ATPP 1140 - Pipefitting Power Piping Systems

Credit Hours: 3.00

Prerequisites: ATPP 1100 and ATWD 1110; or consent of apprenticeship coordinator, or related work experience

Introduction to maintenance for power piping systems, steam, gas, water, and air. The study of generating power for industrial application and conversion of water to steam for power. Considerations are also given to safety, definitions, and application of piping terms; materials such as hangers, flanges, valves, and gaskets for the various systems are included. Specifications standards of threaded and welded systems, fabrication, including welding hot and cold bending of steel and tubing, are thoroughly examined.

Location: South Campus

Contact Hours: 3
Billable Contact Hours: 3
OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
Outcome 1: Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to describe and show on paper how to field fabricate pipe fittings to industry standards.

Objectives:

  1. Given a pattern and step‐by‐step instructions in the text, the student will construct on paper, cut out, and assemble a four‐piece pipe bend, to an accuracy of 90%.
  2. Given a pattern and step‐by‐step instructions in the text, the student will construct on paper, cut out, and assemble a tee and a reducing tee, to an accuracy of 90%.
  3. Given a pattern and step‐by‐step instructions in the text, the student will construct on paper, cut out, and assemble a lateral and a reducing lateral, to an accuracy of 90%.
  4. Given a pattern and step‐by‐step instructions in the text, the student will construct on paper, cut out, and assemble a cross fitting, to an accuracy of 90%.
  5. Given a pattern and step‐by‐step instructions in the text, the student will construct on paper, cut out, and assemble a concentric reducer and an eccentric reducer, to an accuracy of 90%.
  6. Given a pattern and step‐by‐step instructions in the text, the student will construct on paper, cut out, and assemble an orange peel plug and a bull plug, to an accuracy of 90%.

Outcome 2: Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to list and describe three steam traps.

Objectives:

  1. Given a video presentation and exam questions, the student will identify a thermostatic steam trap, to an accuracy of 80%.
  2. Given a video presentation and exam questions, the student will identify an F&T steam trap, to an accuracy of 80%.
  3. Given a video presentation and exam questions, the student will identify an inverted bucket steam trap, to an accuracy of 80%.
  4. Given a video presentation and exam questions, the student will describe the difference in operation of each trap, to an accuracy of 80%.

Outcome 3: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to describe the troubleshooting, maintenance, and repair of three steam traps.

Objectives:

  1. Given a video presentation and exam questions, the student will identify operational problems and maintenance of a thermostatic steam trap, to an accuracy of 80%.
  2. Given a video presentation and exam questions, the student will identify operational problems and maintenance of an F&T steam trap, to an accuracy of 80%.
  3. Given a video presentation and exam questions, the student will identify operational problems and maintenance of an inverted bucket steam trap, to an accuracy of 80%.
