Technical Specification of Duct
11.01 General
Brief description of Ducting Network is given below under clause No. 11.02. The
point wise list of data to be furnished by the tenderer along with the offer is
mentioned below under clause No. 11.03
The ducting network comprises of ducting work, duct line dampers, down comer &
supply air diffuser with volume control damper, supply air grill / adjustable louver
grill duct supporting arrangement, flexible connections etc.
All GI / Aluminium ducting work for airflow shall conform to latest edition of IS: 655.
Galvanised steel sheet conform to latest edition of IS:277. Ventilation duct may be
fabricated from steel sheet conforming to IS: 2062 - 2006. These items are briefly
described below:-
a. Ducting work
Ducting work consists of main duct, branch ducts, bends, reducers, joints, access
doors etc. Duct work shall be complete with flanges, gaskets, stiffeners, fasteners
(nuts, bolts & washers), hangers, etc. as required. Minor modification of ducting
network may be required to suit site condition. GI Ducts shall be fabricated at site
to match with site condition. Alternatively, ventilation duct work may be fabricated
with MS sheet.
GI Ducting shall be provided with joints at 2.5 – 3.0 m interval conforming to latest
edition of IS: 655 as and where required. In case of flanged joints, the flanges shall
be of angle iron type riveted with GI sheet on duct perimeter. Flange joints should
be made air tight with use of felt gaskets.
Duct supports shall be provided to keep the ducting in position in aligned condition.
For proper distribution of air in the premises, supply air grills (adjustable louver
grills) with volume control dampers shall be provided in the ducting work for
ventilation system and supply air diffusers with volume control dampers shall be
provided in the ducting work for air conditioning system.
Sizing of the duct shall be done for pressure balancing as well as to maintain the
air velocities in the ducting work as given below: -
Joints
In line with IS 655 guide lines the type of transverse joints shall be followed unless
otherwise specified.
Sealing
All construction joints and duct seams shall be reasonably sealed with bitumastic
cold emulsion or equivalent vapour seal.
Bends
The interior of all ducts shall be smooth for free flow of air. The radius to bend shall
be not less than 1.5 D. Turning guide vane shall be provided in all large duct bends
and bends with radius less than 1.5 D for proper air flow.
Access door / panel
All main ductwork shall be accessible throughout using tight fitted hinged access
doors, provided with sponge rubber gaskets. Angle joints shall be provided with felt
or rubber gaskets for leak-tightness of the joints.
Any other place if envisaged by the owner about its essentiality during drawing
approval or construction period.
In case access doors are to be installed in the insulated ducts, the access door
panel should be insulated too with overlapping, such that it can be operated without
damaging the duct insulation and there should be no condensation either on the
access doors or on the duct when the plant is in running condition.
