The parts of duct elements are assembled by using

mechanical corner folds or Pittsburgh folds. In case of
large cross-sections, or with straight elements, if
transport takes place in sheets, standing folds are used
as well. The standing folds are always situated on the
inner surface of the sectional pieces. Straight elements
transported in sheets enable an economical transport Mechanical corner fold Pittsburgh fold Standing fold

requirements of air duct elements strongly depend on
the maximum pressure difference and air velocity
arising in the course of operation, and on their
fluctuation, respectively. Unlike the Hungarian
standards, the air duct system type VL is
manufactured according to the pressure grades as per
the standards DIN 24190 (Fig. 3), to the tightness
classes as per standards DIN 24194 (Fig. 4) and to the
assigned material thickness (Fig. 5) being closer to Leackage factor [(l/s)/m2]

The Fig. 1.10-7 provides the required quantity of the Flange of square duct

The heat resistance of duct elements type VL are
mainly determined by the sealing materials used in
manufacturing and installing. Unless specially
specified, we manufacture according to the pressure
grades 1 and 4, as well as to the tightness class I, where punching
we do not use any sealing material in the course of
manufacturing the duct elements, thus heat resistance
is determined by the materials used when installing.
The heat resistance of the “Terostat” tape is 60 °C. The
silicon rubber and the sealing silicon mass (Siloplast-
transparent) are resistant to heat up to 200 °C. Solder
seam can be used up to 120 °C. The Fig. 1.10-10
summarises the techniques and materials adopted by
us in case of the individual tightness classes, as well as
the material and design recommended by us for the
purpose of providing sealing between the flanges. spot welding

The Fig. 1.10-11 contains the substantial sizes of the

flanges marked by letter L of the duct elements type VL-12
VL and those of the flanges of other PANOL-PLUSZ-
makes as per our in-house standards. The spacing n×t
is positioned symmetrically. The sizes of the flanges
depend on the specified pressure grade. In any non-
specified case, we use flange marked with letter M and
of grade I., respectively.
We undertake to manufacture special flanges or
flanges to be fitted to the makes of other companies
