FOREWORD
Institution on 25 March 1963, after the draft finalized by the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Sectional Committee had been approved by the Building Division Council.
0.2 This standard was first issued in 1955 and has been generally adopted by the industry in the country. Whilklissuing this revision the Sectional Committee responsible for the preparation of this specification has not felt the need for making any major modifications except to specify the values in metric system in place of fps values given in the This changeover to metric system has led to original specification. rationalization of the dimensions to a certain extent. 0.3 The Sectional Committee responsible for the preparation of this standard has taken into consideration the views of producers, consumers and technologists, and has related the standard to the manufacturing and trade practices followed in the country in this field. Due weightage has also been given to the need for international co-ordination among standards prevailing in different countries of the world. 0.4 Wherever a reference to any Indian Standard appears in this specification it shall be taken as a reference to the latest version of the standard. 0.5 Metric system has been adopted dimensions appearing in this standard in India and all quantities and have been given in this system.
0.6 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960 Rules for Rounding Off Numerical Values (Revised). The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard. 0.7 This standard is intended chiefly to cover the technical provisions relating to metal air ducts, and it does not include all the necessary provisions of a contract.

OF DUCTS
5.1 Straight sections of round ducts shall be formed by rolling the sheets to the proper radius and grooving the longitudinal seam. Rectan.gular ducts shall be constructed by breaking the corners and grooving the longitudinal seam. 5.2 The type of slips and transverse connections for various sizes of rectangular ducts shall be chosen from those indicated in co1 4 in co1 5 of Table I. of Table I. Bracing shall be as indicated 5.2.1 Simple elbows and transformation sections shall be formed with Pittsburgh corner seams; complicated fittings such as double compounded elbows shall be constructed with double seam corners. 5.2.2 End slips may be used in place of S-slips if found essential. Where drive slips are used, the end slips may be applied on the narrow side of the duct and the drive slips on only the maximum side.

NOTE-It is good practice to crow break or kink all flat surfaces vibration or buckling due to the air flow and accompanying variations pressure.

OF SHAPE
6.1 As far as possible, long radius elbows and gradual changes in shape shall be used so as to maintain uniform velocities accompanied by decreased turbulence, lower resistance and minimum noise. The ratio of the size of duct to the radius of elbow shall be normally not less than 1 : l-5. 6.2 Heavy ca.nvas connections, asbestos cloth connections, shall fans. and where there is a fire hazard, be used on both inlet and outlet to all
6.3 When obstructions cannot be avoided, the duct area shall in no case be decreased by more than ten percent and a streamlined collar shall be used in all such cases. Larger obstructions shall be provided Branch take-offs shall always be for by an increase in the duct size. arranged to cut or slice into the air stream to minimize the losses in velocity head. 7. INSPECTION
AND TESTING

responsible for putting right any manufacturing defects for a period of twelve months from the date of inspection and approval of the duct system. 9. MARKING 9.1 Metal air ducts may be marked with the
ISI Certification
Mark.
NOTE The use of the ISI Certification Mark is governed by the provisions of the Indian Standards Institution ( Certification Marks ) Act and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. The IS1 Mark on products covered by an Indian Standard conveys the assurance that they have been produced to comply with the requirements of that standard under a well-definedsystem of inspection, testing and quality control IS1 marked which is devised and supervised by ISI and o erated by the producer. roducts are also continuous1 checked by IS P for conformity to that standard as a urthcr safeguard. Details o % conditions under which a licence for the use of the ISI P Certification Mark may be granted to manufacturers or processors, may be obtain& from the Indian Standards Institution.
