thorities
The scope of this manual includes the determination of
the necessary construction details for the fabrication
and installation of rectangular metallic industrial duct
within the following general categories, and as further
detailed in the scope of individual chapters, through a
variety of both analytical and empirical methods:
Fabricated from flat sheet or plate panels, us-
ing welded seam, grooved lockseam, Pitts-
burgh lock, and standing seam techniques
From commercial grades of carbon, galva-
nized, aluminized, or stainless steel, or alu-
minum of the various grades and types as de-
scribed in Chapter 3
For a design pressure within the range from
negative 150 in wg to positive 150 in wg
To be supported at intervals not exceeding
30 ft
For a design temperature not exceeding the
specific operating limits listed for each type
and grade of metal included in Chapter 3
With panel widths (w) up to 12 ft
Listing of rated stiffeners, flanges, hanger
and support elements, and the methods for se-
lecting them for specific structural loads
An accepted industry practices for the fab-
rication and installation of rectangular metal-
lic industrial duct, with its fittings, appurte-
nances, accessories, insulation, lagging,
hangers and supports
PURPOSE
There were three primary purposes behind the devel-
opment of this manual:
To develop minimum standards for the fab-
rication and installation of metallic rectangu-
lar industrial duct systems
To develop new, and collect existing, duct
construction practices and data to serve as an
authoritative source of accepted industrial
practices for contractors, design engineers,
To provide an authoritative source of docu- mentation and terminology for operations in- volved in the construction and installation of rectangular metallic industrial duct
EDITION
The objectives behind the development of this second
edition of SMACNA’s Rectangular Industrial Duct
first edition; update the theoretical basis for design; improve the presentation to make the expanded publi- cation more “user friendly;” to cover both the simple, low or moderate temperature and pressure indoor sys- tems, as well as the more complex outdoor systems, operating at moderate to high temperature and pres- sure, and subjected to higher and more complex exter- nal loading
To achieve these objectives the following steps were taken:
al and localized shear capacity of the side walls
Laboratory testing and data analysis on rec- tangular duct were completed to support the addition of a side wall shear capacity check
to those already introduced in the first edi- tion
Material previously covered in broad terms was expanded through in-depth coverage New chapters were added covering such duct fabrication topics as Stiffeners, Flanges, and Fasteners; Hangers and Supports; Welding; Accepted Industrial Construction Practices; and a Guide Specification
To provide for the design process of duct sys- tems from the very simple to the complex, while making the process %er friendly,” the design or duct selection process was devel- oped as a Table Driven Process
INDUSTRIAL DUCT DESIGN
The approach, or avenue to rectangular industrial duct design is as described here:
Trang 21Table Driven Process - The selection data for rectan-
gular duct is divided into three chapters, each dealing
with a different material type: Carbon, Galvanized,
and Aluminized Steel (Chapter 6), Stainless Steel
(Chapter 7), and Aluminum (Chapter 8) Each chapter
has its own detailed example covering the main selec-
tion options Use of this design process is not limited
to indoor applications, but includes wind loads and
snowhce or maintenance loads, in addition to internal
particulate loads
As described in the above, it has been an objective of
the Rectangular Industrial Duct Construction Task
Force to make this publication more “user friendly”
than its predecessor
The following tips are intended to familiarize the user
with the content and organization of this manual They
are also intended to guide the user in selecting the right
chapter or sequence of chapters to consult depending
on the immediate objective
a Chapters 2 and 3 are especially important to
the specifying engineer or to a “designibuild”
contractor Chapter 2 contains basic informa-
tion necessary for identifying and speciQing
the duct class
b Chapter 3 deals entirely with detailed infor-
mation on the mechanical characteristics of
all the metals covered by these construction
standards; it also includes a corrosion table
covering various metals and liner materials
and their corrosion performance when sub-
jected to various corrosive agents Chapter 3
information is useful in either selecting and
speci@ing a duct material or in identifjing
the mechanical characteristics of specified
duct materials
c Chapters 4 and 5 are of interest to all users
There is useful information, examples, and
guidance in these two chapters that may be of
greatest benefit to speci@ing engineers, de-
signers, and contractors
d Chapters 6,7, and 8 constitute the bulk of the
material needed for duct selection
e Chapter 9, 10, and 11 all deal with construc-
tion details and accepted industry practices
for rectangular duct and appurtenances
These chapters are of interest to all users
The Appendices and Glossary contain ter- minology, design data, and other supplemen- tary information useful to both specifiers and contractors

fire protection, and drainage
This chapter contains various definitions and informa-
tion related to industrial duct classes as well as rele-
vant physical characteristics of materials frequently
conveyed in industrial duct systems It is envisioned
that the designer will use the information contained in
this chapter or similar information from other sources,
such as those listed in section 2.2, to specify the most
appropriate Duct Class for the system under consider-
ation, and the concentration and characteristics of the
materials being conveyed We can not over-emphasize
the importance that the specification of the Duct Class
and an accurate appraisal of the conveying character-
istics of the materials being conveyed have on the suc-
cessful design of an industrial duct system
DUCT
Industrial duct is a broad classification of duct work
used for many diverse applications Air pollution con-
trol systems, industrial exhaust systems, general plant
process ventilation, and systems outside the pressure
range of commercial system standards are classified as
industrial systems
Independent of the operating temperature and pres-
sure, industrial duct usually conveys air or gases con-
taminated with particulate or corrosive aerosols at ve-
locities in excess of 2000 fpm OSHA defines the
exhaust ventilation system as a system for removing
contaminated air from a space The general list of in-
dustrial contaminants includes dusts, fumes, mists, va-
pors, and gases
Some industrial applications may include ducts oper-
ating at pressures within the range typical of systems
covered by SMACNA's HVAC Duct Construction
Standards, Metal and Flexible, Second Edition, 1995,
(Addendum No i, 1997) that is i 10 in wg While
there may exist an overlap in operating pressures and
temperatures, closer inspection reveals marked differ-
ences between industrial and HVAC applications in
performance, maintenance, and structural require-
ments
Industrial duct is found in industries such as: automo-
tive, foundry, mining, petrochemical, pulp and paper,
semiconductors, and other manufacturing Industrial
ducts are also used in pneumatic conveying systems
These systems often require special structural consid-
erations due to the possibiliîy of erosion, corrosion,
and particulate accumulation loading They may also
Industrial duct used in food processing and in systems handling materials such as rubber and paper requires smooth internal surfaces to prevent accumulation or contamination; this requirement often dictates the joining methods, which may therefore be limited to welding
There are currently five classes of industrial duct The designer should carefully analyze his application and specify the duct classification that most closely de- scribes the intended use, to ensure proper construction While round duct is preferred in industrial ventilation, air pollution control and dust collection systems due to its efficient air flow and superior strength characteris- tics, there exist many circumstances where only the compact nature of rectangular ducts wil suffice While this manual deals with construction standards for rectangular industrial duct, it is not intended to be
a source of system design information For that pur- pose, some of the more widely used sources are:

DUCT SYSTEM CLASSIFICATION
There are five classifications of industrial duct sys- tems:
Class 1: Non-abrasive, non-corrosive applica-
tions, including contaminated duct sections of make-up air and general ventilation systems, and gaseous emission control systems

Class 2: Applications with light to moderately
abrasive particulate in light concentration: buff-
ing and polishing, woodworking, grain dust, etc
Class 3: Applications with highly abrasive par-
ticulate in low concentrations or moderately abra-
sive particulate in higher concentrations; such as
abrasive cleaning operations, dryers and kilns,
boiler breaching, sand handling, etc
Class 4: Applications with highly abrasive particu-
late in high concentrations; such as: high concentra-
tions of particulate ffom any of the examples listed
under Class 3 (used in heavy industrial plants, such
as: steel mills, foundries, mining, and smelting)
Class 5: Applications with corrosives, such as
acid vapors
The first four classifications were originally adopted
by the American Conference of Governmental Indus-
trial Hygienists and published in the Industrial Ven-
received wide acceptance throughout the industrial
ventilation industry Class 5 appeared in the Uniform
Mechanical Code in 1991

ACTERISTICS AND CLASSES
The successful design of an industrial duct system be-
gins with an accurate appraisal of the characteristics of
the matenal to be conveyed A few important charac-
teristics merit special consideration
The abrasiveness of the material being conveyed must
be determined in order to select the most appropriate
duct class
The concentration of the material is determined by the
customer’s exhausting and conveying requirements
and also affects Duct Class selection
The corrosiveness of the material is determined from
the customer’s material specifications or material safety data sheets
Consideration should also be given to the weight per cubic foot of the material, its dustiness, wetness, stick- iness, and temperature The data given in these tables
is for average conditions and materials Each charac- teristic may vary in specific instances
Assigning classes to a material quantifies its character- istics of particle size, flowability, and abrasiveness
among others Table 2-2 is an index of material charac- teristics, each is represented by a letter or number Combining these letters and numbers to form a Class Identification string, renders a concise description of the material Table 2-3 lists many common materials and their Class Identification, which serve as a conve- nient cross-reference to the actual material character- istics as listed in Table 2-2
The following example illustrates how these tables may be used A designer locates Salt (common dry,
coarse) in Table 2-3 It lists a densiîy that varies be- tween 45 and 50 lb/ft3 and its Class C37PL identifies the following characteristics: The first letter repre- sents Particle Size; referring to Table 2-2, the letter C corresponds to a particle size described as: “Granular
-% in mesh and under.” The second position on the Class Identification string represents Flowability and
is occupied by the number 3, which in Table 2-2 is de- scribed as “Sluggish - with an angle of repose of 45”
or greater.” The next position represents Abrasiveness and is occupied by the number 7 which in Table 2-2 is
described as: “Moderately Abrasive.” The balance of the Class description consists of one or more letters identifying other characteristics such as: P indicates Moderately Corrosive, and L represents Hygroscopic, which means that salt tends to absorb moisture from the environment and becomes wet Based on this type
of information, the concentration of the particulate to
be conveyed, and the definitions of Duct Class in Table 2-1, the designer can then specify the duct class that he deems most closely representative of the design ap- plication
In the case of materials not listed in Table 2-3 the user
is directed to other design sources, such as those listed
in section 2.2, which may have more extensive materi-
al lists In the absence of more definitive information from other sources, a rough appraisal may be made by comparison with other listed materials of the same general type

Trang 38CHAPTER 3 DUCT MATERIALS
This chapter contains detailed information on the
physical characteristics of the most common materials
used in industrial duct construction Also included are
brief descriptions of each material type, its most com-
mon uses, and some limitations that may apply It is en-
visioned that this chapter will be used as a reference by
contractors and duct designers following the design
procedures lì-om Chapter 4, and the examples in Chap-
ter 5 or using the design tables in Chapters 6 through
8
There is a wide range of materials available for indus-
trial duct construction Following are descriptions of
the most common materials covered by this manual
Hot-rolled (carbon) steel is the most common material
used in industrial duct construction It is often referred
to as IIRS It is understood that this refers to carbon
steel, it is also known as mild steel Many different
shapes and sizes of HRS structural members are avail-
able for duct reinforcement This material is extremely
versatile in its fabrication and uses It is easily shaped,
formed and joined, using every metal fabrication pro-
cess known to man Specifications for the various
types of hot-rolled steel include:
Hot-rolled steel sheet, ASTM A1011 in com-
mercial, structural, and high strength grades
Hot-rolled steel plate, ASTM A283 in low
and intermediate tensile strength, and ASTM
A572 in high sîrength grades
Hot-rolled structural steel shapes and plate,
ASTM A36
NOTES:
a Carbon steel is not recommended for applica-
tions where temperatures exceeding 650°F
are expected unless consideration (which is
beyond the intended scope of this document)
is given to this higher temperature in duct de-
sign
b Carbon steels are generally not recom-
mended for systems conveying corrosive
aerosols
Cold-rolled (carbon) steel is fi-equently used in the fab- rication of industrial duct systems We will often refer
to it as CRS ASTM A1008 is the standard specifica- tion for cold-rolled steel sheet in commercial, structur-
al, and high strength grades This material is easily fabricated and welded Cold-rolled steel is often se- lected where good to excellent paint finishing proper- ties are required
NOTES:

3.2.3
As noted in the previous section, the maxi-
mum recommended operating temperature for all carbon steels is 650°F
Carbon steels are generally not recom- mended for systems conveying corrosive aerosols
Galvanized Steel
Galvanized steel sheet is also used in the fabrication of industrial duct systems The specifications for galva- nized steel sheet are ASTM A924 and A653
Galvanized steel is typically not available be- yond 10 ga When necessary, carbon steel is hot-dipped galvanized prior to fabrication
Aluminized Steel
Aluminized steel is sheet carbon steel that has been hot-dip coated on both sides with an aluminum silicon alloy, thus meeting the requirements of ASTM A463lA463M It is intended principally for heat-re- sistant applications or where atmospheric type corro- sion (mild industrial, salt spray, or marine environ- ment) is present Since aluminized steel is currently only available in 11 gage and lighter, its use in industri-
al duct construction is, unfortunately, somewhat limit-
ed Structural considerations in duct construction re- quire that, as the design temperature increases, the duct thickness be increased to offset the reduction in material strength Therefore, with the limited thick- ness availability of aluminized steel, its use becomes
Trang 39dependant on designs that can be satisfied by 11 gage
or lighter metal
Aluminized steel is most often used as an alternative
to galvanized and carbon steels due to its better high
temperature and corrosion resistance characteristics
Except for its unavailability in heavier gages, it also
appears promising for use in higher temperature
(650°F to 1050°F) industrial duct applications filling
the gap between the less expensive materials (carbon
steel and galvanized steel), that lack the durability or
the necessary properties, and the more expensive
stainless steels that may deliver better properties than
are required
Stainless steel in sheet, plate, and a limited selection
of structural shapes is often used in industrial duct sys-
tems Stainless steel alloys, highly resistive to corro-
sion and high temperatures are available for use where
extreme conditions are anticipated (See cautionary
notes below and on Table 3-12)
The following material specifications for stainless
steel alloys are frequently used in the fabrication of in-
dustrial duct systems: ASTM A480lA480M Standard
Rolled Stainless and Heat-Resisting Steel Plate, Sheet
Heat-Resisting Chromium and Chromium-Nickel
Stainless Steel Plate, Sheet and Strip
Among the many alloy types included in the ASTM
standards referenced above, the following list repre-
sents those most commonly encountered in industrial
duct construction and for which design data is offered
in this manual:
Types 304 (commonly known as 18-8 stain-
less steel) and 304-L
Types 316,316-L, 310,321, and 347
Types 410 and 430
NOTES:
a The stainless steels mentioned above are gen-
erally the most common of their type How-
ever, there are other specialty stainless steels
corresponding to each one of those listed,
which have characteristics similar to the gen-
eral type, only more so Some examples are:
Type 3 17 is similar to Type 3 16, except it has
higher chromium for increased corrosion re-
sistance; Types 416 and 440 are similar to
Type 410, except that 416 has improved ma-
Always consult steel manufacturers to obtain their recommendation or to veri9 the selec- tion of the material best suited for challeng- ing applications Corrosive chemicals and high operating temperatures, alone or in vari- ous combinations, present an operating envi- ronment that merits approaching with cau- tion
Because the yield strength of stainless steel declines rapidly at temperatures in excess of 800°F and because other material selection considerations are also critical at high tem- peratures, duct designers are cautioned about the potentially severe risks that may be en- countered in designing ducts for operation at high temperature SMACNA has established graduated temperature limits for the most common stainless steels and corresponding levels of caution in approaching such high
temperature duct design, see Table 3-12
