For example, if your main pipe or big head is DN250, and the small head or reducer is DN200, it is a first-level reduction; the small head or reducer is DN150, which is a second-level reduction.
To put it simply, the one size smaller than the main pipe is the first-level reduction, and the two sizes smaller is the second-level reduction.
Of course, it must correspond to the size chart. DN50 is two levels smaller than DN80. Isn’t it DN65 in the middle?
