Duct Seals – 1
• Purpose of sealing
• Location of seal:
�All joints
�Transverse seams
�Longitudinal seams
�Connections
• Sealing Requirements: See Table 1-2
Prof. Moustafa M. Elsayed (consultant)13
Duct Seals – 2: Seal Classes
Prof. Moustafa M. Elsayed (consultant)14
Duct Seals – 3: Methods of Sealing
• Welding
�Gaskets: this is used in flanged joints
�Mastics (adhesives): this used in grooves
or between flanges
�Mastics-plus-embedded-fabrics systems
(this is the preferable flexible sealant)
• Tapes
• Liquid sealant

Sealing
Prof. Moustafa M. Elsayed (consultant)16
Duct Seals – 5: Leakage Test
• Leakage test is an added cost and thus is not
recommended for duct systems constructed to 3”
w.g. or lower.
• Apparent differences of about 10% between fan
delivery and sum of airflow measurements at
terminals do not necessarily mean poor sealing
and excessive leakage
Prof. Moustafa M. Elsayed (consultant)17
Controlling Costs -1
• Use minimum number of fittings
• Consider the use of semi-extended plenums
• Seal duct work to minimize leakage
• Consider using round duct where space and
initial duct cost allows
• When using rectangular duct, maintain
aspect ratio as close to1:1 as possible to
minimize both initial and friction losses.

Liner Problem
• Erosion and presence of glass fibers in the air stream and in the room ambient environment. Some people have expressed the concern that inspired glass fibers from glass fiber duct lining could cause cancer.
Prof. Moustafa M. Elsayed (consultant)25
Liner Problem• Since 1966, many studies have been performed
that show no significant erosion of glass fibers from the surface of duct board or duct liner. The UL tests showed no evidence of erosion on the samples tested
• The 1995 ASHRAE Handbook--Applications and the 1997 ASHRAE Handbook--Fundamentals state that there is no clear evidence that any man-made mineral fiber is carcinogenic. An extensive study presented to the World Health Organization in 1988 stated that "fibers were not a cause of adverse health effects in building occupants..."
Prof. Moustafa M. Elsayed (consultant)26
Duct Liner & Duct Insulation - 1
• Duct insulation is mounted or inner-lined to
reduce heat loss and heat gain as well as
to prevent the condensation on the outer
surface of the duct.
• Duct liner provides both thermal
insulation and sound attenuation.
• The thickness of an insulation layer is
based on economical analysis
Prof. Moustafa M. Elsayed (consultant)27
Duct Insulation Choices
• External duct wrap or mechanical board
insulation
• Internal duct liner insulation
• Fiber glass duct board systems in place
of rectangular metal ducts
• Flexible round air ducts
Prof. Moustafa M. Elsayed (consultant)28
Duct Insulation Choices
External duct wrap or mechanical board
insulation
• They serve as a vapor retarder and thermal
insulation
• High-density mechanical boards will also
provide a slight reduction of break-out and
vibration-related noise from the metal air
ducts
Prof. Moustafa M. Elsayed (consultant)29
Duct Insulation Choices
Internal duct liner insulation
• Duct lining materials are applied to the interior
duct surfaces
• Duct liner serve as a very effective passive noise
reduction system
• Internal duct insulations offer the thermal benefits
of exterior duct insulations
• Duct liner is available in medium-density flexible
form, and as a higher density rigid form
Prof. Moustafa M. Elsayed (consultant)30
Duct Insulation Choices
Fiber glass duct board systems
• Rigid, high-density fiber glass board ducts (replacement for sealed, insulated metal air duct)
• Duct board combines structural integrity and thermal/acoustical insulation
• No vibration or regenerated noise
• Possible health hazard
• Possible short life
Prof. Moustafa M. Elsayed (consultant)31
Duct Insulation Choices
Flexible round air ducts
• Available in a wide variety of diameters and
lengths,
• Flex duct provides good thermal performance,
and incorporates an internal air barrier and
external vapor retarder jacket.
• Acoustical absorption varies by flex product;
typical values (measured by Noise Reduction
Coefficient, or NRC) are only 20 to 30% of
values demonstrated by duct liner or fiber glass
duct systems.
Prof. Moustafa M. Elsayed (consultant)32
Duct Material
• Galvanized
• Fiber Glass

Rectangular Duct Construction: Procedure
• Determine pressure class
• Use Table 1-3 to 1-9 for reinforcement schedule
• The greater duct dimension determines the gage for all sides.
• Reinforcement may be different on sides with unequal dimension.
• Joint connection without reinforcement: Column 2 with minimum gage, use flat type joint connection
Prof. Moustafa M. Elsayed (consultant)36
Rectangular Duct Construction: Procedure
• Joint with reinforcement: Columns 3 to 10, use required reinforcement interval to get the minimum gage and the letter code for the type of joint.
• Type of Intermediate Reinforcement; see Table 1-10
• Type of Transverse Joint Reinforcement; see Tables 1-11 to 1-13
Prof. Moustafa M. Elsayed (consultant)37
Rectangular Duct Construction
General Notes• Beading and cross breaking are not substitute
for reinforcement
• Type of reinforcement:
�Transverse Joint Reinforcement
�Intermediate Reinforcement
• Fittings shall be reinforced like sections of
straight duct. On size change fittings, the
greater fitting dimension determines the duct
gage.
Prof. Moustafa M. Elsayed (consultant)38
Rectangular Duct Construction
General Notes• Duct sides that are:
�19” and over with more than 10 square feet of unbraced panel area, or
�20 gage or less with more than 10 square feet of unbraced panel area
shall be cross-broken or beaded as indicated in Figure 1.8. This will not be required if duct is lined or externally insulated.
• Duct wall thickness, joints, seams and reinforcement must be coordinated to provide
proper assembly.

Example
• Given: 1” wg duct with dimension 18” ×11”
• Determine: SMACNA construction recommendation for this duct
Recommendations
• Use Table 1-4
• Use Table 1-11 for type B reinforcement
• Use Table 1-10 for intermediate reinforcement
Prof. Moustafa M. Elsayed (consultant)46
Example: continuedUse Table 1-4
At 18” use 22ga without reinforcement
Or 26 ga with type B reinforcement at 8’
interval
At 12”, use 26ga without
reinforcement
