Pipe Fitting

This course will provide the trainee with the knowledge necessary to understand and enhance their mechanical aptitude in the area of Pipe Fitting.

The purpose of this course is to develop a working knowledge of various types of piping and associated valves as well as the different procedures and regulations associated with maintenance and installation of this equipment during installation and repairs. With the completion of this course the participants are equipped with the basic knowledge required to identify the construction and designs of piping and associated fittings.

Technicians in the Petroleum Industry are required to have good technical knowledge of Piping.  The technicians that participate in this training will be better equipped to repair and maintain these systems that are within their responsibilities as well as increasing the knowledge within the maintenance team.  This will increase the safe and efficient productivity of the mechanical systems.  With further on-job training and experience the technician will be able to attend more advanced training in this area therefore enhancing the maintenance team’s capabilities and knowledge.
