adjust system sizing during plant upgrades.

• Water & Wastewater: Reliable diameter reduction for transmission mains and sewage collection systems.
