Course Overview
From bringing water over long distances into our homes and taking wet waste out through sewage systems to storage and transport of crude oil and gases, just about all industries require the knowledge of good pipe design and application. This includes having awareness of the principles that underlie pipe design and the auxiliary systems that complete a piping structure. This module deals with exactly that.
