Eccentric Cone

An eccentric cone in sheet metal work is a truncated cone where the apex is not centered over the base. This design allows for an offset transition between different diameters of pipes or ducts, facilitating smooth flow in systems where alignment is crucial. Eccentric cones are widely used in HVAC, ventilation, and fluid handling systems to connect pipes of varying diameters while maintaining efficient flow and minimizing turbulence. They are fabricated from sheet metal by cutting a flat pattern, which is then rolled and welded into the conical shape. Precision in cutting and forming is essential to ensure a proper fit and seamless operation. The eccentric design helps in applications where space constraints or specific directional flow is required, offering versatility and efficiency in engineering solutions.
