Pressure Loss in Plumbing Systems

COURSE NO: M02-067
PDH CREDIT: 2
Pressure Loss in Plumbing Systems
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides an in-depth look at pressure loss in plumbing systems. Participants will explore the principles of pressure loss in pipes and fittings, the factors that affect it, and measurement techniques.

 

This course is grounded in research from NIST's Plumbing Hydraulics Laboratory, enabling engineers and designers to enhance system efficiency and comply with modern standards. Through practical examples and experimental data on various pipe types, including copper, CPVC, and PEX, the course offers valuable insights into optimizing plumbing systems. This course equips participants with the knowledge needed to improve system performance and ensure regulatory compliance in their projects.

 

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, designers, and professionals involved in plumbing and hydraulic system design.
