Clock Hours: 100
Delivery Mode
on-ground
Prerequisites: PFP 2011/NCCER Pipefitting Level 2
Industry Certifications Pipefitting and Plumbing Technician
Course Description:
Pipefitting level 3 covers pipe support systems, aboveground installation, mathematical calculations, and industry standards. Students learn the proper installation of hangers and supports, techniques for measuring and assembling aboveground pipe runs, essential mathematical formulas for takeouts and offsets, and compliance with relevant codes and standards. Emphasis is placed on practical applications of geometry and trigonometry, proper documentation of project modifications, and quality assurance in pipeline construction.
