Properties Physical Properties

C.A.T.S., as manufactured by Standard Sheet Metal Works LLC., is a round duct product made from carbon steel,galvanized steel, 304 stainless steel or 316L stainlesssteel. It is seam welded with Van Stone Flanged ends, ½”flanged ends, or raw ends. All C.A.T.S., Chemical AirTransfer System products are manufactured at or aboveSMACNA specifications.

Type 304 Stainless Steel is a low carbon variation of

general purpose stainless steel. It offers excellentresistance to a wide range of corrosives and atmosphericexposures.

Type 316L Stainless Steel is an extra low carbon variation

of type 316 stainless steel. It has the best corrosionresistance of the standard stainless steels. It is resistantto pitting and most chemicals.

Carbon Steel is a common material used in industrial duct

systems with the advantage of being fabricated, weldedand painted easily. It is not recommended fortemperatures above 650OF or for protection against corrosive materials.

Galvanized Steel construction provides protection from

atmospheric exposures. However, it is not recommendedfor use in systems transferring corrosive aerosols.Galvanized steel should not be used for temperaturesexceeding 400OF.

Thermal Properties

The thermal rating of C.A.T.S. is 250o F. maximum temperature due to joint seals and expansion restrictions.

Dear Brad, The specification sheet below provides a general description about the product followed by guidelines to the performance of its components. The performance values for the foam are commonly listed as an average test value and displayed in accordance with its associated ASTM. Adhesive performance values are listed by test acceptance criterions and referenced to a PSTC test method. Product Name: SCE/RE 41 W/NSPSA-C Product Code: CA002 Part Number: PP01

In addition, Duraco's adhesive systems are lab tested up to 200°F and specific test data can be supplied upon request. Specialized applications may require individual analysis and test. Reference to flammability standards contained herein should be used solely to measure and describe the properties of materials, products or systems in response to heat and flame under controlled laboratory conditions and should not be considered or used for the description, appraisal or regulation of the fire hazard of materials, products or systems under actual fire conditions. We provide this information and recommendations for informative purposes only. The data expressed represents typical values and are based on tests that we believe to be accurate and reliable. Sincerely,

John Curtin Quality Assurance Manager Duraco, Inc.

Other hazardous ingredients may be used in product formulations but are below OSHA reportable values.

SECTION 3: Hazards Identification

In form supplied, has no known hazards.

Above 536°F (280°C), a number of decomposition products can be produced which present ahealth risk if inhaled. At 824°F (440°C), carbonyl fluoride which, in presence of air, converts tohighly corrosive and toxic hydrogen fluoride. Never use PTFE products above 380°C. Do notsmoke when handling PTFE material.

Emergency Overview: When thermally decomposed, may cause polymer fume fever with flu-like symptoms or eye, nose, and throat irritation.

Potential Health EffectsEYE: If overexposure occurs due to thermal decomposition, flush with water for 15 minutesand call a physician.SKIN: None under normal use and conditions.INHALATION: If overexposure occurs due to thermal decomposition, move to fresh air andseek medical attention.INGESTION: None under normal use and conditions.

Carcinogenicity: NA

Medical Conditions Aggravated: None under normal use and conditions.

Chronic Effects: NA

SECTION 4: First Aid Measures

EYES: If overexposure occurs due to thermal decomposition, immediately flush withwater for 15 minutes and call a physician.

SKIN: Wash with soap and water.INHALATION: Remove to fresh air, and seek medical attention.INGESTION: Drink plenty of fluid to assist passage through system. Seek medical attention.

SECTION 5: Fire-Fighting Measures

Flash Point: 986° to 1022°F Flammable Limits: LEL: NA UEL: NA

Extinguishing Media: Water, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or foam.

Fire-Fighting Procedures: Fire fighters should wear SCBA and full protective equipment forprotection against hazardous thermal decomposition products. Hazardous gases/vaporsproduced are hydrogen fluoride, carbonyl fluoride, and potentially toxic fluorinated compounds.

Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Will burn in 100% oxygen atmosphere when ignitionsource is present.

SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures

No special action required.

SECTION 7: Handling, Use & Storage

Handling: Normal wash up after handling is recommended. Do not smoke when handling.

Storage: Store in a clean dry area away from highly flammable material.

Use: The limitations of use, as shown in the graphs, are for guidance only. Thermosealengineers can advise on gasket selection and installation based on specified operatingconditions. If you are in any doubt, visit our website at www.thermosealinc.com, fax usat 937-498-4911 or phone us at 937-498-2222.

Gasket installation should be carried out by trained personnel only.

The ability of a gasket material to make and maintain a seal depends not only on the quality ofthe gasket material, but also on medium being sealed, the flange design, the amount ofpressure applied to the gasket by the bolts and how the gasket is assembled into the flangesand tightened.

The higher the operating pressure and/or temperature, the greater the care and expertiserequired in selecting and installing gaskets. This includes, but is not limited to: confirmation thatthe flanges are suitable for the intended use; the finish on the flange faces; the parallelism of theflange faces; confirmation that the studs, bolts, washers and nuts are suitable for the intendeduse and in good condition; no antistick compound is applied to the flanges or gaskets;confirmation that the gasket material is suitable for the intended use; and the gasket is evenlyloaded by the correct tightening sequence of the bolts or studs, and to the correct torque to givethe required gasket assembly stress. The use of torque wrenches, hydraulic bolt tensioners orother loading devices can assist achievement of the correct gasket stress.

The application of release agents to the gasket or flanges may cause gasket failure.

Because conditions of use are beyond the manufacturer’s control, it is the responsibilityof the user to ensure that the product is suitable for the intended use.

WARNING: Catastrophic gasket failure can be caused by steam or water hammer. Steam orwater hammer can cause an instantaneous increase in internal pressure on the assembly thatfar exceeds the design or test pressures. Where water hammer exists, the basic problem shouldbe corrected. DO NOT USE Thermoseal® Sealex® IN APPLICATIONS WHERE WATER ORSTEAM HAMMER MAY STRESS THE GASKET BEYOND ITS DESIGN LIMITS.
