Reducer. (n.d.). Retrieved June 26, 2016, from http://www.pipingstudy.com/reducer.html The concentric reducer is cone-shaped, and is used when there is a shift in diameter between pipes. For example, when a 1" pipe transitions into a 3/4" pipe and the top or bottom of the pipe doesn't need to remain level.Shumaker, T. M. (2004). Process Pie Drafting (4th ed.). The Goodheart-Willcox Company. This pipe reducer may be used when there is a single diameter change or multiple diameter changes.
Unlike eccentric reducers, concentric reducers have a common center line. Concentric reducers are useful when cavitation
Cavitation is a phenomenon in which the static pressure of a liquid reduces to below the liquid's vapour pressure, leading to the formation of small vapor-filled cavities in the liquid. When subjected to higher pressure, these cavities, cal ...

Eccentricity occurs when the centerline is offset.
