Duration

4 days

Aimed at

Engineers, Technicians and Senior Foremen

Overview

The course is structured around input from the course leader, assessment exercises and case studies drawn from field experiences. Delegates will be expected to bring calculators (preferably scientific), a ruler and a flexible curve to draw system head curves. Feedback for all the assessments is provided during the course so as to maximise the learning experience.

• Design pipe work systems which have more than one outlet.
• Define the causes of water hammer, calculate its transient values and offer appropriate.
• actions which will reduce or eliminate its occurrence.
• Define the procedures necessary to install, test and commission a piping system.
