Pipe Support Systems
This 2-hour online course describes the
importance of pipe support design, particularly in the power
industry where high pressure and high temperature systems are
encountered. The basic theories and principles of pipe stress
calculations are discussed, although the course does not go into
the detailed calculations, which are generally performed by
reiterative computer programs. - 2 PDH
Pressure Vessel Chemical Cracking
Engineers involved in the design, fabrication,
purchase, inspection and maintenance of pressure vessels and
tanks need to be aware of the fluid services where cracking has
been observed and take measures to mitigate the problem. - 1 PDH
Valve Fundamentals
Valves are one of the simplest components in most
piping systems, but the importance of proper valve selection
cannot be overemphasized. Premature valve failure can result in
loss of fluid pressure containment, which often leads to
undesirable consequences. Before attempting to select a valve,
the engineer should first gain a basic understanding of each
type of valve and how it operates. This course covers the
fundamentals of valves, including the different types of valves
commercially available and how they operate. - 4 PDH
Seismic Restraints for Duct and Pipe
In this course the student will learn the basics
of how to attach duct and pipe to a structure to minimize
earthquake damage. There are many attachment examples shown in
the source document for this course including anchoring and the
use of special devices called seismic restraint devices. This
course and the source document do not supersede code
requirements; however, it provides a good fundamental basis for
understanding the practical requirements for installing ducts
and pipes requiring seismic bracing. Users of the information in
this course and the source document assume all liability arising
from such use. - 6 PDH

Backflow Preventers
You must have a backflow preventer on your irrigation
system. In most places this is the law, everywhere else its just the
smart thing to do. Almost everywhere the local authorities will dictate
that certain types of backflow preventers may not be used with
irrigation systems because they do not provide adequate protection. In
some cases, the authorities will dictate the exact type of backflow
preventer you MUST use.
The Flo-Control Valve
The principle that made gravity hot water heat work (the
fact that hot water will rise because it weighs less than cold water) is
the very thing Flo-Control valves are designed to stop.
The Feedback Control Loop
Valves are usually non-linear. That is, the flow through
the valve is not the same as the valve position. Several types of valves
exist.
Technical Principles of Valves
Solenoid valves are used wherever fluid flow has to be
controlled automatically. They are being used to an increasing degree in
the most varied types of plants and equipment. The variety of different
designs which are available enables a valve to be selected to
specifically suit the application in question.
