01 / UNDERSTAND THE EQUIPMENT

A composite-board name does not define the complete duct assembly

Jinyi publishes a steel-faced magnesium composite duct item dated 1 July 2022 and a separate magnesium high-crystal composite board item dated 30 June 2022. Both readable descriptions introduce sales of composite, galvanised-steel and stainless-steel ducts rather than a numerical technical schedule. No panel layer thickness, pressure class, thermal conductivity or fire-resistance duration is stated in these two descriptions.

The five actual duct-gallery photographs show rectangular straight sections, curved elbows, flange edges and exposed light-coloured interiors in a workshop setting. They do not contain a readable rating table or identify the panel manufacturer, core composition or factory ownership. The neighbouring board page uses a parking-garage installation image, not a labelled board cross-section. These images help discuss fabrication and interfaces; they cannot authenticate a tested assembly or an installed-project result.

Selection and application review

Agree what is delivered and who fabricates it

A panel supply, a fabricated section package and an installed duct system are three different purchases. State the boundary before comparing price or asking for certification. Jinyi’s sales description does not show that it manufactures the composite core or owns the workshop pictured. Identify the actual panel maker, fabrication party and proposed construction.

Panel supply

Define sheet size, complete layers, tolerances and handling conditions; identify who cuts, closes edges and fabricates sections.

Fabricated duct sections

Issue section/fitting drawings, joints, reinforcement, supports and accessories; agree transport splits and dimensional acceptance.

Installed system

Define site measurement, installation, sealing, penetrations, interfaces, pressure/leakage checks and handover responsibility.

Request a construction schedule that matches the photographs and order

The images show steel-like outer faces and light-coloured interiors, but appearance cannot establish steel grade, coating mass, core chemistry, density or fire behaviour. Obtain a section drawing showing both faces, core, adhesive/bonding, overall and layer thicknesses, edge closure and joint profiles. Record the exact product designation and batch traceability.

For each duct size, request permitted unsupported spans, reinforcement and support spacing with the applicable pressure/temperature conditions. Identify how elbows, branches, transitions and inspection openings are formed and supported. A thick-looking wall or large workshop section does not establish allowable size or resistance to deformation. Changes to panel, adhesive, joints or reinforcement may change the assembly evidence and should require a documented review.

Match a smoke-exhaust report to the whole proposed assembly

The site lists smoke-exhaust applications but the reviewed item reproduces no fire-resistance result or report number. Ask for the complete original report when the project specifies a fire or hot-smoke requirement. Compare the tested face/core construction, joints, reinforcement, section dimensions, support system and orientation with the proposed installation.

A material reaction-to-fire result and a duct assembly fire-resistance test answer different questions. Neither a magnesium-based name nor a board certificate alone proves that the fabricated duct retains the required integrity, insulation or leakage behaviour. Have the responsible project designer identify the applicable requirement and permissible changes; do not invent a duration or approval from a photograph of garage ductwork.

Evidence presently available

Two dated official product descriptions and actual fabrication/application photographs, with no complete assembly test package.

Read the source

Evidence to obtain for the project

Configuration-matched original report and applicable status, tested limits, installation details and confirmation that the offered assembly is covered.

Define positive and negative pressure and leakage acceptance

Specify design airflow, operating pressure sign and range, temperature and the required leakage basis. A supply duct operating under positive pressure and an extract duct under negative pressure do not present identical deformation and joint behaviour. Request the manufacturer’s documented size/reinforcement limits for the actual duty.

Agree how flange joints, corners, access panels and connections to fans, dampers and conventional metal ducts will be sealed and supported. Include gasket/sealant identity, connection drawing and any movement allowance. Plan an accessible representative section for the agreed pressure/leakage inspection before ceilings or shafts conceal the joints. Published application categories cannot replace a recorded test of the delivered system.

Treat insulation and moisture as an installation design

For conditioned-air service, establish insulation performance and the vapor-control detail for the actual air temperatures, humidity and surrounding conditions. No thermal-conductivity figure or condensation-free promise is published here. Check flanges, cut edges, supports and equipment connections for continuity of the proposed insulation and moisture barrier.

Ask for permitted storage/exposure conditions, protection of exposed edges and cleaning/repair instructions for the selected panel system. The gallery contains finished sections with open ends; agree dry protected packaging, end protection and delivery inspection rather than assume their construction is suitable for outdoor exposure. For grease, corrosive or hygienic service, obtain explicit suitability and cleaning evidence instead of transferring properties from the supplier’s stainless-steel duct offer.

Organise fabrication and site handover around a traceable sample

The useful comparison is a documented assembly and supply boundary. The website’s broad service promises do not give a project lead time, installation team or contract warranty. Resolve those commercially with the named supplier after the technical package is defined.

  1. Approve one assembly detail

    Review actual panel layers, joints, reinforcement, accessories, tested limits and fabrication drawings against the project conditions.

  2. Check a representative section

    Inspect dimensions, edge closure, joint fit, workmanship, traceability and agreed pressure/leakage evidence before repeating the construction.

  3. Handover the installed system

    Record delivered sections, supports and interfaces, inspection results, approved changes, cleaning/maintenance access and repair instructions.
