What is Reducer & Increaser Effect On Pressure?

lesson #3

In Piping Fittings there is no such thing as an "increaser".

A Reducer is used to change a pipe line from a larger size to a smaller size and to change a smaller size to a larger size.

But, but, will the fluid know it can flow the wrong way through a reducer????

Won't it be confused, incoherent, or downright insane?

The pressure upstream of a reducer will be somewhat greater than downstream.
The flow upstream and downstream will be the same.
The velocity will be inversely proportional to the areas of the upstream and downstream pipes.

hello dear brother. reducer is used to increase volocity of medium you have air / fluid you got effect on suction preasure also by avioding bends in pipe.

Google the "venturi effect"

I repeat!

A "Reducer" is used to change a pipe line from a larger size to a smaller size or to change a smaller size to a larger size.

It is just that simple, don't try to make it complicated.
