Piping Systems

Description

In this course we look at pipe work systems for water, air, steam, fuel oil, chemicals and fire protection.

On completion of this training course, you will be able to:

• Explain the requirement to select the correct type of piping material for chemical piping systems
• Identify and describe acids commonly used in commercial processes and what type of pipe would be suitable for this application.
• Identify caustics commonly used in commercial processes and the considerations for selecting piping materials.
• Describe a typical compressed air piping system and the safety guidelines that apply when work is being carried out.
• Describe a typical fuel oil piping system and specify considerations for selection of materials for fuel oil piping systems.
• Describe a typical steam piping system and explain how the properties of steam influence the type of piping material to be selected.
• Identify the different types of water piping systems and describe considerations for selecting piping materials.
• Distinguish between the following types of fire sprinkler systems and their various applications • wet pipe • dry pipe • deluge water spray • ESFR • dry chemical • wet and dry riser • foam water
• Classify the various types of valves and components used in fire sprinkler systems.
• Explain the requirement for standard identification system on pipe.

Who is this course for?
This course is ideal for those that are new to the engineering sector and who want to learn about piping systems.

This course is also beneficial to those working in life sciences but looking to expand their knowledge into bioprocessing.
