SCIE-1027Science for Piping Trades
This course will provide students with a strong foundational knowledge of scientific principles and terminology used in the piping trades. Students will examine and calculate the mechanical advantage of simple machines, including levers, pulleys, and axles. Students will apply scientific principles like Boyle’s Law and Bernoulli’s Theorem to analyze hydrodynamic, hydrostatic, and pneumatic systems. Students will examine the physical and chemical properties of water including pH, hardness, and expansion. Students will identify and describe common metals and alloys and compute properties important in piping trades.
