Weld reduction eccentric
Component Number:
1006
Applicable Systems:
The Bonded TwinPipe
Description
An eccentric weld reduction can be welded between the 2 dimensions.
Eccentric weld reduction complies with EN 10253-2.
Application
When reducing on a TwinPipe by means of a reduction joint and an eccentric reduction, the distance between flow and return may differ between the two pipe ends to be welded together with the reduction.
If this is the case, the distance between the pipe ends is adjusted on site to ensure that a circumferential weld complying with the quality requirements can be made. When adjusting the distance between the pipe ends, a possible miter between the pipe ends and the reduction must not exceed 2°.
It is the responsibility of the steel welder to ensure that the conditions for a satisfactory weld quality are present, and that the steel pipe is not damaged.
In connection with a reduction on the steel service pipe the design instructions must be complied with.
Fixing bars shall be welded onto both sides of the steel pipe at the free end on the big dimension.
