HVAC Duct Construction Standards - Metal & Flexible
The third edition of the HVAC Duct Construction Standards – Metal and Flexible is intended primarily for commercial and institutional duct construction. The standard contains tables and details for constructing ductwork for ½” to 10” wg positive and negative pressures. This edition improves upon the second edition with expanded pressure class tables, separate tables for TDC/TDF construction and expanded tables for round duct construction including 6” wg positive and negative pressure and sizes up to 96”. New in this edition is an engineering and design chapter to provide additional information to design professionals, double-wall construction details, new casing construction details and additional accessory items. The standard is applicable for construction using uncoated steel, galvanized and stainless steels and a limited range of aluminum ducts. This standard has been adopted in the ICC International Mechanical Code. Includes soft metrics. 390 pages. 3rd Ed., 2005.

Rectangular Industrial Duct Construction Standards, SI (Metric) Version
Written specifically for the international market, the Rectangular Industrial Duct Construction Standards, SI (Metric–le Système International d’Unités) version is based on the same theoretical work and scope of the Inch Pound (I-P) version, 2nd edition, published 2004. The difference between the two publications is that the data in the SI version is expressed in metric units and the ratings are based on using materials produced under and to ISO standards, in both strength and physical dimensions–Hard Metric. Refer to the Rectangular Industrial Duct Construction Standards I-P version for publication description. 444 pages. 2nd Ed., 2007.
