Reducing Union enables tubing of different sizes to be connected, great for transition points in piping systems. A 316 Stainless Steel Reducing Union is a type of tube fitting that connects two tubes of different sizes together. It has a nut and a ferrule on each end that compresses against the tube when tightened to create a leak-tight seal.
Tube end Sizes are available from imperial units to metric system.
Some of the applications where 316 Stainless Steel Tube Fittings are widely used include:
1. Chemical processing: 316 Stainless Steel Twin-ferrule Tube Fittings are often used in chemical processing plants for the transfer of corrosive chemicals, acids, and solvents.
2. Oil and gas: 316 Stainless Steel Tube Fittings are widely used in the oil and gas industry for pipelines, refineries, and offshore drilling platforms due to their resistance to corrosion.
