Week 4: Wed PTH Section 6- Piping Offsets

Piping Offsets require a specialized application of trigonometry. The application in piping is simplified by the fact that we mostly use only a few angles, 22-1/2, 30, 45, and 60 with 45 being the most common angle of fittings. In the case of 45 it is easy to remember the necessary constants, 1.414 and .707.

But if you remember 1.414 solve most of the offset related calculations. 

Continue with the WHMIS GHS assignment and watch for the labels on all products you use. What type of information should you expect on a label.

Week 3, Wed: Pipe 0001 -- More Code Introduction

We started an overview of the code book just reading through to see what is there and the kind of language used.

For Pipe 0001 we will focus mostly on the first parts of the code, especially the definitions which are found in Division A, Section 1.4 and the Division B, Section 2.2 Materials and Equipment. 

Today we continued a read through of the Code book for orientation purposes.

 We continued with Pipe Trades Handbook Section 5: Gasketed Joints. Information about tools and materials is starting to come together from a few directions, code, PT handbook, math modules and drafting.
