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.
