Reducers come in a wide variety of configurations depending on the industry, material, and connection method, but they are primarily classified into concentric and eccentric structural designs. Within those main categories, they are further distinguished by their manufacturing methods, including butt-weld reducers for high-pressure industrial piping, socket-weld reducers, threaded reducers for smaller threaded pipes, and fabricated sheet metal reducers commonly used in HVAC ductwork systems. Each type is engineered to meet specific pressure ratings, fluid dynamics criteria, and installation space constraints.
