Industrial Duct Design
Industrial Duct Design
(OP)
I am designing a hot gas duct for a boiler exhaust. I am trying to determine what allowable stress to use for the meridional stress to prevent buckling of the duct. I have purchased "The Structural Design of Air and Gas Ducts for Power Stations and Industrial Applications" published by ASCE. It seems to tell me what to do, but not how to do it. I am looking at purchasing "Round Industrial Duct Construction Standards" published by SMACNA. This book is $340 so I want to make sure it is what I need before I order it.
Is anybody familiar with this manual?

I'd talk to someone who's done this before or try to pick the brain of an engineer at one of the big companies.
