Installation/Set-Up Challenges for Tubes, Spiral Wound, Galvanised Mild Steel, Flat Oval Section

Each type of tube or duct material comes with its own set of installation challenges. Here are some common challenges associated with each type:

1. Tubes:

   • Flat Oval Sections:
     • Fabrication Complexity: Creating bends and joints can be more complex compared to circular tubes.
     • Support and Mounting: Due to the irregular shape, securing flat oval sections in place may require special mounting methods.

2. Spiral Wound:

   • Sealing: Ensuring proper sealing and joining of the spiral wound sections can be a challenge, especially in high-pressure environments.
   • Accuracy: Precision in cutting and aligning spiral wound sections is crucial to avoid leaks and inefficiencies in the duct system.

3. Galvanized Mild Steel:

   • Corrosion Resistance: Despite being galvanized, mild steel can still be susceptible to corrosion over time, requiring proper maintenance and periodic inspections.
   • Weight: Galvanized mild steel is heavier than some alternative materials, which can make handling and installation more challenging.

When setting up ductwork using these materials, it's essential to consider factors such as proper sizing, insulation requirements, environmental conditions, and regulatory compliance to ensure efficient and safe operation. Professional installation by experienced technicians can help overcome many of these challenges.
