Additional Course Information
Topical Outline: Each offering of this course must include the following topics (be sure to include information regarding lab,
practicum, and clinical or other non-lecture instruction).
Pipe Fittings including manufacturing, joining processes and calculating fitting make-up - identify fittings and describe
their uses in pipe runs
Flange Basics - identify types and describe their uses in pipe runs
Valves and Mechanical Equipment in the Piping System - identify types and describe applications as throttling and non-
throttling
Flow Diagrams, Instrumentation, Codes and Specifications including Abbreviations - identify abbreviations and read
diagrams to determine the fittings, flanges, valves, etc needed to complete pipe run
Equipment Layout - create drawing using plant coordinates to place equipment; label per drafting standards
Read and draw Plan and Elevation Drawings - using specifications and existing data, read drawing to calculate pipe
lengths, create drawings looking from above and vertically from all directions
Standard Piping Details - create drawing of steam traps, pipe supports, pipe anchors, that are used repeatedly thorough
a plant
Piping Isometrics - 3D representation of a pipe run, fully dimension to enable pipe fitters to assemble pipes from various
equipment
Offsets and Rolling Offsets - calculated dimensions for pipe that makes a change in direction and a change in elevation at
the same location classroom Learning Experience.
