    Round and Rectangular Duct Structural Design

    Uploaded by

    kiran
    Round and rectangular duct designs are based on buckling and stress factors. Round ducts require stiffeners every 3 diameters or 20 feet and support rings for diameters over 6 feet 6 inches. Round duct elbow stresses are calculated using a K factor equation that considers thickness, radius, and diameter. Rectangular duct design is based on width to thickness ratios, normally width equals thickness divided by 16.

    Round and rectangular duct structural design

    The structural design of ductwork plate is based on buckling of the plate element. Round
    ductwork plate design is based on diameter to duct plate thickness ratios, and the allowable
    stresses are contained in multiple references such as US Steel Plate, ASME/ANSI STS-
    1,SMNACA, Tubular Steel Structures, and other references. In actuality round ductwork bent in
    bending is approximately 30% stronger than a similar shape in compression, however one uses
    the same allowable stresses in bending as we do for compression.
    Round ducts require typical stiffeners at roughly 3 diameter spacing, or roughly 20 ft. O.C. for
    wind ovaling and fabrication and truck shipping requirements. Round ducts, larger than 6 feet
    6 inches (1.98 m) in diameter (1/4" plate) require support ring stiffeners. Smaller-diameter ducts
    may not require support ring stiffeners, but may be designed with saddle supports. When
    stiffener rings are required they are traditionally designed based on "Roark", although this
    reference is quite conservative.
    Round duct elbow allowable stresses are lower than the allowable stresses for straight duct by a
    K factor = 1.65/(h 2/3power) where h = t (duct) * R (elbow) /(r(duct)*r (duct). This equation, or
    similar equations is found in Tubular Steel Structures section 9.9.
    Rectangular ductwork design properties is based on width-to-thickness ratios. This is simplified,
    normally to width=t/16, from corner elements or corner angle stiffeners, although in reality, the
    entire duct top & side plate does participate, somewhat in duct section properties.

    Duct logic
    Duct logic is the process of planning for duct thermal movement, combined with planning to
    minimize duct dust dropout.
    Ducts move with changes in internal temperature. Ducts are assumed to have the same
    temperature as their internal gasses, which may be up to 900 °F. If the internal duct temperature
    exceeds 1000 °F, refractory lining is used to minimize the duct surface temperature. At 1000 °F,
    ducts may grow approximately 5/8 inch per 10 feet of length. This movement must be carefully
    planned for, with cloth (or metal) expansion joints at each equipment flange, and one joint per
    each straight section of ductwork.
    Sloping ductwork at or above the duct dust angle of repose will minimize dust buildup. Therefore,
    many ducts carrying high dust loads slope at 30 degrees, or steeper.
