Overview

GI duct is galvanized steel ductwork for supply, return and exhaust air. Tawreed fabricates it at its factory in Birkat Al Awamer, Qatar, in rectangular, circular and oval profiles, to SMACNA and DW 142 / DW 144 and QCS 2024 Section 22, from galvanized steel to ASTM A527 / A653 with a G90 / Z275 coating. The datasheet covers sheet from 0.4 mm up to 3 mm; for rectangular duct, the SMACNA tables below give 0.60 to 1.5 mm by duct size and pressure class. The duct can be factory-made or fabricated on site to the project BOQ, and it is not insulated when it is made: insulation is added on site after installation.

Frequently asked questions

How long does delivery take for GI duct?

Standard GI and pre-insulated (PI) duct orders are usually ready within 2 working days of order confirmation. Large or special orders are scheduled with you when we quote.

Do you supply GI duct only, or also install it?

How fast will I get a quotation for GI duct?

Send your BOQ or product list through the quote form or WhatsApp (+974 7097 0111) and our technical team replies with a formal quotation within 4 business hours.

What sheet thickness is used for a 1000 mm duct at 750 Pa?

0.80 mm. In the SMACNA table in our GI duct datasheet, 750 Pa ducts with a longer side of 601–1200 mm use 0.80 mm sheet.

Which transverse joint is used on a 1200 mm duct?

A 30 mm flange, snapped on the sides with corners and clips, for a longer side of 1050–1200 mm. The joint table is the same for 500, 750 and 1000 Pa.
