Unsaid Facts About

ROLED ON - TDC / TDF FLANGES.

CORNER IS GRIPPED BY
THE EDGE ONLY.

CRITICAL ISSUES STILL REMAIN UNNOTICED:

A. SINGLE WALLED CONSTRUCTION:
• Poor strength to weight ratio.
• Thicker gasket Is required between the flanges.
• Tends to deform during transportation.
• No assurance of flange perpendicularity to duct section.
• DURING FLANGE FORMING -- IT CARRIES
SCRATCHES .... FOR LONGER DURATION .it
CAN get RUSTED.
• Tends to twist and misalign when hanged.

B. CONSTRUCTION DETAILS:

46MM MATERIAL IS CONSUMED IN FLANGE ON EACH

SIDE, MEANS 92MM IN EACH DUCT PART

• Standard duct length reduces by 92mm.

• Increased no. of joints,

• Increases scope for Air Leakages.

• Increased consumption of accessories in-turns

high cost.
• GASKET WIDTH SHOULD BE OVER 15-18mm so as
it can GET PRESSED BY THE LEAF OF CLIP

C. AND WHAT ABOUT?????

Suit to site parts. (offsets / tapers/ Ahu connection

parts.)

a) How to make TDF/ TDC flange at site.

b) How to fix corner at site.

ADDITIONAL REINFORCEMENT REQUIREMENT:
• Tedious site activities.
• Restriction in airflow.
• Hindrance in automatic duct
cleaning.
• Not suitable for clean room
application.

TO MANAGE SUCH CONDITIONS

…GASKET WIDTH SHOULD BE
OVER 15mm so as it can GET
PRESSED BY THE LEAF OF CLIP

DEFORMS UNDER PRESSURE

AND LEADS TO AIR LEAKAGE

Summary:
If concluded in
short, EITHER
If not fabricated as per Specifications of Standard, the Duct profile is
Weak & Poor in Quality.
OR
If Specifications are met, it is obviously a costly product.
OR
USE SLIP-ON FLANGES FOR SITE to SUIT DUCTS--
