INPF 20041 - Pipe Fittings and Pressure Loss

0.25 CR
The pipefitting student will learn that pipe fittings are used to connect pipelines, redirect flow, diverge, and converge to flow. Any fitting installed in a pipeline adds additional resistance to the flow of fluid resulting in pressure drop across the pipeline.

Course Learning Outcomes:
  1. Demonstrate safe and proper use of pipefitting tools, equipment, and measuring devices.
  2. Explain nominal pipe size and schedule.
  3. Identify pipe fittings.
  4. Associate fitting construction to pressure reduction.
  5. Name types of pipe by the material of construction (MOC).
  6. Identify types of piping connections.
  7. Construct a pipe assembly using various types of pipe and connection methods.
