MATH-1012Applied Mathematics
More Information

In this course, you will learn mathematics as they apply to the trade. Topics covered include fractions, decimals, measurement, percent, square root, area (rectilinear, circular, and sphere), volume (rectilinear and cylinder), pressure in liquids/gases, ratio and proportion, and parallel, jumper, and rolling offset calculations (45º, 60º, and 22.5º).

PIPE-1004Piping & Materials - Practical
More Information

This course allows you to transfer theoretical knowledge underpinning piping, materials, and equipment to practical projects. Projects will give you practice in handling, measuring, cutting, and assembling common types of pipe according to code regulations. In addition, you will practice reaming and threading steel pipe using hand dies, cutters, reamers, and power threading machines. Joining copper pipe and fittings using hard and soft solders will also be done along with making flared and compression joints according to code regulations. Other procedures you will learn include how to groove steel and copper pipe for victaulic fittings and assemble victaulic and flanged materials. You will be shown specialty pipe such as sewage disposal and special waste pipe. Finally, you will practice using drain cleaning equipment.

PIPE-1006Blueprint Reading & Sketching
More Information

This course gives you practice in the interpretation of simple drawings and blueprints. As well, it trains you to produce 'on-the-job' sketches intended as a means of communication within the trade.
