Course Description:
Pipe fabrication is the use of either ordinate tables or trigonometry to fabricate fittings and pipe assemblies to suit a process application. In this course, the students will learn to use trigonometry to produce ordinates, and to use ordinates to lay out miters and laterals. The students will also learn alternative methods of calculating and drawing the ordinates to lay out the cuts for laterals, fish-mouths, and mitered turns. These formulas are provided for putting together multiple offsets around an obstacle, either equal spread or unequal spread.

Student Learning Outcomes:

Calculate simple piping offsets
Calculate three-line, 45-degree, equal-spread offsets around a vessel
Calculate three-line, 45-degree, unequal spread offsets
Fabricate tank heating coils
Perform mitering procedures
Lay out and construct three and four piece mitered turns
Lay out and construct 45-degree laterals, using references or a calculator
Fabricate dummy legs and trunions out of pipe using references
Perform geometric layout of pipe laterals and supports
Lay out and fabricate a wye
