Course Description
Introduces pipe fitting concepts and techniques to fabricate pipe spools for the maritime industry. Prerequisites: WLD 293 or department permission.
Intended Outcomes for the course
Upon successful completion of the course students should be able to:
- Function safely in a welding shop and a shipyard environment.
- Interpret blueprints to lay out, prepare, and assemble a pipe system.
- Create a material list for a maritime welding project.
- Calculate takeoffs.
- Sketch spools to “see” takeoffs.
- Operate oxy fuel cutting equipment (OFC) and pneumatic tools according to industry standards.
- Fabricate pipe spools using introductory pipe fabrication techniques.
Course Activities and Design
Each concept will be delivered via a combination of lectures and videos followed by practical demonstrations and hands-on application in the welding lab.
Outcome Assessment Strategies
Oral or written examinations, quizzes, written assignments, visual inspection, welding tests and task performance.
