GI Ducting

Galvanized Iron (GI) Ducting forms the essential network for distributing conditioned or ventilated air throughout buildings and industrial facilities. Renowned for its strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness, GI ducting provides a reliable pathway for air, ensuring optimal comfort, air quality, and process efficiency. At Sri Venkateshwara Air Systems in Bangalore, Karnataka, we understand the critical role of high-quality GI ducting and offer precision-engineered solutions to meet diverse project requirements.

GI Ducting: The Backbone of Efficient Air Distribution

Types of GI Ducting Systems

To cater to the specific needs of different applications, GI ducting is available in various types, primarily differentiated by their shape and jointing methods:

• Rectangular Ducting: This is the most common type of GI ducting, favored for its space efficiency and ease of fabrication. It's widely used in commercial buildings, offices, and industrial facilities for both supply and return air systems.

• Round Ducting: Offering superior airflow characteristics due to its smooth, uniform shape, round ducting minimizes air resistance and pressure drop. It's often preferred for high-velocity systems and longer runs.

• Spiral Round Ducting: A specific type of round ducting manufactured with a helical lock seam, offering enhanced rigidity and strength, even with thinner gauges of GI. It's popular for its aesthetic appeal and efficient airflow.

• Oval Ducting: A compromise between rectangular and round ducting, oval ducting offers better airflow than rectangular while fitting into tighter spaces where round ducting might not be feasible.

• Flat Oval Ducting: A more flattened version of oval ducting, specifically designed for installations with very limited headroom.

Key Features of GI Ducting

GI ducting's widespread adoption stems from its impressive array of key features:

• Durability and Strength: The galvanization process, which involves coating steel with a protective layer of zinc, provides exceptional resistance to corrosion, rust, and physical damage. This ensures a long service life, even in challenging environments.

• Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to other ducting materials like stainless steel or aluminum, GI ducting offers a more economical solution without compromising on strength and longevity, making it a budget-friendly choice for many applications.

• Ease of Fabrication and Installation: GI is a relatively easy material to cut, shape, and join using various methods like screws, rivets, welding, or specialized jointing systems. This simplifies the fabrication and installation process, potentially reducing project timelines and labor costs.

• Fire Resistance: Galvanized iron is non-combustible, contributing to the overall fire safety of a building's HVAC system. It helps contain the spread of fire and smoke within the ductwork.

• Versatility: GI ducting can be fabricated into various shapes and sizes (rectangular, round, oval) to accommodate diverse architectural designs and space constraints.

• Low Maintenance: Due to its corrosion resistance and robust construction, GI ducting requires minimal maintenance over its lifespan, contributing to lower operational costs.

• Lightweight (Relative to Strength): While strong, GI is relatively lightweight compared to its strength, making it easier to handle and install, especially in elevated or complex installations.
