SOUTHWARK METAL MANUFACTURING COMPANY
“Duct School”
Our presentation begins with a four-hour course providing all the primary information and theory needed to understand how air flows in a residential HVAC system. This course also provides more advanced information and theory needed to calculate the proper duct size in a residential forced air system. This course provides 4 NATE continuing education credits.Topics include: • Air flow measurements and terminology• Heat gain/heat loss dynamics and calculations• Basic residential design and air flow calculation• Forced air pipe/duct and fittings review• Duct sizing theory and velocity limits• Complete instruction for the use of the sheet metal duct calculator• Supply distribution system and return distribution system review and calculations
This is followed by our hour-long course on the proper installation, sealing and testing of sheet metal ducting in residential HVAC forced air systems. This course grants participants 1 NATE continuing education credit.Topics include: • Criteria for a quality forced air system • Duct leakage as a major energy waster• Duct leakage as a major energy waster • Good sheet metal installation practices• Sealing materials and specifications • Where and how to seal sheet metal• System pressure testing procedures • Sealing standards and codes
