In J-PARC 3GeV synchrotron (RCS), new quadrupole magnets (quadrupole correctors) are planned to be installed in order to correct the edge focusing effect and tune. In this report, we describe a deliberation flow about the design of the beam ducts, which are installed in the quadrupole corrector. The effects of eddy current were examined in the case of the titanium duct. The calculated results showed that the temperature rise was too much (up to over 350C) and the magnetic field in the beam duct is largely distorted. Therefore we decided to employ alumina ceramics beam ducts. The stress and displacement, which are caused by the atmospheric pressure, were estimated by simulating the realistic equipments in the beam line. It was found that there was no large stress and displacement by installing the alumina ceramics duct.
