DETERMINE THE DUCT ROUTING
1. Natural Routing Taken by Air Flow
(Fan Blower to farthest end room – Air Diffuser outlet) with a rational main
duct routing.
2. Determine the useful space within the Ceiling or Riser.
3. Identify fire resistance area and smoke resistance area.
4. Identify structure wall, column of building structure.
5. Study Building Layout identify external louver for supply and exhaust air.
6. Consider for future provision.

1. GI Duct
2. PID Duct
3. Stainless Steel Duct
4. Black Steel Duct
5. Masonry duct (Concrete Duct)

Determine Duct Material and Sizing
• Low Pressure Systems - where fan static pressures are less than 3 in WC (750
Pa) and duct velocities in general less than 1500 fpm (7.5 m/s)
• Medium Pressure Systems - where fan static pressures are in the range 3 to 6 in
WC (750 - 1500 Pa) and duct velocities in general less than 2500 fpm (12.5 m/s)
• High Pressure Systems - where fan static pressures are in the range 6 to 10 in
WC (1500 - 2500 Pa) and duct velocities in general less than 4000 fpm (20 m/s)
Medium pressure classification is commonly used for primary main ductwork like fan
connections, risers and main distribution.
Low pressure classification should be used for secondary ductwork like runouts and
branches from main ducts to end terminals
