A Duplex 2205 reducer is a fitting that joins two pipes of different sizes, made from Duplex 2205 to ASTM A815 WPS31803 / WPS32205. Concentric reducers keep the centreline in line and suit vertical lines. Eccentric reducers keep one side flat — flat on top at pump suctions to avoid air pockets, flat on the bottom in pipe racks.

Duplex 2205 Reducer — questions buyers ask
Why use an eccentric reducer at a pump suction?
Installed flat side up, it prevents air pockets that can cause cavitation.
Which standard covers Duplex 2205 reducers?
The material is ASTM A815 WPS31803 / WPS32205; dimensions follow ASME B16.9 · MSS SP-43. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a Duplex 2205 reducer?
The alloy price, the size and schedule or class, quantity, and the testing and documents required. Send your list and we quote the same working day.
Can you supply Duplex 2205 reducers to NACE MR0175?
Yes. Duplex 2205 is listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits; state NACE compliance on the order and it is confirmed on the certificate.
What documents do you supply?
EN 10204 3.1 mill certificates as standard, 3.2 with third-party inspection on request, plus dimensional and PMI reports.
