A Reducing Ring Spacer is a precision-machined thermoplastic flange spacer designed to transition between two different pipe sizes while maintaining a full open bore. This configuration allows for diameter reduction without disrupting flow or altering flange alignment, making it ideal for lined-pipe systems requiring smooth transitions.
Overview
SG-P manufactures Reducing Ring Spacers to exact lined-pipe flange specifications, ensuring dimensional accuracy, chemical resistance, and long-term reliability in corrosive and non-metallic piping environments.
What Is a Reducing Ring Spacer Used For?
Reducing Ring Spacers are used when piping systems require a change in internal diameter while preserving uninterrupted flow and proper flange spacing. They provide a clean, non-metallic transition solution without the need for additional reducers or fittings.
Typical uses include:
- Transitioning between different pipe diameters
- Maintaining full flow through the piping system
- System retrofits and piping modifications
- Correcting size mismatches between connected lines
- Lined-pipe installations requiring corrosion resistance
Applications and Industries
- Chemical & Petrochemical Processing: diameter transitions in corrosive process lines
- Water & Wastewater Treatment: system upgrades and piping adjustments
- Power Generation & Utilities: retrofit and maintenance modifications
- Pharmaceutical & Bioprocessing: sanitary piping transitions
- Marine & Offshore Systems: corrosion-resistant diameter reductions
Thermoplastic Material Options
- Polypropylene (PP): Lightweight, cost-effective, and chemically resistant
- PTFE (Teflon®): Exceptional resistance to aggressive chemicals and high temperatures
- PVDF (Kynar®): Flame-resistant, UV-stable, and suitable for harsh environments
All spacers are manufactured to lined-pipe flange dimensions and available in standard and custom size combinations.
