We are submitting this letter for the approval for Gauge (Caliber) of metal Sheet for Square and Round
Duct. Here attached you will find 10 pages (not included this cover letter).

The proposal is based on SMACNA duct construction Norm and its addendum for TDC (Transverse
Duct Connector System) of 1992. We are using more conservative (thicker material) than what strictly
SMACNA norm requires, based on our experience of more than 10 years with this system.

Also important to note is that the TDC system has been installed in the VW Puebla plant based on the
SMACNA TDC information for the last 10 year, just recently we installed 2 systems in Halle 82.

We have the following NOTES:

Note 1.- TDC system as per Audi Specification is a proprietary system from Lockformer Company and
patented, they requested back in 1992 an special addendum to SMACNA norm to include the sytem.
From 1995 until the latest version of SMACNA norm, the TDC is now known as T25a traverse joint
reinforcement.

Note 2.- We are proposing a more conservative use of calibers (gauges) of metals as we know the
performance expected by AUDI, Functional Criteria shows the maximum deflection on ducts, our intent
is to reduce even more those values.

Note 3.- The TDC is a flange made from the same duct material, it is now T25a traverse joint
reinforcement. Our system is based on a 4 ft (4’ or 1200 mm) distance in between flanges (see page 8 and
9).

Note 4.- The table shown in page 3 is a summary of the TDC (t25a) standard, the Yellow line is
CEDINSA’s proposal to use gagues (GA) 24,22,20,18,16 and reinforced with Tied Rod system for larger
ducts, reducing the deflection to an unnoticeable level based in our experience.

Note 5.- For Round Duct, we propose the use of Table 3-2 B for -4” wg (-1016 Pascals) avoiding the use
of gauge 28 (too thin) and instead of reinforcing the gauge 18, use gauge 16, we prefer to use the negative
pressure table as it is more strict and avoids the problem in the field of mixing positive/negative pressure
duct of the same diameter (that will be different gauge in some cases)

Also important to note is that we generated a System in Excel software to select calibers (gauges),
supports and clamps that depends on this definitions we are here presenting ALONG with the
SUPPORTS to building trusses.

We need your prompt response as we have not been able to produce duct yet until this definition is dones.

Best regards
