NOTES Joints and intermediate reinforcements are labor intensive units and they may be more ‘costly than the savings ina reduction in metal ‘in duct wall thickness. Use of a thicker duct wal ora stronger joint over a wider range of duct sizes than those required can be cost effective. Examples include using a 22 gage duct wall where 22 ga. and 24 ga. are minimums and using aD ‘grade ofjoint over arange of sizes that would permit A, B, C, and D selections. However, substituting a lager-than-minimum element in one primary variable does not justify reducing another primary variable, ‘Some joint classifications have flanges or portions of the duct incorporated in the ratings; others do not. A thorough study is advised, Flat joint systems can qualify when backed up with reinforcements. Sealing expense and effectiveness may make this alternative more attractive than other joint options.

Goodman’ and George Hollands** The purpose of these data sheets is to acquaint the air conditioning engineer with means for shielding ductwork and other openings that penetrate protective barriers around radiation facilities, particularly X-ray rooms. Protection against radiation from X-ray tube, cyclotron, radium, or other radioactive material is primarily a question of shielding to reduce the level of radiation to asafe or specified amount, of maintaining safe distances from the rays, and/or of lintiting the time of exposure ‘The prime consideration in preventing penetration of raysis is density ofthe shielding material. Lead is the densest of any commonly available. Where space is at premium, particularly in moder buildings, and where utmost radiation protection is demanded, lead is invariably used. Leadis useful, especially wheré neutron and gamma rays are concerend, in that it does not itself become contaminated and emit harmful rays. Lead, usually in sheet form, is used to line the walls, floor, and often the ceiling of rooms containing radiation faci 3. Openings through the barrier forairductwork, piping, service boxes, conduit, ete, require shielding, usually obtainedby lead barier around rbehindthese building utilites of sufficient coverage and thickness to prevent penetration of these rays. ‘Shielding of duct and other openings in the protective barriers of radiation facilities depends on energy of radiation, orientation of the beam, dimensions, and location of opening inthe protective barrier, geometrical relationship between the radiation source and opening, and geometrical relationship between opéning and pperons, materials, or instruments to be protected. The ‘complexity of these factors requires the services of a radiological physicist, who determines extent of shielding, materials for shielding (usually lead or concrete) and the thickness of the shielding material “Mr. Goodman, formerly with Meyer, trong and Jones now has his ‘own consulting practice in New York Ciy. Hie has a masters degree in mechanical engineering rom the University of Wisconsin, where Ihespecaizedinheatransfer andi alicened professional engineer ‘tM Hollands is chet engineer, in charge of design of radiation shielding materials and equipment, for Bar-Ray Products, Inc Brooklyn, NY. Heisamember of ASTM, Society foeNondesuctive Testing, Accoustieal Soren of America, and American Insite of| Physic. ‘After theradiological physicist has done the basic design for this shielding, the protective barrier contractor provides the required shielding for the opening, Role of Engineer Design of ductwork, piping, etc.,should anticipatesome of the problems encountered both in the design and instalation of shielding, Also, coordination betweenair conditioning contractor and shielding fabricatorcanbest bbe achieved by understanding and forethought on the part of the air conditioning designer. Figures | to 4 give some idea of the area of shielding required around ductwork. They show various duct installations which penetrate the protective barrier for walls or partitions of X-ray rooms. Lead shielding is used to cover these openings, theapproximate extentof which is indicated in terms of simple equations in involving the opening dimensions and wall thickness. ‘These are conservative estimates, which will aid the ait conditioning designer to understand what whatto expect as to the area of shielding ductwork. The radiological physicist actually determines for each case the lead thickness and the exact amount of shielding req ‘Note in Figure that the protective shielding deals with primary radiation, while Figures | to 3 show protection against scattered or secondary radiation. Primary radiation comes directly from the source; scattered radiation has been deviated in direction; and secondary radiation is emitted by an irradiated material. Primary radiation requires more protection because its energy level is higher. Fabrication and Installation ‘Sheet ead snot structurally self-supporting, so mustbe ‘mounted to prevent sagging by its own weight. Foclead thicknessupto3.5 mm, sheetlead canbe readily shaped around round and small rectangular ducts, say 2 ‘maximum diameter or width, wthallointsovertapring atleast 1/2". Tohold these lead sheets in pace, I" wide iron bands shouldbe placed around the periphery ofthe ducton approximately 12" centers, care being taken ot tocut into the lead when the bands are bolted up ‘When lead thickness is greater than 3.5 mm or duct or duct width exceeds 24", lead shielding should be laminated on aplywood or simitar structural core, which is made in sections or panels to conform to the sides of the duct. The laminated sections are mechanicelly fastenedatthe seamsandcomers, These joinisare lapped with sheet lead angles or lead strips, the width of which is twice the thickness of the lead, but not less than ‘/2 Ce HVAC Duct Construction Standards Metal and Flexible - Second Edition A37inch in any case. Nails, bolts, screws, or other fasteners, used to secure the lead sheet or panel must be covered with lead of thickness equal to the lead sheet. Lead headed nails may be used as shown in Figure 5. For lead shielding of 1.0 mm or less, flexible leaded vinyl sheets can be used for easy forming to complex shapes and contours. The flexible leader vinyl sheets ccan be applied in layers where heavier than 1.0 mm lead shielding is required. If the duct has a flexible vinyl sheets could be applied over it more readily than other forms of shielding. Ducthangersare best installed on the outside ofthe lead shielding so thatthe hanger rods o straps do not have to pierce the shielding. The leadshieldingadds considerably to the weight of the duct and the hangers should be substanial, with suchadequate anchoring intheslababove as fish plates. For rectangular ducts, trapeze hangers would be the most practical. For design purposes, estimate each 1/16” of lead at 4Ib. per sa. f. Tests for radiation leakage are usually made after the roomis finished and theequipmentis installed, Itis very important 1 instal shielding property during the course of consstruction because of the expense in making corrections tothe finished protective barier. Moreover, ‘equipment such as dampers should never be put in the shielded section of the ductwork, as repairs to this equipment would be very costly ifthe shielding must be dismantied. A simple way to avoid penetration of the protective bartierslead lining by pipes or wires to offset them as ‘close behind the lead lining as possible so that they can be backed with a lead sheet of sufficient size to prevent passage of theraysatany angle. This ead patch method isalso used forelectric switch boxes located in the wall. Medical Installation The extent of the protective barrier for medical running trough such spaces are likely to bea problem, For medical radiographic and fluoroscopic rooms the lead shielding generally does notextend abovealine 7, ‘0°. from the finished floor; and if the service lines and ducts can be located above this lin, shielding around them sobviously unnessary. For X-ray therapy rooms, lead shielding may extend to the ceiling or structural slab. Theceiling orstab above andthe floor may also be lead lined, depending upon output of the machine and ‘ther conditions. For industrial X-ray work, wall shielding may extend tothe ceiling. Both ceiling and floor in some cases will require lead lining. For shielding in supervoltage rooms, special conditions mayapply. Inany event, the radiological physicistshould bbe consulted to design the proper protection. Where i red for the shielding material, it is ‘often more practical to use lead of equivalent value for the shielding of openings. Where recesses occur in concrete barriers forequipment, lead backing, equivalent to the thickness of the concrete removed, should be provided.
