Eccentric Reducer by Service
Eccentric Reducer by Service
(OP)
Good morning,
In doing my research, I have seen that although the preferred orientation of eccentric reducers is FOT for pump suction piping, in applications that handle slurry service, the preferred orientation is FOB to avoid slug flow. Steam service was another that I saw with preferred orientation FOB.
My question is, are there any other applications or services where the eccentric reducer would be preferred with FOB in pump or compressor suction piping?
Thanks,

To a ChE, the glass is always full - 1/2 air and 1/2 water.

Latexman, Good response.
My contribution is very simple:
- FOT ECC Reducer:
Any Liquid Services subject to Vaporization (Hydrocarbons, Cooling Water, etc)
- FOB ECC Reducer:
Any Vapor Services subject to Condensing (Steam, LNG, etc)
Any Slurry services
Sometimes its possible to do all the right things and still get bad results
