There are mainly two kinds of air ductwork flange systems of duct connection: American standard and European standard, which is the TDC/TDF flange, recommended by SMACNA association and LT/T mate flange as well as improved GDF/PDF flange recommended by UK HVAC association.
Transverse duct flange (HVAC) manufacturing Process

Flange forming machine TDF • Introduction
TDF unit is one of the two universal flanges making systems in the world, TDC and TDF rectangular duct flange, with low cost, well-seal and easy-fabrication, specially suitable to produce a duct with medium section area and applied in large-scale industrial manufacture. As a flexible machine, TDF will adapt to an auto line with a Pittsburgh lock machine, notcher and bending machine. It may also be used on site.
Flange forming machine TDF • TECHNOLOGY SPECIFICATION
TDF system is divided into three types: T-12, T-15, duplex machine T-150D. T-12, T-15 form one side into clip , and the other side into flange at the same time, and duplex machine T-15D forms both sides contemporary into a flange , TDF may be commonly used for its width ranges from 300 to 1530mm. Its maximum work speed is 6 m/min.
