its description, composition, thickness and physical and chemical
properties. TYPICAL DATA sheet is enclosed (SK-1254-NMEJ-001/00
,SK-1254-NMEJ-002/00 & SK-1254-NMEJ-003/00) and all the relevant
data for each layer to be filled in and submitted along with the offer.
This will be subjected to scrutiny by the owner and improvement
commented are to be accommodated by the vendor during technical
evaluations.
c) Proposed field splices and their locations to be clearly indicated in the
offer.
d) There shall be no leakage through the joint into or from the
atmosphere.
e) Expansion joints shall have adequate mating surfaces for attachment
to the duct work.
COLD PRESET: -
f) Cold pre-set in connecting duct system is not envisaged. Hence vendor
to design the NMEJ for the design movement without cold pre-set.
4.2 FRAME -
a) Material of frame shall be same / equivalent as the duct and minimum
thickness shall be same as that of duct.
b) Composite section of the frame on each side of the fabric joint shall be
sized to withstand at least 50% greater than the maximum pressure
condition stated in the specification.

provided externally. drawing of typical clamping arrangement to be
submitted for approval and this typical drg to be referred in the G.A.
drg.
4.3 FABRIC
Due consideration shall be given for the following in selection of the gas
seal membrane, insulating layers, insulation retainer and encasement
layer etc.
a) Functional requirement.
b) Temperature capability.
c) Chemical resistance
